Hello Google Ads Support Team,

I am currently working with the Google Ads API and trying to create a Smart 
Campaign using the example provided in 
examples/advanced_operations/add_smart_campaign.py. However, I have 
encountered some issues regarding the bidding strategy settings.

When using the provided example to create a Smart Campaign, I noticed that 
the bidding strategy is not set, which prevents the campaign from running. 
To address this, I attempted to use 
campaign.manual_cpc.enhanced_cpc_enabled = True. While this allowed the 
campaign to be created, the bidding strategy was not as expected. The 
strategy set by the API differed from the one configured manually through 
the Google Ads website.

A standard Smart Campaign should aim to maximize clicks. However, the API 
sets the bidding strategy to Enhanced CPC, which focuses on the 
cost-per-click. This discrepancy is affecting the campaign's performance 
and objectives.

Could you please provide guidance on how to correctly set the bidding 
strategy to maximize clicks when creating a Smart Campaign via the Google 
Ads API? Any detailed instructions or corrections to the example script 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.
