Hey Peter, I'm having an issue where two seemingly similar keyword queries return the same search volume using TargetingIdeaService. The keywords are "erpsim" and "serpsim" - I receive identical search volume and CPC for both of them (880 and 4.91, respectively). This is really misleading because the keywords are not related. I think the API is doing a broad match. Is there an option to specify exact match mode for keywords using TargetingIdeaService?
