TargetingIdeaService does not show the query word

[mohamad reza moohebat]

Hi all,

I am working with TargetingIdeaService for extracting the keyword idea. The same process that we do by Keyword Planner. There is a problem here. It seems that the result excludes the keyword that we did the search on it. For instance, I get the idea word for 'Nike'. However, the result is lack of the 'Nike' itself. It shows up in Keyword Planner webpage but, it does not appear neither in downloaded CSV, nor API.

What is your suggestion?!

Hi Mohamad,

When using the TargetingIdeaService, it will generate new keywords and placements based on the keyword you did a search on.

Sometimes the results from the TargetingIdeaService and Keyword Planner differ. Most of time, this happens because the selector being used is using different Search Parameters.
