Add campaigns
The best way to set up new campaigns in the API is to use the Add Campaigns code example in the Basic Operationsfolder of your client library. The sample handles all the background authentication tasks for you and walks you through the settings required for establishing a new campaign, including the budget, bidding strategy, campaign type, start & end dates, and more.
Display Expansion on Search campaigns
Display Expansion on Search
campaigns
can help you get
additional conversions on the Google Display Network using unspent Search
budgets at similar cost per conversion as Search. You can enable Display
Expansion on Search campaigns by setting the target_content_network
field of the campaign's network_settings
to true
.
The sample creates a shared CampaignBudget
for use with the new campaign. Check out the campaign budgets guide
for other budget
options.

Campaign groups
You can use the CampaignGroupService
to
create campaign groups
for
tracking the overall performance of multiple campaigns with similar goals.
The first step is to create a campaign group. Next, add the campaigns you want to track to this campaign group. You can pick any combinations of Search, Shopping, Display, or Video campaigns, subject to the following restrictions:
- Each campaign can only belong to one campaign group at a time.
- You can't add campaigns with shared budgets to a campaign group.
