Hi team, When using the TargetingIdeaService I'm having trouble matching the web interface monthly search volumes.
If I use the basket containing the two terms "car", and "cars" the web interface will recognise these as close variants and exclude one from the count. When using the TargetingIdeaService I'm returned two keyword volumes summed together as they are close variants. As the returned volumes have already been summed together by the api, my system is double counting when summing the returned volumes. I have three questions around this issue: 1) Is there a way to request the keywords use exact matching for the search volume data rather than matching other keywords. 2) Is there a way to know which keywords are close variants so I can exclude these from my total sum of volumes for a keyword basket? 3) Are the close variant/matching definitions changing? It seems like each month, when I pull the previous 12 months search volumes, the historic data is changing.
