Re: Bug with Search Query and Close Variants

2022-07-14 Thread 'Google Ads API Forum Advisor' via Google Ads API and AdWords API Forum
Hi Mehmet,

Thanks for getting back to us.

The list of close variant queries for search_query whose search results are 
combined into the search_query, and this is why the search_query takes the 
first keyword. However, regarding Ads UI, product support is appropriate to 
comment on this behavior.

As mentioned in our provided API document, we de-dupe your keywords list, 
eliminating close variants before returning the plan's keywords as text, and 
the list of de-duped queries will be included in close_variants field.

Also, as a side note on API vs UI behavior, you may refer to this guide.

Regards,

Yasar

Bug with Search Query and Close Variants

2022-07-13 Thread Mehmet Kocak
Hey together,

I have a bug with the KeywordPlanKeywordHistoricalMetrics.
The "Main Keyword" which should be expected in the Search Query is in the 
Close Variants variable and not in the search_query variable. I Test this 
with different Languages and sometimes the API takes the "close variant" 
Keyword in the "search_query". And sometimes its clustering the Keywords 
wrong. Here are some examples that the APIs returns me.


*search_query*|*Close Variants* 
l*ights for the garden*|   ['garden lights', 'garden lighting'] 
*lights on the wall *   |   ['wall lights', 'wall lighting'] 
*table lamps*|   ['table lamp', 'lamp tables', 'table lampshades', 'tab 
lamp']


The Main keyword (search_query) should be the one with the most impressions 
am i right? So for example "wall lights" has more impressions then "*lights 
on the wall". *
So Normally the "wall lights" should be the search query and the "lights on 
the wall" keyword should be a close variant.
API: 
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanKeywordHistoricalMetrics

The same applies on the Google Ads UI.
example:

[image: w2.PNG]


It shows me always the first Keyword as the "Main Keyword" and I think the 
API works with the same Algorithm. But this should Keywords should be 
compared by Impressions and the one with the most should be the Main one. 
Is that right or did i dont get it?

Best Regards,
Mehmet
