Search volumes when close variants are grouped together

[Alex Papageorgiou]

Hi, 

A question regarding the consistency in the way similar terms are grouped together when search volumes are requested. 

Is the way these groups are created consistent in time or subject to change?

For example say that I request the volume for keywords a,b,c but the response groups keywords a and b together to provide a unique volume for the two because they are considered as close variants. 

Is this grouping likely to remain the same in the future? In other words if in a year from now I submit the same list of keywords can I be confident enough that keywords a and b will be still be grouped together?

Basically what I am trying to understand here is if the way groups are created is dynamic and therefore subject to frequent change for requests between different periods, or if it's generally speaking stable ( and I don 't mean 100 pc stable,  of course some deviations are expected)

Thanks

Hi Alex,

Since your question is Google Ads calculates search volumes which doesn't pertain particularly to the API, you can get support from product support. We only handle API bugs, setup and discrepancies between API and UI.
