Hi Benjamin, Have you tried using the Keyword Optimizer <https://github.com/googleads/keyword-optimizer> to identify high-quality keywords? You may see a difference in the search volume statistics and the actual traffic your keywords receive for various reasons <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6371335>. Since web traffic is influenced by seasonality, current events, and a number of other factors, the number of searches on your keywords is constantly fluctuating. Your estimated impressions take your bid, budget, and historical ad quality into account, but your search volume statistics don’t. The search volume is determined only for exact keyword matches, while your estimated impressions are based on your selected match types. Please try using the Keyword Optimizer and let me know if the results match your requirements. If you still see a considerable difference in the results from TargetingIdeaService and the actual serving status of your keywords, please send over a few samples along with your clientCustomerId and I'll take a look. Please use *Reply privately to author* when responding.
