Create a Campaign Budget

The following example creates a new average daily budget for a campaign.

Java

private static String addCampaignBudget(GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient, long customerId) {
  CampaignBudget budget =
      CampaignBudget.newBuilder()
          .setName("Interplanetary Cruise Budget #" + getPrintableDateTime())
          .setDeliveryMethod(BudgetDeliveryMethod.STANDARD)
          .setAmountMicros(500_000)
          .build();

  CampaignBudgetOperation op = CampaignBudgetOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(budget).build();

  try (CampaignBudgetServiceClient campaignBudgetServiceClient =
      googleAdsClient.getLatestVersion().createCampaignBudgetServiceClient()) {
    MutateCampaignBudgetsResponse response =
        campaignBudgetServiceClient.mutateCampaignBudgets(
            Long.toString(customerId), ImmutableList.of(op));
    String budgetResourceName = response.getResults(0).getResourceName();
    System.out.printf("Added budget: %s%n", budgetResourceName);
    return budgetResourceName;
  }
}
      

C#

private static string CreateBudget(GoogleAdsClient client, long customerId)
{
    // Get the BudgetService.
    CampaignBudgetServiceClient budgetService = client.GetService(
        Services.V17.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 });
    return response.Results[0].ResourceName;
}
      

PHP

private static function addCampaignBudget(GoogleAdsClient $googleAdsClient, int $customerId)
{
    // Creates a campaign budget.
    $budget = new CampaignBudget([
        'name' => 'Interplanetary Cruise Budget #' . Helper::getPrintableDatetime(),
        'delivery_method' => BudgetDeliveryMethod::STANDARD,
        'amount_micros' => 500000
    ]);

    // Creates a campaign budget operation.
    $campaignBudgetOperation = new CampaignBudgetOperation();
    $campaignBudgetOperation->setCreate($budget);

    // Issues a mutate request.
    $campaignBudgetServiceClient = $googleAdsClient->getCampaignBudgetServiceClient();
    $response = $campaignBudgetServiceClient->mutateCampaignBudgets(
        MutateCampaignBudgetsRequest::build($customerId, [$campaignBudgetOperation])
    );

    /** @var CampaignBudget $addedBudget */
    $addedBudget = $response->getResults()[0];
    printf("Added budget named '%s'%s", $addedBudget->getResourceName(), PHP_EOL);

    return $addedBudget->getResourceName();
}
      

Python

# Create a budget, which can be shared by multiple campaigns.
campaign_budget_operation = client.get_type("CampaignBudgetOperation")
campaign_budget = campaign_budget_operation.create
campaign_budget.name = f"Interplanetary Budget {uuid.uuid4()}"
campaign_budget.delivery_method = (
    client.enums.BudgetDeliveryMethodEnum.STANDARD
)
campaign_budget.amount_micros = 500000

# Add budget.
try:
    campaign_budget_response = (
        campaign_budget_service.mutate_campaign_budgets(
            customer_id=customer_id, operations=[campaign_budget_operation]
        )
    )
except GoogleAdsException as ex:
    handle_googleads_exception(ex)
      

Ruby

# Create a budget, which can be shared by multiple campaigns.
campaign_budget = client.resource.campaign_budget do |cb|
  cb.name = "Interplanetary Budget #{(Time.new.to_f * 1000).to_i}"
  cb.delivery_method = :STANDARD
  cb.amount_micros = 500000
end

operation = client.operation.create_resource.campaign_budget(campaign_budget)

# Add budget.
return_budget = client.service.campaign_budget.mutate_campaign_budgets(
  customer_id: customer_id,
  operations: [operation],
)
      

Perl

# Create a campaign budget, which can be shared by multiple campaigns.
my $campaign_budget =
  Google::Ads::GoogleAds::V17::Resources::CampaignBudget->new({
    name           => "Interplanetary budget #" . uniqid(),
    deliveryMethod => STANDARD,

Campaign budget recommendations

The Google Ads API provides some recommendation types to help you optimize your campaign budgets:

  • CAMPAIGN_BUDGET suggests a new budget amount for budget-constrained campaigns.

  • MOVE_UNUSED_BUDGET highlights opportunities to reallocate excess budget from one campaign to another budget-constrained campaign.

  • MARGINAL_ROI_CAMPAIGN_BUDGET suggests a new budget amount for campaigns whose ROI is predicted to increase with a budget adjustment.

  • FORECASTING_CAMPAIGN_BUDGET suggests a new budget amount for campaigns that are expected to become budget-constrained in the future.
