Re: Traffic Estimation Service Data for Search campaign

[Pradeep Datla]

Hi Mitchell,

We took your advice and now we are taking maxCPC and daily budget from the 
user. But even after sending both maxCPC(in KeywordEstimateRequest) and 
dailyBudget(in CampaignEstimateRequest), the clicks count i get from api 
dont match with the one shown in keywordplanner forecast UI offered by 
google. I have added the same parameter into api like presented in UI. The 
only difference i see is the datarange selected which is not offered in API

I logged in with the same user credentials in UI as the accesstoken i am 
passing in API. I followed all the steps from : 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/traffic-estimator-service
We are simulating for Proposed Campaign. so i am not passing any campaign 
id or adgroup id
I have used the same exact keywords (Broad Match) , Location , Language And 
Search Network , maxCPC and i matched the daily budget to the estimate 
provided by UI. Still the results i got did not match with UI.

Please provide solution, what could be wrong.

Thank You,
Pradeep Datla.

Hi Pradeep,

The TargetingIdeaService's average CPC is based on historical metrics so it is 
a good projection but will not accurately reflect the CPC for the keyword in 
the user's ad group. I recommend implementing a way to get the max CPC from the 
user as it is very specific to their account. If this is not possible, you can 
estimate it based on the values returned from the TargetingIdeaService however 
this isn't likely to match the forecast shown for the ad group.

Re: Traffic Estimation Service Data for Search campaign

[Pradeep Datla]

As i dont have maxCPC from the user , Can i average the avgCPC of the 
keywords user selected from "TargetingIdeaService" and send it as maxCPC.* 
Is this the right way to guess maxCPC value? *
also *please suggest* if there is any alternative to comeup with a maxCPC 
value to get the traffic estimation

Hi Pradeep,

Thank you for reaching out. As explained here, the TrafficEstimatorService is 
meant to mimic the keyword planner in the UI so the values you are getting are 
the expected values. Unfortunately, there is no way to retrieve the daily 
estimates from the screenshot you provided.

Traffic Estimation Service Data for Search campaign

[Pradeep Datla]

Hi,

We are creating Search Campaign through API and using 
"TargetingIdeaService" to get Keywords Ideas. Based on keywords selected by 
the user and selected Campaign Budget we want to show the reach.

we dont have a maxCPC value from the user and we only take the budget per 
day value. So when i am using "TrafficEstimatorService" the results i am 
getting never match the values shown in Google UI(as i have to set maxCPC 
to some number). 


I dont think i have implemented "TrafficEstimatorService" wrong, as the api 
results i get match the data shown in Google ads Keyword planner forecasts 
tab(when i use the same maxCPC in both api and planner UI). My problem is 
that the data does not match the Google Ads UI while creating Search Ad, 
which is what we are trying to provide user through our system.

*Is there any other service or method i can use to get the right data?*

I have attached a screenshot of Google Ads UI to show the daily estimates i 
am referring to.

Thank You,
Pradeep Datla.
