Create a Local Ad

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

To create a local ad, you first create a new LocalAdInfo and then assign it to an AdGroupAd. You can create only one local ad in each ad group.

LocalAdInfo lets you reuse assets previously created in your account to set many of its fields, such as:

  • headlines
  • descriptions
  • call_to_actions
  • marketing_images
  • logo_images
  • videos

Refer to LocalAdInfo for specs on texts, images, and videos that can be used to create an asset for each field. For more details about the required assets, see Create a Local campaign.

Code example

Creating the local ad

The following snippet creates a local ad, along with instantiating text, image, and video assets, and then assigning the ad to a new ad group ad.

Java

private void createLocalAd(
    GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient, long customerId, String adGroupResourceName)

                  .addHeadlines(createTextAsset("Best Space Cruise Line"))
                  .addHeadlines(createTextAsset("Experience the Stars"))
