Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

['Anash P. Oommen (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API Forum]

Hi Sebastian,

I'll work on updating the docs, meanwhile here's the behaviour for your 
reference.

1) QS is (still) a number in the range 1-10.
2) Starting v201605, you get -- if there's no quality score information for 
a keyword. HasQualityScore will be set to false in this case.
3) You may get 0 for quality information in some cases, but it is 
equivalent to (2). The keyword has no quality score information, and 
HasQualityScore will be set to false.

You can use the HasQualityScore to interpret this correctly. If 
HasQualityScore = TRUE, then you can interpret the quality score 
information. If the column is false, then no quality score information is 
available. This is covered in our advanced reporting guide 

.

Cheers,
Anash

The documentation is still incorrect.
Looking deeper into this issue I found all the cases that Zweitze 
mentioned. The QS is zero in at least all those cases.
I find it very misleading that the documentations says the value is always 
either "--" or a number in range [1 ; 10]

Thanks for answering Anahs,

"Looks like" doesn't do it for me. I'll mark your answer as the correct one 
once I see it in the docs (here

if that is possible.

Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

['Anash P. Oommen (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API Forum]

Hi Sebastian,

Looks like we don't track quality score for deleted entities, that's why 
those are getting reported as zero. I'll take a look at our guide and 
update it with missing information.

Could you please share one or more (campaign ID, ad group ID, keyword) 
where this is happening? 
I replied to you privately sending a csv report.

Also, have you noticed any instance where the value is zero and the keyword

Not that I know of, but I can't completely discard it could happen.

Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

I have found search keywords with impressions in the last year with QS zero 
across many accounts. However, for all of them one of the following is true:

   - The keyword is removed
   - The adgroup is removed
   - The campaign is removed
   
Can you please confirm this on your side? The fact that if a search keyword 
has QS zero it is because it was removed (at least with v201601.)

Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

['Nadine Sundquist (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API Forum]

Greetings Everyone,

I agree that our documentation is not up-to-date, and we'll work on getting 
that updated soon. Thank you for pointing that out. There have been some 
changes recently, which is why I think there's a bit of confusion. For 
*Display* and *Video* campaigns, a *QualityScore* of 0 is a possibility, 
but 0 shouldn't be coming up for *Search* campaigns. As you noticed in the 
release 
notes , 
we're moving to changing null values to '--' instead of other values, and 
we've been doing that across all the reports. Thanks again for being so 
helpful!

Cheers,
Nadine, AdWords API Team

Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

Thanks for the follow-up, Zweitze. In the case that raised our alarms, one 
of the things you said previously is true: all the keywords with QS zero 
are either removed, or its adgroup/campaign is removed. But this is just 
one account. Unfortunately, the tables derived from our database are not 
including other keywords with QS zero because we were filtering them out 
based on what the documentations says (that lie that QS was always in range 
[1-10].)

Still no answer from Google representatives.

Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

[Zweitze]

I looked into our database and indeed found more keywords with a zero 
qualityscore.
Looking further I found that they all belonged to an campaign with 
advertising channel "Display" or "Video". So, consider filtering on that.

Unfortunately field "advertisingchanneltype" is not available in 
KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT (at least in v201601, which I am using). 
However, that field is available in CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, so you 
should do the filtering on your end.

Is this also the case for you?

Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

[sebastian . lamelas]

@Zweitze:

For safety reasons, the company I work for -which owns the accounts I 
manage- does not share this information. However, I can confirm that the 
keywords we found are real keywords. They are not "magical keywords."

By the way, your feedback is highly appreciated! I've always wondered 
whether it was futile to keep filtering the magical keywords.

And don't worry, I'll post the explanation the AdWords staff give me once 
the issue is solved. (Otherwise, I would not have posted the previous 
report definition.)

Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

[Zweitze]

Could you just post the rows with a zero-quality score here? If necessary 
blank out ExternalCustomerId, which is your customer id (but I don't think 
anyone outside Google can figure out the account name having just this 
customer id.)

Looking at your predicates I bet one of the following is the case:
- The keyword status is removed, or possibly the group it belongs to is 
removed, or the campaign it belongs to is removed.
- The keyword id is 306, and the keyword itself is "AutomaticContent".
- The keyword id is 304, and the keyword itself is "AutomaticKeyword"

About those magical keyword ids: 306 is Dynamic Search Ad. 3004 is 
something that appeared in 2008 through 2010. I collected these number 
through years of reading on this forum (eg. like this 
,
 
note the Google representative doesn't deny the findings)
It's a shame those reserved ids were never properly documented.

If you do figure out what was happening, will you share that with us? I 
don't like the current policy where solutions and explanations are taken to 
private email, and out of this forum.

Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

[sebastian . lamelas]

Quality score of a keyword ranges from 1 to 10. If you are trying to 
extract data using the Keyword Performance Report and the quality score 
information is missing for a keyword, a "--" value might be returned. 

I agree with @Zweitze. This is what the documentation says starting from 
v201605, but I am using v201601. So the documentation is incorrect. *Most 
importantly, if I were to migrate to version v201605, I would have a 
complete mess because this change is not annotated at all in any migration 
guide.*

The report definition I am using is the following:

Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

[Zweitze]

The documentation is incorrect, the field returns the quality score (from 1 
to 10), or 0 in case there is no quality score.
Indeed, some keywords have no quality score, think of display network, 
dynamic search ads, negative keywords and removed keywords.

Note that the behavior changed in v201605, from that version on you get 
"--" instead of 0. But you reference documentation of v201601, so I assume 
you are using that version.

Hope this helps.

Re: QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

['Vishal Vinayak (Adwords API Team)' via AdWords API Forum]

Hi Sebastian,

That is correct, indeed. Quality score of a keyword ranges from 1 to 10. If 
you are trying to extract data using the Keyword Performance Report and the 
quality score information is missing for a keyword, a "--" value might be 
returned. 

To debug further, could you please provide me with the report definition 
for the API call? Please click on *Reply privately to author *when 
responding.  

Regards,
Vishal, AdWords API Team

QualityScore Field in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is zero

[sebastian . lamelas]

Hello AdWords,


According to this page 
,
 
the QualityScore field returns an integer in the range [1-10]. But this is 
not always true. I am getting the value 0 for some keywords.


I would like to know what this value means and whether it will change in 
the future -so it is compliant with the documented values- or not.


Thanks!

seb.
