GetKeywordIdeas + Exact Phrase

[Stephen Barrett]

I'm looking at the GetKeywordIdeas example found in the example files and I was wondering how I would get the exact phrase of the keyword I am inputting. In Adwords Keyword Planner, you can see the exact keyword you are planning for at the very top regardless on the competition or avg monthly.  

So I was wondering what I need to add in the attributes to for GetKeywordIdeas to use the exact phrase.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Stephen,

In the GetKeywordIdeas example, the RelatedToQuerySearchParameter is already being passed. This should allow you to retrieve ideas closest to the keyword or phrase you have set as input. However, this will not guarantee that the exact phrase will be returned in the results. Let me know if that is what you're looking for. 

If not, could you provide a screenshot in UI including all the parameters you used and the exact phrase in your result so I could further investigate?

Thanks and regards,

Thanks Luis.

I'm looking for a way to use the exact keyword phrase. For example, if I wanted to use the keyword "Women's Shoes", it will return to me the search volume for "women's shoes" and not women's running shoes". 

Is there another way to do this?

Or is there a way for me to bring in search volume into EstimatedKeywordTraffic

Hi Stephen,

Allow me to provide support as Luis is currently OOO. You could also try and change the RequestType from IDEAS to STATS when you send your TargetingIdeaService request to get the results for the exact phrase you used as input. Let me know if this works for you.

Also, the TrafficEstimatorService does not suppot any search volume or date related fields. What this does is provide estimates on performances of your keywords or other AdWords entities based on historical data. You can check out our estimating traffic guide for more information as to what to pass and the results to expect when using the TrafficEstimatorService. I hope this helps.

Thanks and regards,

I tried using STATS, but it clumped my keywords into one string and gave me a search volume for that string instead of giving me multiple search volumes depending on the keyword.

Does that make sense?

Hi Stephen,

I was able to test on my end using multiple search keyword and also, I used the STATS RequestType and it resulted to each keywords that I search. However, to further investigate this, could you provide the complete SOAP request and response logs when you encountered having only one result of the first keyword search volume whereas you have an array of keyword search? Please also send to me the UI screenshot so I can compare the results from the UI's Keyword Planner as well. Please reply via Reply privately to author.
