Create a Campaign Budget

The following example creates a new average daily budget for a campaign.

Java

private static String addCampaignBudget(GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient, long customerId) {
  CampaignBudget budget =
      CampaignBudget.newBuilder()
          .setName("Interplanetary Cruise Budget #" + getPrintableDateTime())
          .setDeliveryMethod(BudgetDeliveryMethod.STANDARD)
          .setAmountMicros(500_000)
          .build();

  CampaignBudgetOperation op = CampaignBudgetOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(budget).build();

  try (CampaignBudgetServiceClient campaignBudgetServiceClient =
      googleAdsClient.getLatestVersion().createCampaignBudgetServiceClient()) {
    MutateCampaignBudgetsResponse response =
        campaignBudgetServiceClient.mutateCampaignBudgets(
            Long.toString(customerId), ImmutableList.of(op));
    String budgetResourceName = response.getResults(0).getResourceName();
    System.out.printf("Added budget: %s%n", budgetResourceName);
    return budgetResourceName;
  }
}

    // Create the campaign budget.
    CampaignBudget budget = new CampaignBudget()
    {
        Name = "Interplanetary Cruise Budget #" + ExampleUtilities.GetRandomString(),
        DeliveryMethod = BudgetDeliveryMethod.Standard,

    };

    // Create the operation.

}

Campaign budget recommendations

The Google Ads API provides some recommendation types to help you optimize your campaign budgets:

  • CAMPAIGN_BUDGET suggests a new budget amount for budget-constrained campaigns.

  • MOVE_UNUSED_BUDGET highlights opportunities to reallocate excess budget from one campaign to another budget-constrained campaign.

  • MARGINAL_ROI_CAMPAIGN_BUDGET suggests a new budget amount for campaigns whose ROI is predicted to increase with a budget adjustment.

  • FORECASTING_CAMPAIGN_BUDGET suggests a new budget amount for campaigns that are expected to become budget-constrained in the future.
