Hi, A budget can be set at the campaign level only i.e. you cannot set a budget for an ad group or an ad. Please refer to this guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/budgets> for getting started with setting budgets via AdWords API. Regarding ad creation, I would recommend this guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/ad-features>, which has details regarding types of the ads and the list of extensions available. I'm suggesting that because if you are planning to target a certain type of customer, some of the ad extensions might be helpful. Unfortunately, I do not have additional suggestions regarding optimizing/simplifying the current product hierarchy but you can go through our Best Practices guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bestpractices> for general API optimizations.
