GetEstimatedPositionByKeywords Service Operation - Ad Insight
Gets the estimated position in the search results if the specified bid value would be used for the specified keywords. In addition, the operation provides estimates of clicks, average cost per click (CPC), and impressions that the keywords could be generated with the estimated bid.
The estimates are not a prediction or guarantee of future performance.
Note
This operation is for search campaigns using the enhanced CPC bid strategy.
Request Elements
The GetEstimatedPositionByKeywordsRequest object defines the body and header elements of the service operation request. The elements must be in the same order as shown in the Request SOAP.
Note
Unless otherwise noted below, all request elements are required.
Request Body Elements
Element | Description | Data Type |
---|---|---|
AdGroupId | The identifier of the ad group whose performance data is used to help determine how well the keyword might perform in the context of the ad group. Specifying an ad group helps improve the accuracy of the suggested position. If you specify an ad group, you must specify the campaign that it belongs to. |
long |
CampaignId | The identifier of the campaign that owns the ad group specified in AdGroupId. If you do not specify an ad group, the campaign's performance data is used to help determine how well the keyword might perform in the context of the campaign. Specifying a campaign and ad group helps improve the accuracy of the suggested position. If neither AdGroupId or CampaignId are specified, the operation uses the specified CustomerAccountId header element to help determine how well the keyword might perform in the context of the account. |
long |
CurrencyCode | The ISO code for the monetary unit to use to calculate the cost estimates and suggested bid value. If not set, the service determines the currency from the account specified in the CustomerAccountId header element. If neither Currency or CustomerAccountId is set, the service uses USD. |
CurrencyCode |
Keywords | An array of keywords for which you want to get the estimated position in the search results, based on the specified bid value. You may specify a maximum of 1,000 keywords and each keyword can contains a maximum of 100 characters. | string array |
Language | The language used in parallel with location identifiers for estimating the position. The language must be supported in each of the locations that you specify in LocationIds. For possible language values, see Ad Languages. If you do not specify the language, the service operation uses the language of the specified AdGroupId or CampaignId. If none of these properties are set, then EN (English) is used by default. |
string |
LocationIds | The identifier or identifiers of the geographical locations to use for estimating the position. All of the locations must support the language specified in the Language element. Although you can specify multiple location identifiers, as a best practice for the most accurate position estimates per location, you should specify only one location per service call. For possible location identifiers, see Geographical Location Codes. If you do not specify any locations, the service operation uses the location criterions of the specified AdGroupId or CampaignId. If none of these properties are set, then 190 (United States) is used by default. |
long array |
MatchTypes | An array of unique match types for which you want to get estimates. You may not specify the Content match type. |
MatchType array |
MaxBid | The maximum bid value to use to determine the estimated position in the search results. | double |
Request Header Elements
Element | Description | Data Type |
---|---|---|
AuthenticationToken | The OAuth access token that represents the credentials of a user who has permissions to Microsoft Advertising accounts. For more information see Authentication with OAuth. |
string |
CustomerAccountId | The identifier of the ad account that owns or is associated with the entities in the request. This header element must have the same value as the AccountId body element when both are required. This element is required for most service operations, and as a best practice you should always set it. For more information see Get Your Account and Customer IDs. |
string |
CustomerId | The identifier of the manager account (customer) the user is accessing or operating from. A user can have access to multiple manager accounts. This element is required for most service operations, and as a best practice you should always set it. For more information see Get Your Account and Customer IDs. |
string |
DeveloperToken | The developer token used to access the Bing Ads API. For more information see Get a Developer Token. |
string |
Password | This element is reserved for internal use and will be removed from a future version of the API. You must use the AuthenticationToken element to set user credentials. | string |
UserName | This element is reserved for internal use and will be removed from a future version of the API. You must use the AuthenticationToken element to set user credentials. | string |
Response Elements
The GetEstimatedPositionByKeywordsResponse object defines the body and header elements of the service operation response. The elements are returned in the same order as shown in the Response SOAP.
Response Body Elements
Element | Description | Data Type |
---|---|---|
KeywordEstimatedPositions | An array of KeywordEstimatedPosition data objects. The array contains an item for each keyword specified in the request. If the keyword is not valid, the corresponding item in the array will be null. If data is available for the keyword, the EstimatedPositionAndTraffic will provide the estimated position in the search results where your ads could appear, based on the specified bid value. Otherwise, the EstimatedPositions element will be set to null. |
KeywordEstimatedPosition array |
Response Header Elements
Element | Description | Data Type |
---|---|---|
TrackingId | The identifier of the log entry that contains the details of the API call. | string |
