Video: Check out the Hotel Ads reporting talk from the 2019 workshop
With the Google Ads API, you can design queries to get the Hotel Ads reports you need. You can then incorporate these queries into your client applications.
Prerequisites
Basic queries for Hotel Ads
Check out these example queries to get familiar with using the Google Ads API for Hotel Ads reporting.
Get clicks metrics
The following example query returns the number of clicks from the hotel performance view.
SELECT metrics.clicks
FROM hotel_performance_view
The results from the query would look something like this:
{
"results": [
{
"metrics": {
"clicks": "78090"
},
"hotelPerformanceView": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/hotelPerformanceView"
}
}
],
"totalResultsCount": "1",
"fieldMask": "metrics.clicks"
}
Get segmented clicks metrics
The following example query for hotel performance views gets clicks and segments the results by Hotel ID.
SELECT
segments.partner_hotel_id,
metrics.clicks
FROM hotel_performance_view
The results from the query would look something like the following JSON string.
The clicks are segmented by partnerHotelID
and thus two or more objects can be
returned for the same hotelPerformanceView.
{
"results": [
{
"metrics": {
"clicks": "7055"
},
"hotelPerformanceView": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/hotelPerformanceView"
},
"segments": {
"partnerHotelId": "1111"
}
},
{
"metrics": {
"clicks": "3047"
},
"hotelPerformanceView": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/hotelPerformanceView"
},
"segments": {
"partnerHotelId": "1112"
}
},
...
]
}
Get ad group metrics
The following example query for ad groups gets impressions and clicks over the last 30 days, segmented by date.
SELECT
campaign.name,
campaign.status,
ad_group.name,
segments.date,
metrics.impressions,
metrics.clicks
FROM ad_group
WHERE ad_group.type = HOTEL_ADS
AND segments.date DURING LAST_30_DAYS
The results from the query would look something like the following JSON string.
The response is filtered for only the metrics meeting the WHERE
clause
conditions. The date field is populated by the last date included in the 30 day
period.
{
"results": [
{
"campaign": {
"resourceName": "customers/123456789/campaigns/23456789",
"name": "test campaign",
"status": "ENABLED"
},
"adGroup": {
"resourceName": "customers/123456789/adGroups/11111111",
"name": "test adgroup"
},
"metrics": {
"clicks": "91",
"impressions": "5145"
},
"segments": {
"date": "2020-05-10"
}
}
]
}
Get enabled ad group ads
The following example query for ad group ads gets the ad groups that will serve. For any ad group to serve, the ad group ad, the ad group, and the campaign must all be enabled.
SELECT
ad_group.id,
ad_group.name,
ad_group.status,
campaign.name,
campaign.status,
ad_group_ad.status
FROM ad_group_ad
WHERE ad_group_ad.status = ENABLED
AND campaign.status = ENABLED
AND ad_group.status = ENABLED
The results from the query would look something like the following JSON string.
{
"results": [
{
"campaign": {
"resourceName": "customers/123456789/campaigns/23456789",
"name": "test campaign",
"status": "ENABLED"
},
"adGroup": {
"resourceName": "customers/123456789/adGroups/111111111111",
"id": "106121857411",
"name": "test adgroup",
"status": "ENABLED"
},
"adGroupAd": {
"resourceName": "customers/123456789/adGroupAds/111111111111~33333333333",
"status": "ENABLED",
"ad": {
"resourceName": "customers/123456789/ads/77777777777"
}
}
}
]
}
Useful views for Hotel Ads reporting
In prior APIs for Hotel Ads reporting, you could retrieve a specific report,
such as a performance report. In the Google Ads API, this kind of data is
represented in separate *_view
resources, such as hotel_performance_view
and
hotel_group_view
. This section describes the *_view
resources that are
useful for Hotel Ads reporting. Example queries are also provided.
Note that each *_view
resource has specific resource fields, segments, and
metrics. Consult the documentation for the specific *_view
resource before
constructing your query.
Hotel Group View
The Hotel Group View is a criteria view, so it's useful for retrieving metrics for a specific criteria type of a hotel group.
The following example query for hotel group views gets clicks for each hotel in a listing group for the entire hotel listing group tree, including the root node ("All hotels").
SELECT
metrics.clicks,
ad_group_criterion.listing_group.case_value.hotel_id.value
FROM hotel_group_view
The results from the query would look something like the following JSON string.
Given that case_value
is undefined for the root node ("All hotels"), it's
apparent that the first row represents the metrics for the "All hotels" listing
group, while the second row represents the metrics for the child listing group
representing "Other".
