Creating a Hotel Ad Group

In order to serve ads for your Hotel campaign, you must create an AdGroup with at least one ad in the ad group. As shown later, a Hotel campaign supports only an ad group of the HOTEL_ADS type, which you can set in the type field. The code example also sets a Percent CPC bid since the campaign's bidding strategy is PercentCpc.

Java

private String addHotelAdGroup(
    GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient, long customerId, String campaignResourceName) {
  // Creates an ad group.
  AdGroup adGroup =
      AdGroup.newBuilder()
          .setName("Earth to Mars Cruises #" + getPrintableDateTime())
          .setCampaign(campaignResourceName)
          // Sets the ad group type to HOTEL_ADS. This cannot be set to other types.
          .setType(AdGroupType.HOTEL_ADS)
          .setCpcBidMicros(1_000_000L)
          .setStatus(AdGroupStatus.ENABLED)
          .build();

  // Creates an ad group operation.
  AdGroupOperation operation = AdGroupOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(adGroup).build();

  // Issues a mutate request to add an ad group.
  try (AdGroupServiceClient adGroupServiceClient =
      googleAdsClient.getLatestVersion().createAdGroupServiceClient()) {
    MutateAdGroupResult mutateAdGroupResult =
        adGroupServiceClient
            .mutateAdGroups(Long.toString(customerId), Collections.singletonList(operation))
            .getResults(0);
    System.out.printf(
        "Added a hotel ad group with resource name: '%s'%n",
        mutateAdGroupResult.getResourceName());
    return mutateAdGroupResult.getResourceName();
  }
}
