How can I bid for keywords with googleads-php-lib?

[Dmitry]

Using ReportDefinition (KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT) I get FirstPageCpc and keywordId

            $selector = new Selector();
            $selector->setFields(["Id", "AdGroupId", "AdGroupName", "Criteria", "AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage", "Impressions", "Ctr", "AveragePosition", "FirstPositionCpc", "TopOfPageCpc", "FirstPageCpc"]);
           
            // Create report definition.
            $reportDefinition = new ReportDefinition();
            $reportDefinition->setSelector($selector);
            $reportDefinition->setReportName(
                'Criteria performance report #' . uniqid()
            );
            $reportDefinition->setDateRangeType(
                ReportDefinitionDateRangeType::LAST_7_DAYS
            );
            $reportDefinition->setReportType(
                ReportDefinitionReportType::KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
            );
            $reportDefinition->setDownloadFormat(DownloadFormat::CSV);

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for reaching out.

Could you confirm if my understanding is correct that you would like to know how to set your bid on your CpcBid based on the value you retrieved from the FirstPageCpc field? If this is what you meant, you may use the AdGroupCriterionService.mutate() or AdGroupService.mutate() to set the bid on a criterion level or ad group level respectively. You must set the bid of the BiddingStrategyConfiguration to CpcBid. You may refer to this guide for more details and samples.

Does this set the bet on the Ad Group (by AdGroupId)? I need to bet on every keyword by keywordID. Can I do that?

Hi Dmitry,

Yes, the AdGroupService.mutate() sets bid on an ad group level. You can also set bids on keywords individually using the AdGroupCriterionService.mutate(). You can refer to this sample code (also available in different languages) on how to add keywords with bids.

I was able to add a new keyword with a new bet to the group.

$keyword = new Keyword();
$keyword->setText('TEST WORD');
$keyword->setMatchType(KeywordMatchType::BROAD);

But how do I change the bet of an existing keyword by knowing keywordID?

It does not work:

$keywordID = 1234567890;
$keyword = new Keyword($keywordID);

Problem resolved, I changed

$operation- >setOperator (Operator: ADD);

=>

$operation- >setOperator (Operator: SET);

Thx.
