Generate Forecast Metrics

  • The code provides a function to forecast the performance of Google Ads campaigns based on specified keywords and settings.

  • It utilizes the Google Ads API to generate metrics such as estimated daily clicks, impressions, and average cost-per-click (CPC).

  • Advertisers can use these forecasts to optimize campaigns before launch and gain insights into potential performance across various parameters.

  • The code is available in multiple programming languages (Java, C#, PHP, Python, Ruby, Perl) while maintaining consistent functionality.
