Connect Google Hotels Ads and manage campaigns
This guide shows property administrators how to connect a Google Ads account in GraceSoft, approve the manager account request, and create a Google Hotel Ads campaign. Follow the account connection steps before opening Campaign List.
In GraceSoft, open Setup → Add On Features → Google Hotel Ads. The screenshots below use a test property and sample campaign; enter your own Google Ads account and approved campaign settings.
Connect your Google Ads account
1. Enter the account ID
Select Google Hotel Ads. In the Google Hotel Ads Connection window, enter your Google Ads account ID and select Connect. Use the customer ID for the account you intend to link.
