How to get keyword serach volume using Adwords API?

[suga priya]

Can anyone please let me know the steps to get search volume of keywords in php?


Thanks,
Sugappriya

Hi Sugappriya,

There are several code examples in the PHP client library that demonstrate how to do this for various use cases.

• EstimateKeywordTraffic.php - predict upcoming performance for keywords
  
• GetKeywordIdeas.php - view past performance for new keyword ideas
  

If instead you are interested in viewing the performance of keywords that are already in your account, you could use the Keywords Performance Report.  See the DownloadCriteriaReport.php code sample for how to run reports.  You will have to modify that sample slightly so that it runs the Keywords Performance Report, but the changes should be fairly self-explanatory.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the information.I am gonna start using Adwords API in couple of days. Before that i would like confirm with you we can able to get search volume through API instead of getting through keyword planner manually.

Thanks,
Sugappriya

Hi Sugappriya,

Yes - the TargetingIdeaService mirrors the functionality of the Keyword Planner tool.  The GetKeywordIdeas.php example I mentioned in my previous post shows how to use this service.

Thank you.Can we try with test account i having pending approval developer token

[sugar...@gmail.com]

I cant setup billing preferences if i select India region.Can you help me?

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi,

As mentioned in this section of the Test Accounts Guide, TargetingIdeaService returns dummy data for test accounts, so you can use your test account to verify your code works, but the actual data returned won't be very meaningful.

If you have an issue with your MCC billing and terms & conditions setup please use this form to get in touch with the appropriate team.

I am trying to get avg monthly search value for the given keyword.But its not giving same result as keyword planner tool.

require_once dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/init.php';
$user = new AdWordsUser();
// Log every SOAP XML request and response.
$user->LogAll();
$adwords_version = ADWORDS_VERSION;
$keyword = "lease-accounting";
$values = GetTargetingIdea($user, $adwords_version, $keyword);
print_r($values);
function GetTargetingIdea(AdwordsUser $user, $adwords_version, $keyword)
{
    // Load the service, so that the required classes are available.
    $targetingIdeaService = $user->GetTargetingIdeaService($adwords_version);
   
    $languageParameter = new LanguageSearchParameter();
    $english = new Language();
    $english->id = 1000;
    $languageParameter->languages = array($english);
   
    // Create selector.
    $selector = new TargetingIdeaSelector();
    $selector->requestType = "STATS";
    $selector->ideaType = 'KEYWORD';
    $selector->requestedAttributeTypes = array('KEYWORD_TEXT','SEARCH_VOLUME');
     
    $locationTargetParameter = new LocationSearchParameter();
    $location = new location();
    $location->id = 2840;
    $locationTargetParameter->locations = $location;
     
    $relatedToQuerySearchParameter = new RelatedToQuerySearchParameter();

    // Create paging controls.
    $selector->paging = new Paging(0, AdWordsConstants::RECOMMENDED_PAGE_SIZE);
    $ret = array();
    do {
        // Make the get request.
        $page = $targetingIdeaService->get($selector);
 
        // Display results.
        if (isset($page->entries))
        {
            foreach ($page->entries as $adGroupAd)
            {
                $ret[] = array(
                    'keyword text' => $adGroupAd->data[0]->value->value,
                    'searchvolume' => $adGroupAd->data[1]->value->value,
                   
                   
                );
            }
        }
        // Advance the paging index.
        $selector->paging->startIndex += AdWordsConstants::RECOMMENDED_PAGE_SIZE;
    } while ($page->totalNumEntries > $selector->paging->startIndex);
    return $ret;
}


and i am getting result as

 Array ( [0] => Array ( [keyword text] => lease-accounting [searchvolume] => -619437956526634531 ) )

Please help me out of this.


Thanks,

Hi Sugappriya,

Are you using your test account in the TargetingIdeaService request?  If so, the data returned will be dummy data.  You won't be able to use the TargetingIdeaService to get meaningful data until you have an approved developer token and issue the requests against a non-test account.

Thanks,

Hi Josh,

I created Refresh token and client customer id from test acount only. My developer token is still pending for review.

I used like this $selector->requestType = "STATS"

and i was trying to fetch avg monthly searches but its giving the below result.But in keyword planner tool its showing 1900.You can refer my previous post image.

Array ( [0] => Array ( [keyword text] => lease-accounting [searchvolume] => Array ( [0] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2014 [month] => 4 [count] => 5470032339580407767 ) [1] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2014 [month] => 3 [count] => -564243844579747617 ) [2] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2014 [month] => 2 [count] => -6370275530849895689 ) [3] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2014 [month] => 1 [count] => 1974808081556354969 ) [4] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2013 [month] => 12 [count] => 958637242624284451 ) [5] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2013 [month] => 11 [count] => 849376547664379796 ) [6] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2013 [month] => 10 [count] => 1556130635073640503 ) [7] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2013 [month] => 9 [count] => -3664306422764977970 ) [8] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2013 [month] => 8 [count] => -8272530439122489372 ) [9] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2013 [month] => 7 [count] => 2603995224135419719 ) [10] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2013 [month] => 6 [count] => 5361983111252305629 ) [11] => MonthlySearchVolume Object ( [year] => 2013 [month] => 5 [count] => -7336862422889296561 ) ) ) )

Hi,

Yes, it's due to the fact that you are using a test account.  As mentioned in the test accounts guide:

• The TargetingIdeaService and TrafficEstimatorService return dummy data to test accounts.

Hi Josh,

TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES returns past twelve month searches with three parameters.But how do i find avg monthly searches as same as keyword planner tool.?

Do i need to calculate from count value? or any other way to find it.

Can you please help me on the same.

Thanks,

Sugappriya

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Sugappriya,

The SEARCH_VOLUME AttributeType will return average monthly searches.

[sugar...@gmail.com]

Thank you so much Josh

[sugar...@gmail.com]

Hi Josh,

COMPETITION Attribute returns the value  between 0 to 1. If i would like to get low ,medium or high format.What should i do.

Thanks,

Sugappriya

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Sugappriya,

The API doesn't have a field for low/medium/high specifically, so you would have to calculate it yourself based on the COMPETITION attribute.

Cheers,

Josh, AdWords API Team

Hi Josh,

Is there any way to find Google total search results value using  API or any other method?

Thanks,

Sugappriya

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi,

The closest you could get is using SEARCH_VOLUME and then multiplying that by the number of months.

Best regards,
