Add Ad Groups

  • The provided code examples demonstrate how to add ad groups to a campaign using the Google Ads API in Java, C#, PHP, Python, and Ruby.

  • Each example constructs one or more AdGroup objects with properties like name, status, campaign, type, and CPC bid.

  • An AdGroupOperation is created for each AdGroup, typically setting the create field with the AdGroup object.

  • The examples then use the respective language's GoogleAdsClient and AdGroupServiceClient to perform a mutateAdGroups operation, sending the list of operations to add the ad groups.

  • The response from the mutate operation indicates the resource names of the successfully created ad groups.
