Creating a Hotel Campaign

The first step in implementing Hotel Ads is creating a Hotel campaign. In creating a Hotel campaign, you set its budget, bidding strategy, and Hotel Ads Center account ID.

Here are the steps in setting up a Hotel campaign:

1. Set the campaign's advertising_channel_type to HOTEL.
2. Create a HotelSettingInfo, setting its hotel_center_id, and then add it to the campaign.
3. Create a PercentCpc bidding strategy for the campaign. For details on bidding strategies and setting bids, see Bidding Overview.

These steps are demonstrated in the following code.

Note: The setting hotel_center_id is described in the prerequisites.

Java

private void runExample(
    GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient,
    long customerId,
    long hotelCenterAccountId,
    long cpcBidCeilingMicroAmount) {

  // Creates a budget to be used by the campaign that will be created below.
  String budgetResourceName = addCampaignBudget(googleAdsClient, customerId);

  // Creates a hotel campaign.
  String campaignResourceName =
      addHotelCampaign(
          googleAdsClient,
          customerId,
          budgetResourceName,
          hotelCenterAccountId,
          cpcBidCeilingMicroAmount);

  // Creates a hotel ad group.
  String adGroupResourceName = addHotelAdGroup(googleAdsClient, customerId, campaignResourceName);

  // Creates a hotel ad group ad.
  addHotelAdGroupAd(googleAdsClient, customerId, adGroupResourceName);
}
AddHotelAd.java
      

C#

public void Run(GoogleAdsClient client, long customerId, long hotelCenterAccountId,
    long cpcBidCeilingMicroAmount)
{
    try
    {
        // Create a budget to be used by the campaign that will be created below.
        string budgetResourceName = AddCampaignBudget(client, customerId);

        // Create a hotel campaign.
        string campaignResourceName = AddHotelCampaign(client, customerId,
            budgetResourceName, hotelCenterAccountId, cpcBidCeilingMicroAmount);

        // Create a hotel ad group.
        string adGroupResourceName = AddHotelAdGroup(client, customerId,
            campaignResourceName);

        // Create a hotel ad group ad.
        AddHotelAdGroupAd(client, customerId, adGroupResourceName);
    }
    catch (GoogleAdsException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failure:");
        Console.WriteLine($"Message: {e.Message}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Failure: {e.Failure}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Request ID: {e.RequestId}");
        throw;
    }