{
"results": [
{
"metrics": {
"clicks": "5"
},
"adGroupCriterion": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/adGroupCriteria/22222222222~111111111111"
},
"hotelGroupView": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/hotelGroupViews/22222222222~111111111111"
}
},
{
"metrics": {
"clicks": "0"
},
"adGroupCriterion": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/adGroupCriteria/22222222222~111111111112"
"listingGroup": {
"caseValue": {
"hotelId": {
}
}
}
},
"hotelGroupView": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/hotelGroupViews/22222222222~111111111112"
}
},
{
"metrics": {
"clicks": "3"
},
"adGroupCriterion": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/adGroupCriteria/22222222222~111111111113"
"listingGroup": {
"caseValue": {
"hotelId": {
"value": "11111111111111111"
}
}
}
}
},
"hotelGroupView": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/hotelGroupViews/22222222222~111111111113"
}
},
{
"metrics": {
"clicks": "2"
},
"adGroupCriterion": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/adGroupCriteria/22222222222~111111111114"
"listingGroup": {
"caseValue": {
"hotelId": {
"value": "11111111111111112"
}
}
}
}
},
"hotelGroupView": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/hotelGroupViews/22222222222~111111111114"
}
},
]
}
Hotel Performance View
The Hotel Performance View is useful if you want to retrieve performance metrics for a hotel using data that does not come from a hotel grouping, even if you have a subdivision based on Hotel ID.
The following example query for hotel performance views gets clicks and segments the results by Hotel ID.
SELECT
segments.partner_hotel_id,
metrics.clicks
FROM hotel_performance_view
The results from the query would look something like the following JSON string.
The clicks are segmented by partner_hotel_id
and thus two or more objects can
be returned for the same hotel performance view.
{
"results": [
{
"metrics": {
"clicks": "7055"
},
"hotelPerformanceView": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/hotelPerformanceView"
},
"segments": {
"partnerHotelId": "1111"
}
},
{
"metrics": {
"clicks": "3047"
},
"hotelPerformanceView": {
"resourceName": "customers/1234567890/hotelPerformanceView"
},
"segments": {
"partnerHotelId": "1112"
}
},
...
]
}
Ad Group Audience View
The Ad Group Audience View is useful if you want to retrieve performance metrics for audiences attached at the ad group level.
Note that this is a general view for various types of campaigns, not just hotel
campaigns. This view also provides the ability to segment results by
hotel_date_selection_type
, which can be used to specify whether the hotel date
was selected by the user or was a default date for the search set by Google. If
you segment by hotel_date_selection_type
, only results for hotel campaigns are
returned.
The following query returns one row per
ad_group_criterion.user_list.user_list
.
SELECT
ad_group.id,
campaign.id,
ad_group_criterion.user_list.user_list,
segments.device,
segments.hotel_date_selection_type,
metrics.impressions,
metrics.clicks,
metrics.cost_micros,
metrics.conversions,
metrics.all_conversions_value
FROM ad_group_audience_view
The results from the query would look something like the following JSON string.
{
"results": [
{
"campaign": {
"resourceName": "customers/123456789/campaigns/23456789",
"id": "23456789"
},
"metrics": {
"clicks": "0",
"conversions": "0",
"costMicros": "0",
"impressions": "3",
"allConversionsValue": "0"
},
"adGroupCriterion": {
"resourceName": "customers/123456789/adGroupCriteria/23456789~789456",
"userList": {
"userList": "customers/123456789/userLists/456789"
}
},
"adGroupAudienceView": {
"resourceName": "customers/8005193609/adGroupAudienceViews/23456789~789456"
},
"segments": {
"device": "TABLET",
"hotelDateSelectionType": "USER_SELECTED"
}
}
]
}
Campaign Audience View
The Campaign Audience View is useful if you want to retrieve performance metrics for audiences attached at the campaign level.
Note that this is a general view for various types of campaigns, not just hotel
campaigns. This view also provides the ability to segment results by
hotel_date_selection_type
, which can be used to specify whether the hotel date
was selected by the user or was a default date for the search set by Google. If
you segment by hotel_date_selection_type
, only results for hotel campaigns are
returned.
The following query returns one row per
campaign_criterion.user_list.user_list
.
SELECT
campaign.id,
campaign_criterion.user_list.user_list,
segments.device,
segments.hotel_date_selection_type,
metrics.impressions,
metrics.clicks,
metrics.cost_micros,
metrics.conversions,
metrics.all_conversions_value
FROM campaign_audience_view
The results from the query would look something like the following JSON string.
{
"results": [
{
"campaign": {
"resourceName": "customers/123456789/campaigns/23456789",
"id": "23456789"
},
"metrics": {
"clicks": "0",
"conversions": "0",
"costMicros": "0",
"impressions": "3",
"allConversionsValue": "0"
},
"campaignCriterion": {
"resourceName": "customers/123456789/campaignCriteria/23456789~789456",
"userList": {
"userList": "customers/123456789/userLists/456789"
}
},
"campaignAudienceView": {
"resourceName": "customers/8005193609/campaignAudienceViews/23456789~789456"
},
"segments": {
"device": "TABLET",
"hotelDateSelectionType": "USER_SELECTED"
}
}
]
}
Useful reports for Hotel Ads
This section provides several useful reports designed specifically for Hotel ads.
Performance reports
These queries make use of the Hotel Performance View to get performance data.
A hotel_performance_view
lets you use the campaign
resource to segment
metrics. For example, you can use the campaign.id
field to get performance
metrics by campaign.
