How to configure your Google Hotel Price Ads Export

Google Hotel Price Ads export enables you to advertise your hotels and vacancies on Google. Please signup for Hotel Ads here

Since Google expects latest availability data here, the setup here is a bit different than usual.

You will need to setup three sites, one that contains your hotel data, one that contains your room information (metadata) and one that contains your availabilities.

Once you are done with the setup, we create an API endpoint for you, where Google can look up your availabilities.

Add a new site where you import your hotel data.

Add Google Hotel Ads - Hotel List Feed as an export template in Exports by clicking on the Add Export button in the top right corner and filtering for Google Hotel.

After creating the three exports, please contact your Productsup Support, so we can create an API endpoint for Google.

Room Capacity and Occupancy In the room bundle response, the default occupancy of all rooms defined is recognised as 2, by Google. However, if you define the capacity as 1, you need to explicitly set the occupancy as 1, otherwise Google will flag the room bundle as invalid. Though not required, it is strongly recommended that the capacity and occupancy are added to each room bundle for the Room and Availabilities export.

Hotel List Feed It takes Google up to a week to process any new hotels sent via the hotel list feed, after the initial onboarding period.
