How we use the Google Ads API

Who we are

Gravity Stretching is a single physical stretching studio in Canggu, Bali, Indonesia, operated by PT Gravity Stretching Canggu. Clients book group and private classes through our own website, bookgravity.com. We are the advertiser and the sole owner of the Google Ads account the API reads from - we do not build software for third parties and we do not manage other advertisers' accounts.

Business model: a client pays per class or buys a 5-class pack. Our marketing goal is to reach people in the Bali area who are searching for relief from back and neck tension, and invite them to a class.

The same company runs two sites. This one, bookgravity.com, is the booking tool. Our publishing and community site is gravitystretching.world, where we publish research, articles and a public Q&A about back pain, and where the same API usage is described at gravitystretching.world/en/research/google-ads-api. Both sites link to each other and belong to PT Gravity Stretching Canggu, as does our client app on the App Store and Google Play.

What we use the API for

One use case only: keyword search-volume research for our own studio. We call KeywordPlanIdeaService.GenerateKeywordHistoricalMetrics to read the average monthly search volume of a fixed list of health and wellness terms (for example "back pain relief", "stiff lower back", "stretching class"), scoped to the Bali, Indonesia geo-target.

We use those numbers to decide which topics to write about on our website and which classes to promote - a demand-research tool for our own single account. The read runs occasionally from an internal script; it is not a customer-facing product and there is no user interface exposed to anyone outside our studio.

• Account served: our own, single Google Ads account.
• Data read: aggregate keyword search-volume metrics only.
• Frequency: low - periodic manual research, not real-time.
• Services called: KeywordPlanIdeaService (read-only).

What we do NOT do

• We do not access or manage any account other than our own.
• We do not resell, share, or store Google Ads data for others.
• We do not offer an API-powered product or service to clients.
• We do not use the API to create, edit, or manage live campaigns - only to read aggregate keyword search-volume figures.
