I've played with this quite a bit. Average targeted monthly searches only shows the searches you've selected with your filter. For example, if you used en/US as your language and country filter, you'd only see the traffic for English searches in the US. I definitely get back number for average and the numbers seem pretty reasonable when we compare them against impression counts for similarly targeted SEM ads where we rank very high.
It doesn't look like you've specified any filters in your example, so I'm not sure why you're not seeing global and targeted searches being the same. Maybe it doesn't populate it unless you have at least one language or country selector. On Mar 25, 5:52 pm, Alex <[email protected]> wrote: > We're seeing this issue too.
