Hi esteemed,


I was asked by one of the ACs about the "keyword_view" report
if we can select at a KW level and get the metrics.search_click_share.

I typed in "keyword" in the search box, and got nothing.
I also see no related resource or fields.
But then, why the report's name is "KW_view" ?

Another more general question.
I wanted to verify connecting a search-KW to click_share is feasible.
a) Is is a proper way to try and select this field and metric in data-studio?
b) How come I couldn't find this metric (search_click_share) in DS?

Thanks

Hi Elad,

Thanks for posting your concern. Allow me to provide support here.

For the first part of the concern, if you want to get the keyword text and keyword ID where the value of the metrics.search_click_share is accumulated, then you can include the ad_group_criterion.criterion_id and ad_group_criterion.keyword.text fields.

Moving forward to your question about data studio, I am afraid that this is outside of our scope already as we can only provide support to the concerns related to the Google Ads API / AdWords API. That being said, you may reach out to the more equipped team that can provide support here via this link.

Hi Elad,

Thank you for your questions.


I was asked about the "keyword_view" report
if we can select at a KW level and get the metrics.search_click_share.
I typed in "keyword" in the search box, and got nothing.
I also see no related resource or fields.
But then, why the report's name is "KW_view" ?


The keyword_view specializes in your Google Ads account's keywords, which are then represented by the keyword_view.resource_name field. To retrieve further information on the keyword, you can include the below sample fields in your query for this view / report : As for the metrics.search_click_share, this should be available in the said report. Below is a sample query you can use with all the details I mentioned :

SELECT keyword_view.resource_name, ad_group_criterion.criterion_id, ad_group_criterion.keyword.text, metrics.search_click_share FROM keyword_view

You can also use the Query builder and Query validator to help you construct GAQL queries.


a) Is is a proper way to try and select this field and metric in data-studio?
b) How come I couldn't find this metric (search_click_share) in DS?


Data studio is outside of our API team's scope. You may check with their support team instead, via this link, on what is available.
