AdWords Search Query Performance Report (New)

Received notification today of a new AdWords report called "Search Query Performance" report. According to the info I received the search query report "is a new report type that shows performance data for search queries which triggered your ads and received clicks. Search query performance data provides insight into how users find and react to your ads. "

According to Google the purpose of this tool is to help you;


1) Select the correct match type (i.e broad, phrase, exact or negative) for existing keywords.
2) Identify new keywords you may want to add.
3) Identify existing keywords you may want to delete.

Search query performance reports will include search queries on the search network from May 2, 2007 and onward.


You can select this report from the reports tab:





Interesting report - check it out in your account if you haven't already.

Edit - I also found this page that goes into a lot more detail in the AdWords support center.

This is very useful!

No need to guess what negative keywords you should be using any more!

For companies without any web stats, this could make a huge difference to their campaign...

It's a bit disappointing that it only reports on keywords that generated clicks, not the ones with impressions, but no clicks.

One of my campaigns has a significant number of impressions for search terms with no clicks, but I can't see which search terms they are...

I wish our clients had website statistics software...

You can see the exact same data and a lot more if you track your exact search queries in Google Analytics.

Use the Google Analytics Keyword Sleuth (its a custom script that allows exact queries to be passed into Google Analytics)
