TargetingServiceIdea - How to choose "This page only" when searching ideas from URL?

[francisc...@360imprimir.pt]

In Keyword Planner when I enter a URL to retrieve KW ideas, I have 2 options to choose from:

1. Entire site
   
2. This page only
   

If I choose "This page only" KW Planner gives me better (more relevant) ideas related to that specific page.

However Adwords API (in particular the TargetingIdeaService) doesn't seem to have these options - by default the results are shown for "Entire site".

How can I choose "This page only" using Adwords API and the TargetingIdeaService?

Thanks,

Francisco

Hello Francisco,

You could use the includeSubUrls field of the TargettingIdeaService.RelatedToUrlSearchParameter  to adjust keyword planner ideas. If includeSubUrls is set to true you will be getting keyword ideas for the sub-links as well. If includeSubUrls is set to false you will get keyword ideas related to that particular page only, by default it is set to false. Please give it a try and let me know if you are facing any issues. In case you are facing any issues/discrepancies, please get back with SOAP(request and response) of the TargettingIdeaService and the UI screenshots. You could refer this guide to enable logging in Java client library, for client libraries in other languages you could refer this guide. You could use reply privately to author option while sharing them.

Hello,

Thanks for your response. At first I thought that includeSubUrls could do the trick, however I already tried to explicitly set it to False, but the results I'm getting are still wrong. When set to False the results are not from that particular page, but from the entire site as you can see in the screenshots I provided.

For example in KW Planner if I search for this URL:

https://www.360imprimir.com.br/bastao-de-selfie

These are the results when searching for ENTIRE SITE:

And these are the results when searching for THIS PAGE ONLY:

When I call the TargetingServiceIdea for this URL with includeSubUrls = false the results are the same as if I searched in KW Planner for ENTIRE SITE (as you can see in the SOAP Response I sent you in Private Message) and in the output file returned in my call:

So I think the includeSubUrls = false is not working as expected because the service is searching on ENTIRE SITE.

Am I doing anything wrong? Or this API feature is not working properly?

Thanks in advance,

Francisco Valdez

Hello Francisco,

Currently there is no way to get results similar to "The Page Only" that you see in the AdWords UI, via the AdWords API. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello Sai Teja

Is there any plan to support " This Page Only" via the Adwords API in the enar future?

Thanks
