Create ad group and ad group ad

This document explains how to create an ad group, and an ad that belongs to an ad group.

Create an ad group

Similar to the Campaign created in previous steps, this ad group requires minimal configuration because it is optimized automatically.

Key requirements for Smart campaign ad groups:

A Smart campaign can have only one ad group.
The type must be set to AdGroupTypeEnum.SMART_CAMPAIGN_ADS .

This example sets the campaign field to the temporary resource name used to create a campaign in earlier steps.

Create an ad group ad

Although a Smart campaign can contain only a single ad group, that ad group can contain multiple ads. Because the ad text for Smart campaigns is selected dynamically, it's possible that the headlines and descriptions from multiple different ads could be combined.

Key requirements for Smart campaign ads:

The type must be set to AdTypeEnum.SMART_CAMPAIGN_AD .

At most three headlines can be provided.

At most two descriptions can be provided.

In this example, we set the ad_group field to the temporary resource name used to create the ad group above.
