Not generating keyword ideas for some keywords.

[Mouhssine EL Qacimy]

Hi,

I am generating keyword ideas using api. But for some keywords it does not give ideas and return null.
For example if i try to generate keyword ideas for keyword= "grow light" it does not give me any keyword ideas. What is the reason?

Here is my code.

$targetingIdeaService =$adWordsServices->get($session, TargetingIdeaService::class);
        // Create selector.
        $selector = new TargetingIdeaSelector();
        $selector->setRequestType(RequestType::IDEAS);
        $selector->setIdeaType(IdeaType::KEYWORD);
        //$selector->setOrdering([new OrderBy(AttributeType::SEARCH_VOLUME, SortOrder::DESCENDING)]);

        $selector->setRequestedAttributeTypes([
            AttributeType::KEYWORD_TEXT,
            AttributeType::SEARCH_VOLUME,
            AttributeType::AVERAGE_CPC,
            AttributeType::COMPETITION,
            AttributeType::CATEGORY_PRODUCTS_AND_SERVICES
        ]);
        $paging = new Paging();
        $paging->setStartIndex(0);
        $paging->setNumberResults(10);
        $selector->setPaging($paging);
        $searchParameters = [];

$languageParameter = new LanguageSearchParameter();
        $english = new Language();
        $english->setId(1000);
        $languageParameter->setLanguages([$english]);
        $searchParameters[] = $languageParameter;

        // Create network search parameter (optional).
        $networkSetting = new NetworkSetting();
        $networkSetting->setTargetGoogleSearch(true);
        $networkSetting->setTargetSearchNetwork(false);
        $networkSetting->setTargetContentNetwork(false);
        $networkSetting->setTargetPartnerSearchNetwork(false);

        $networkSearchParameter = new NetworkSearchParameter();
        $networkSearchParameter->setNetworkSetting($networkSetting);
        $searchParameters[] = $networkSearchParameter;
        $selector->setSearchParameters($searchParameters);
        $selector->setPaging(new Paging(0, $this->KeywordsIdeaLimit));

        // Get keyword ideas.
        $page = $targetingIdeaService->get($selector);

        // Print out some information for each targeting idea.
        $entries = $page->getEntries();

Hi Mouhssine,

To further investigate this, could you provide the complete SOAP request and response log and reply to me via Reply privately to author? Also, could you provide a UI screenshot of keyword planner for me to compare the results both in UI and API?

Thanks and regards,

Luis

Hi Mouhssine,

Since the issue is you cannot retrieve keyword ideas for the said keywords in both AdWords UI and API, this would be a product level concern. I would suggest to post this in the AdWords Community Forum as they are better equipped to assist you in this matter.
