Hi, it seems like the location isn't being accounted for when estimating traffic.
I've been testing this code, https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/master/examples/AdWords/v201708/Optimization/EstimateKeywordTraffic.php, exactly (apart from changing the location id and echo'ing it out and using my own ini file). | location id: 2840 (USA) -- | -- | | Results for the platform with ID 30000 and name 'Desktop': | Estimated average CPC: 805686.00 | Estimated ad position: 4.47 | Estimated daily clicks: 151.93 | Estimated daily cost: 121466368.00 | | Results for the platform with ID 30001 and name 'Mobile': | Estimated average CPC: 687972.00 | Estimated ad position: 3.29 | Estimated daily clicks: 607.32 | Estimated daily cost: 414612608.00 | | Results for the platform with ID 30002 and name 'Tablet': | Estimated average CPC: 805338.00 | Estimated ad position: 3.84 | Estimated daily clicks: 116.32 | Estimated daily cost: 92955896.00 | | Results for the keyword with text 'mars cruise' and match type 'BROAD': | Estimated average CPC: 315898.00 | Estimated ad position: 1.06 | Estimated daily clicks: 0.02 | Estimated daily cost: 5694.00 | | Results for the keyword with text 'cheap cruise' and match type 'PHRASE': | Estimated average CPC: 736021.00 | Estimated ad position: 4.27 | Estimated daily clicks: 158.41 | Estimated daily cost: 115699104.00 | | Results for the keyword with text 'cruise' and match type 'EXACT': | Estimated average CPC: 721342.00 | Estimated ad position: 3.62 | Estimated daily clicks: 717.14 | Estimated daily cost: 513330080.00 location id: 1014485 (Denver) -- | | Results for the platform with ID 30000 and name 'Desktop': | Estimated average CPC: 805896.00 | Estimated ad position: 4.46 | Estimated daily clicks: 153.78 | Estimated daily cost: 122980812.00 | | Results for the platform with ID 30001 and name 'Mobile': | Estimated average CPC: 689388.00 | Estimated ad position: 3.27 | Estimated daily clicks: 610.89 | Estimated daily cost: 417908704.00 | | Results for the platform with ID 30002 and name 'Tablet': | Estimated average CPC: 806074.00 | Estimated ad position: 3.82 | Estimated daily clicks: 117.41 | Estimated daily cost: 93914592.00 | | Results for the keyword with text 'mars cruise' and match type 'BROAD': | Estimated average CPC: 315900.00 | Estimated ad position: 1.06 | Estimated daily clicks: 0.02 | Estimated daily cost: 5739.00 | | Results for the keyword with text 'cheap cruise' and match type 'PHRASE': | Estimated average CPC: 738061.00 | Estimated ad position: 4.25 | Estimated daily clicks: 160.06 | Estimated daily cost: 117224744.00 | | Results for the keyword with text 'cruise' and match type 'EXACT': | Estimated average CPC: 722398.00 | Estimated ad position: 3.61 | Estimated daily clicks: 722.01 | Estimated daily cost: 517573632.00 Notice, for example, that the "Estimated daily clicks" for "EXACT" "cruise" is 717.14 for the USA and 722.01 for Denver. Shouldn't the numbers vary more than that?
