Google AdWords API Tool

Google AdWords API Tool has been created for an online shop Conrad.pl, which is a Polish branch of the biggest European distributor of electronics and technology. The application allows to generate adverts for more than 100 000 products offered by Conrad and to manage them automatically via AdWords API through a dedicated web interface.

Specific features of the service

Usually the optimal way of promoting eCommerce products through Google AdWords is the long tail keyword strategy. It ensures a higher conversion from clicks, meaning more sales, concurrently with lower costs of single ads (lower CPC). The strategy entails a necessity of creating unique adverts and keywords for thousands of products of different categories available in the shop assortment. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to efficiently manage such a huge number of adverts and constantly modify their keywords directly in AdWords or even by using AdWords Editor, especially if we need the adverts to always include updated prizes. So here is where the Google AdWords API Tool comes. It maximally simplifies the entire process of the mass campaigns management.

Smart algorithms optimise campaigns in a quick and precise way and are never wrong.

The easy management of bulk campaigns is possible thanks to an intelligent automation of selected functions, ranging from generating millions of ad texts and even up to 2 millions of unique keywords, permanent actualization of the adverts content and status, through the auto-creation of the whole account structure (by breaking it down to campaigns, ad groups and single adverts). Moreover, the application is integrated with AdWords account in a manner that ensures a precedence of any changes made by the SEM Specialist in Google AdWords. It means that no manual settings can be overwritten by the automatic actions taken by the program. Another Google AdWords API Tool’s feature that greatly optimize an advertiser’s spending is capability to stop the campaign automatically, as soon as the product is out of stock or unavailable.

Functional and graphic design

The interface of AdWords API Tool is similar to the standard AdWords account interface, but it additionally allows to monitor the process of the automatic ads generation and actualization.

Owing to the extra filter features that the ads listings have been equipped with, managing and monitoring ad campaigns is much easier and more effective.

Technicalities

The application has been developed in PHP with the use of the Symfony 2 framework and additional bundles, such as Sonata. The information about store’s products is downloaded on daily basis from CSV files. Our tool communicates with AdWords via up-to-date version of API by using Google Libraries for PHP.
