"suggestKeywordThemes" is different from the UI

[Chen Xiaowei]

I use "suggestKeywordThemes" to get keyword themes, but the API's results are partly different from the same setting in UI.API returned 19 results and UI shows 15.Only 9of them are the same, others are different.I've tried both keyword_theme_constant and ree_form_keyword_theme and occourred same problem.

Thanks,Vivi

Hi Chen,

Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads API support. To assist you further, could you privately send us the account Id and campaign Id that returns this mismatch between the API and UI, along with a full screenshot of the UI? We need to see how you setup the Smart Campaign.

Regards,

Aryeh Baker Google Ads API Team

Hi Chen,

Thank you for the reply.

I would like to inform you first that I am going to delete your reply as it contains personal information.

Moving forward to your concern, I can see that aside from keyword theme, you also set the final_url, language_code and business_context. With this, you need to set these values as well in the Google Ads UI and compare it in the API result again. If the issue persists, please provide the updated screenshot of the UI and the updated request and response logs with request ID and request header generated on your end.

You can provide it via Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

Hi Team，

Thanks for  continuing follow up my question，now we find the suggest keywordtheme would be inaccurate. As my store is selling hoverboards and socks，but the suggest keywordthemes are all furniture related.

My final_url is  https://lupmall.com/ 

Thanks

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

Hello Chen,

Could you please attach a new log for the result you just mentioned?

Hello Xiaowei,

I've just got answers for the person who has insight about this feature.

1. The suggestKeywordThemes currently isn't meant to produce exactly same results as in the UI right now. We may improve this over time, but right now, they're not equivalent.
2. As for your another request, it looks like your website doesn't seem to have enough text information for the suggestion feature to work well enough. You may consider improving the website content a bit to be able to make relevant predictions.

Hope this help.
