Create a Smart Display Campaign

Campaign budget

You can use an existing campaign budget or create a new one:

Java

private static String createCampaignBudget(GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient, long customerId) {
  // Creates the budget.
  CampaignBudget campaignBudget =
      CampaignBudget.newBuilder()
          .setName("Interplanetary Cruise Budget #" + getPrintableDateTime())
          .setAmountMicros(5_000_000)
          .setDeliveryMethod(BudgetDeliveryMethod.STANDARD)
          .build();

  // Creates the operation.
  CampaignBudgetOperation operation =
      CampaignBudgetOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(campaignBudget).build();

  // Creates the campaign budget service client.
  try (CampaignBudgetServiceClient campaignBudgetServiceClient =
      googleAdsClient.getLatestVersion().createCampaignBudgetServiceClient()) {
    // Adds the campaign budget.
    MutateCampaignBudgetsResponse response =
        campaignBudgetServiceClient.mutateCampaignBudgets(
            Long.toString(customerId), ImmutableList.of(operation));
    // Displays the result.
    String budgetResourceName = response.getResults(0).getResourceName();
    System.out.printf("Added budget with resource name '%s'.%n", budgetResourceName);
    return budgetResourceName;
  }
}AddSmartDisplayAd.java

C#

private static string CreateBudget(GoogleAdsClient client, long customerId)
{
    // Get the BudgetService.
    CampaignBudgetServiceClient budgetService = client.GetService(
        Services.V10.CampaignBudgetService);

    // Create the campaign budget.
    CampaignBudget budget = new CampaignBudget()
    {
        Name = "Interplanetary Cruise Budget #" + ExampleUtilities.GetRandomString(),
        DeliveryMethod = BudgetDeliveryMethod.Standard,
        AmountMicros = 500000
    };

    // Create the operation.
    CampaignBudgetOperation budgetOperation = new CampaignBudgetOperation()
    {
        Create = budget
    };

    // Create the campaign budget.
    MutateCampaignBudgetsResponse response = budgetService.MutateCampaignBudgets(
        customerId.ToString(), new CampaignBudgetOperation[] { budgetOperation });

    string budgetResourceName = response.Results.First().ResourceName;

    // Print out some information about the added budget.
    Console.WriteLine($"Added campaign budget with resource name =" +
        $" '{budgetResourceName}'.");

    return budgetResourceName;

Smart Display Campaign

To create a Smart Display campaign, follow the steps in our code example with these specifics:

Set the advertising_channel_type to DISPLAY.
Set the advertising_channel_sub_type to DISPLAY_SMART_CAMPAIGN.
Set the target_cpa field to a newly created TargetCpa object. Target CPA is the only allowed bidding strategy for this campaign type.

You can also set targeting options for smart display campaign, by following the Add Campaign Targeting Criteria code example. The only campaign-level targeting options allowed are:

Negative ContentLabelInfo criteria
Positive LanguageInfo criteria
Positive or negative LocationInfo criteria
Positive or negative ProximityInfo criteria

Java

private static String createSmartDisplayCampaign(
    GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient, long customerId, String budgetResourceName) {
  // Creates the campaign.

          // Smart Display campaign requires the advertising channel sub type as
          // 'DISPLAY_SMART_CAMPAIGN'.
          .setAdvertisingChannelSubType(AdvertisingChannelSubType.DISPLAY_SMART_CAMPAIGN)
          // Smart Display campaign requires the TargetCpa bidding strategy.
          .setTargetCpa(TargetCpa.newBuilder().setTargetCpaMicros(5_000_000).build())
          .setCampaignBudget(budgetResourceName)
          // Optional: Sets the start and end dates for the campaign, beginning one day from
          // now and ending a month from now.
          .setStartDate(new DateTime().plusDays(1).toString("yyyyMMdd"))
          .setEndDate(new DateTime().plusMonths(1).toString("yyyyMMdd"))
          .build();

  // Creates the operation.
  CampaignOperation operation = CampaignOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(campaign).build();
