Performance Max for travel goals

Performance Max for travel goals campaigns let you create ads for hotel properties that serve across Google channels such as Search, Display, Video, and Discover. Benefits also include automatic budget allocation across channels, final URL expansion, increased ad coverage on Search, and suggestions for assets to be created as an asset group for each hotel property.

Unlike Hotel Ads, you don't need to have access to a Hotel Center account in order to use Performance Max for travel goals.

Create a Performance Max for travel goals campaign

The steps for creating a Performance Max for travel goals campaign are as follows:

  1. Create an asset set, assets for all your hotel properties, and asset set assets to link the created asset set and assets.
  2. (Recommended) Get suggested assets that you can use to create an asset group.
  3. Create a Performance Max campaign using the asset set and the suggested assets.

Create asset entities for your hotel properties

  1. Create a hotel property asset set of type HOTEL_PROPERTY by setting AssetSet.type to AssetSetType.HOTEL_PROPERTY. You'll use the resource name of the created asset set in the later steps.

    Java

    private String createHotelAssetSet(GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient, long customerId) {
      // Creates an asset set operation for a hotel property asset set.
      AssetSetOperation assetSetOperation =
          AssetSetOperation.newBuilder()
              .setCreate(
                  AssetSet.newBuilder()
                      .setName(
                          "My Hotel propery asset set #" + CodeSampleHelper.getPrintableDateTime())
                      .setType(AssetSetType.HOTEL_PROPERTY))
              .build();
      try (AssetSetServiceClient assetSetServiceClient =
          googleAdsClient.getLatestVersion().createAssetSetServiceClient()) {
        MutateAssetSetsResponse mutateAssetSetsResponse =
            assetSetServiceClient.mutateAssetSets(
                Long.toString(customerId), ImmutableList.of(assetSetOperation));
        String assetSetResourceName = mutateAssetSetsResponse.getResults(0).getResourceName();
        System.out.printf("Created an asset set with resource name: '%s'%n", assetSetResourceName);
        return assetSetResourceName;
      }
    }
          

    C#

    private string CreateHotelAssetSet(GoogleAdsClient client, long customerId)
    {
        AssetSetOperation operation = new AssetSetOperation()
        {
            Create = new AssetSet {
                Name = "My Hotel property asset set #" + ExampleUtilities.GetRandomString(),
                Type = AssetSetType.HotelProperty
            }
        };
    
        AssetSetServiceClient assetSetService = client.GetService(Services.V16.AssetSetService);
    
        MutateAssetSetsResponse response = assetSetService.MutateAssetSets(
            customerId.ToString(),
            new List<AssetSetOperation> { operation }
        );
    
        string assetResourceName = response.Results[0].ResourceName;

  2. For each of your hotel properties, do the following:

    1. Create an asset by setting Asset.hotel_property_asset to an object of HotelPropertyAsset.

      For simplicity, our code example creates only one hotel property asset.

    2. Set place_id of the created HotelPropertyAsset object to the place ID of the hotel property. The place ID is a unique ID that identifies a place on Google Maps. You can look up your property with the place ID finder.

    3. Create an asset set asset to link the above asset set with the asset by creating a new AssetSetAsset and setting its asset_set to the resource name of the created asset set and asset to the resource name of the created hotel property asset.

Get suggested assets that you can use to create an asset group

You can use TravelAssetSugestionService.SuggestTravelAssets to get suggested assets for your hotel properties. Once you get the suggestions, you can use them to create assets in the asset group in the next step.

Caveats

  • This method works on a best-effort basis, so you might not get any suggestions.
  • The service might not return all the required assets you need to create an asset group. In that case, create your own assets to fulfill the requirements.

Create a Performance Max campaign using the asset set and the suggested assets

Since this is a subtype of a Performance Max campaign, it has basic Performance Max requirements and restrictions, such as minimum asset requirements and the requirement that its campaign budget cannot be shared.

In general, you can follow most of the steps to create a Performance Max campaign. The differences worth noting are the following:

  • When creating a campaign, you need to also specify the Campaign.hotel_property_asset_set to the resource name of the asset set created in the first step.

    Java

    private MutateOperation createCampaignOperation(

  • Instead of creating an asset group from scratch, you can now use the suggestion from TravelAssetSugestionService.SuggestTravelAssets when creating the asset group. You need to add more assets to fulfill the minimum asset requirements of Performance Max if the suggested assets are not enough.

  • You need to link all the hotel property assets to the asset group you create to experience Performance Max for travel goals. Without these links, the campaign will be a regular Performance Max campaign.
