Title: GKT no longer showing exact search volumes, just ranges.
Post by: gm66 on September 09, 2016, 11:38:53 AM
Logged in to G keyword planner research keywords for a new client, lo and behold i get this message :

"This page shows ranges for search volumes. For a more detailed view, set up and run a campaign."

Set up and RUN a campaign.

So now we have to pay to see search volumes ?

Greedy fucking corporate twats.

Please tell me i've got this wrong ?

It's old news app[arently :

Can we still get the data via API ?

Grrrrr.

You "just" need a paid active account and the data is all yours...

remarkably good, free to use and large volumes returned quickly seemingly with exact matches rather than the recently broadened matching that the keyword tool returns now by default

>old news

I was grabbing exact counts from Adwords as recently as this week. Seems like it applies to everyone now, at least people who havent added a CC.

Yep, I mentioned this a week or two ago in another thread here.

You need a paid account, and be in that account and then go to tools.

Even after that, you're looking at broad match type numbers. You need to add to plan, make a massively high bid estimate and then forecast to see real numbers for em.

I'm impressed with that Adam, thanks for the heads up, only $8 per month at the moment for the starter.

I looked back at your posts up until August 1st and can't find the thread you started, can you tell me what hoops i have to jump through to get exact volumes ?

I have an active campaign and my CC entered but still get ranges.


Cheers!
