Re: Google Ads API - reports: locations and top impressions rate

[Zweitze]

David,

This is turning into a product question. When campaign managers (I work for 
an agency) here ask the same question, I explain the information is just 
not there. Many ask how they should maintain their fine-grained structure 
for locations or audience, I tell them to ask their Google 
representative(s) to learn about Google's priorities.

I don't think anyone on this forum can answer such questions.

 We have similar problems, in our case (using AdWords API v201809) we 
 cannot access top impression stats in reports AUDIENCE_PERFORMANCE_REPORT 
 and CAMPAIGN_LOCATION_TARGET_REPORT, although they do exist in the web 
 interface of Google Ads.
 On one thing you were wrong, in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT those stats 
 do exist - they are called "AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage" and 
 "TopImpressionPercentage".

 Note I only checked AdWords API, not Ads API nor Ads Scripts.

 In our case, we prepare our users to live without those stats for a 
 while.

Re: Google Ads API - reports: locations and top impressions rate

[David García]

Thanks Zweitze, found it.

But unfortunately that report warns that the average position metric will 
disappear next week and the "Impr. (Top) %" metric, as you say, is not 
available. How does Google think that we can track the performance of the 
targeted locations that we have configured in our campaigns?

That metric (Impr. (Top) %) is available in the Geo Performance Report (via 
UI only, not APIs, any of them!!!) but you can segment only by this 
criteria: country, region, area, city and most specific target location. 
Any of this criteria matches directly the target locations that you might 
have configured in your campaigns, so it is not obvious how to track the 
performance of your campaign target locations.

I can't imagine why Google did this. In my opinion it is a big downgrade in 
geographic performance reporting, which I think is a very important topic. 
The ability to split campaigns in targeted locations becomes useless if you 
can't check the performance of those targeted locations via average 
position or Impr. (Top) % in the Campaigns Location Target Report (whether 
web UI or programatically).

David

 Hi Nikisha,

 Thanks for the feedback.

 However, there are still some critical problems:

 In a few days (30th September) you will remove the average position in 
 the geo reports (and others). It is supposed that it will be replaced with 
 new metrics, like absolute top impression percentage and search absolute 
 top impression share. However, in the link you provide for geo reports via 
 AdWords API, it seems that those new metrics (absolute top impression 
 percentage and search absolute top impression share) are not 
 accesible. I can see them on the web UI but they are not visible via API. 
 Can you confirm that please?

 I thought they could be implemented in the newest Google Ads API but 
 unfortunately you are confirming that that data can not be pulled.

 The point is that in several places you are removing in a few days the 
 average position metric (geo performance, keywords performance) but you 
 are 
 not providing accesors to the new substitutive performance metrics (top 
 impression percentage and search absolute top impression share). Is that 
 true? If so, I think this is a terrible downgrade in your application. 
 During years I have accessed average position in geo and keywords 
 performance reports via Google Ads Scripts. But now, you are removing 
 average position, and the new metrics on geo and keywords performance 
 reports are not accesible neither via Google Ads Scripts (getStatsFor) nor 
 Google Ads API nor AdWords API. What a disaster! Was that on purpose (I 
 can't imagine the reason why) or has it been unintentional?

 Please check this because if average position is removed without access 
 to the new metrics via getStatsFor in Google Ads Scripts (or equivalents 
 in 
 Google Ads API or AdWords API), it could be justified to delay that 
 removal 
 until the new metrics are implemented. Otherwise, you are causing a big

David,

To find the UI-equivalent of CAMPAIGN_LOCATION_TARGET_REPORT:
In Google Ads, the vertical bar starting with Overview, Recommendations 
etc. Item "Locations" is the one.

BTW I just checked, but in the UI nowadays I cannot find column "Impr.

Re: Google Ads API - reports: locations and top impressions rate

[David García]

Hi Zweitze,

Thanks for letting me know that the new metrics were implemented in the 
Keyword Performance Report, I hadn't noticed that. But it seems that the 
Geo Performance Report has the same problems than the Audience Performance 
and Campaign Location Target Report: they show the new metrics on the web 
UI but are not available via API.

By the way, how do you get access to the Campaign Location Target Report in 
the web UI? Which menu option?

Thanks and regards,

David

Re: Google Ads API - reports: locations and top impressions rate

[David García]

Hi Nikisha,

Thanks for the feedback.

Glad to know that AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage and 
SearchAbsoluteTopImpressionShare are implemented in Keyword Performance 
Report. That's good news.

However, they are not implemented in Geo Performance Report, although they 
are implemented in the web UI. That's very unfortunate because average 
position was implemented but alternative metrics are not. That's a really 
downgrade of your data analysis possibilities via API or scripts. I'm sorry 
to know that.

Hope in the near future you can solve that and even implement it in Google 
Ads API.

Regards,

David

Re: Google Ads API - reports: locations and top impressions rate

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hello,

I understand your concern but as per the blog post, the sunset of 
average_position metric will begin with the starting week of September 30, 
2019. The alternative metrics in lieu of average position are mentioned the 
blog post. Currently, these new alternative metrics 
(AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage and SearchAbsoluteTopImpressionShare) will 
support Keyword Performance Report and all the other reports listed in this 
guide against each metrics. Let us know if you have any additional concerns.

I'm sort of in the same boat.
We have similar problems, in our case (using AdWords API v201809) we cannot 
access top impression stats in reports AUDIENCE_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and 
CAMPAIGN_LOCATION_TARGET_REPORT, although they do exist in the web 
interface of Google Ads.
On one thing you were wrong, in KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT those stats do

However, there are still some critical problems:

In a few days (30th September) you will remove the average position in the 
geo reports (and others). It is supposed that it will be replaced with new 
metrics, like absolute top impression percentage and search absolute top 
impression share. However, in the link you provide for geo reports via 
AdWords API, it seems that those new metrics (absolute top impression 
percentage and search absolute top impression share) are not accesible. I 
can see them on the web UI but they are not visible via API. Can you 
confirm that please?

I thought they could be implemented in the newest Google Ads API but 
unfortunately you are confirming that that data can not be pulled.

The point is that in several places you are removing in a few days the 
average position metric (geo performance, keywords performance) but you are 
not providing accesors to the new substitutive performance metrics (top 
impression percentage and search absolute top impression share). Is that 
true? If so, I think this is a terrible downgrade in your application. 
During years I have accessed average position in geo and keywords 
performance reports via Google Ads Scripts. But now, you are removing 
average position, and the new metrics on geo and keywords performance 
reports are not accesible neither via Google Ads Scripts (getStatsFor) nor 
Google Ads API nor AdWords API. What a disaster! Was that on purpose (I 
can't imagine the reason why) or has it been unintentional?

Please check this because if average position is removed without access to 
the new metrics via getStatsFor in Google Ads Scripts (or equivalents in 
Google Ads API or AdWords API), it could be justified to delay that removal 
until the new metrics are implemented. Otherwise, you are causing a big big 
big downgrade on your application.

Hope you can reconsider this.

Thanks,

David

RE: Google Ads API - reports: locations and top impressions rate

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi David,

Thank you for reaching out. Currently, it is not possible to pull the data 
under User locations view on the Dimensions tab in UI via Google Ads API. 
However, you could get this data using Geo Performance Report via Adwords API 
by modifying the predicates as mentioned in the shared guide. Let us know if 
you need any additional information.
