SearchQueryPerformanceReportColumn Value Set - Reporting

Defines the attributes and performance statistics columns that you can include in the SearchQueryPerformanceReportRequest.

The report will include data only for search terms that resulted in a significant number of clicks in the last 30 days.

Since this data might change over time, please use the Keyword Performance Report to get the performance metrics for your keywords.

The attribute columns that you include in a report can affect how the statistics are aggregated. In other words the number of rows increase by a factor of the unique attributes. For more information, see Columns that Group the Data.

For a list of columns that you must include, please see the Required Columns section below.

To see how far back hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and summary aggregated data can be retrieved for a report, see Report Data Retention Time Periods.

A higher number indicates your ad is frequently showing in the best ad position.

The value of this column is empty if the data is not available. Neither Hourly or HourOfDay aggregation are supported. If you include this column with Hourly or HourOfDay aggregation the service will not return an error and you should ignore any performance data returned for this column.
AccountId The Microsoft Advertising assigned identifier of an account.
AccountName The account name.
AccountNumber The Microsoft Advertising assigned number of an account.
AccountStatus The account status.
AdGroupCriterionId The Microsoft Advertising assigned identifier of an ad group criterion.
AdGroupId The Microsoft Advertising assigned identifier of an ad group.
AdGroupName The ad group name.
AdGroupStatus The ad group status.
AdId The Microsoft Advertising assigned identifier of an ad.
AdStatus The ad status.

AllConversionRate The conversion rate as a percentage.

The number of conversions, divided by the total number of clicks. For example, if the ads in your campaign got 300 clicks and four conversions, the conversion rate is 1.33 (%).

The formula for calculating the conversion rate is (Conversions / Clicks) x 100.

Data will be excluded from the ConversionRate report column for any conversion goal with the ExcludeFromBidding property set to true. The AllConversionRate column will include data for all conversion goals regardless of their ExcludeFromBidding setting.

Available for accounts that are setup to use analytics with Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking. For more information, see the Track sales and other conversions help topic.
AllConversions The number of conversions.

A conversion is the completion of an action by a customer after viewing your ad. The action could be purchasing your product, registering for your webinar, joining an organization, or whatever you consider your goal and best measure of the ad's success.

Conversions are measured by adding a small bit of code to your website pages so that a visitor's progress through your site can be tracked.

Data will be excluded from the Conversions report column for any conversion goal with the ExcludeFromBidding property set to true. The AllConversions column will include data for all conversion goals regardless of their ExcludeFromBidding setting.

Available for accounts that are setup to use analytics with Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking. For more information, see the Track sales and other conversions help topic.

This column is deprecated as of 2022, so you should use the AllConversionsQualified column instead. Going forward, performance reports will return "0" (zero) in this column. Historical data for time periods prior to the deprecation date will still be available according to the published data retention period.
AllConversionsQualified The number of conversions.

A conversion is the completion of an action by a customer after viewing your ad. The action could be purchasing your product, registering for your webinar, joining an organization, or whatever you consider your goal and best measure of the ad's success.

You should expect the data type as double whether or not there are partial externally attributed offline conversions.

Not everyone has this feature yet. If you don't, don't worry - it's coming soon!
AllCostPerConversion The cost per conversion.

The formula for calculating the cost per conversion is (Spend / Conversions). Only ads in campaigns that enable conversion tracking contribute to the conversion number, so unless all campaigns in the account enable conversion tracking, the number will not be accurate.

Data will be excluded from the CostPerConversion report column for any conversion goal with the ExcludeFromBidding property set to true. The AllCostPerConversion column will include data for all conversion goals regardless of their ExcludeFromBidding setting.

Available for accounts that are setup to use analytics with Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking. For more information, see the Track sales and other conversions help topic.
AllReturnOnAdSpend The return on ad spend (ROAS).

The formula for calculating the ROAS is (Revenue / Spend).

Assists The number of conversions from other ads within the same account that were preceded by one or more clicks from this ad. An ad is considered to have assisted the conversion if it was clicked before the most recently clicked ad that was credited with the conversion. Additionally, the click corresponding to the assist must occur within the conversion period of the goal.
AverageCpc The average cost per click (CPC). The total cost of all clicks on an ad divided by the number of clicks. This is the average amount you're actually charged each time your ad is clicked. For example, if you paid a total of 48.35 for 300 clicks, your average CPC is 0.16. The formula for calculating the average CPC is (Spend /Clicks).
AverageCpm The total advertising cost divided by the number of impressions (in thousands).<br/
In Latin, mille means a thousand. Also, sometimes called average cost per thousand (CPT).

This is a standard advertising industry performance metric that we calculate based on your spend and number of impressions.

The goal of CPM-based ad budgeting is to build awareness of your brand to large audiences. CPM tells you how much it costs to get an ad to the type of users you're targeting.
AveragePosition The average position of the ad on a webpage.

Ctr The click-through rate (CTR) is the number of times an ad was clicked, divided by the number of times the ad was shown (impressions). For example, if your ads got 50 clicks given 2,348 impressions, your CTR is 2.13 (%). The formula for calculating CTR is (Clicks / Impressions) x 100.
CustomerId The Microsoft Advertising assigned identifier of a customer.
CustomerName The customer name.
DeliveredMatchType The match type used to deliver an ad. This can be different from the BidMatchType column, for example if you bid on a broad match and the search term was an exact match. For more information, see Budget and Bid Strategies.

The possible values include "Broad", "Exact", "Exact (close variant)", "Phrase", "Phrase (close variant)", and "Unknown".

The "Exact (close variant)" and "Phrase (close variant)" delivered match types became available in the search term (a.k.a. search query) report starting in October 2019. Data for these match types is available for time periods as far back as July 2019.

Search term report data prior to July 2019 as well as data for other report types will not include the "close variant" detail. For example, if the search term delivered match type is either "Exact" or "Exact (close variant)", the keyword performance report would return the delivered match type as "Exact". Likewise, if the search term delivered match type is either "Phrase" or "Phrase (close variant)", the keyword performance report would return the delivered match type as "Phrase".

The performance metrics for the sum of "Exact" and "Exact (close variant)" should match the performance metrics in other reports for the same search term. For example, if the search term report includes 3 impressions for "Exact (close variant)" and 2 impressions for "Exact", then (assuming an equivalent date range, filter, or other report criteria) the same keyword should have 5 impressions in the keyword performance report.
DestinationUrl The destination URL attribute of the ad, keyword, or ad group criterion. If the destination URL contains dynamic text substitution parameters (for example, {param1}), the report will contain the URL after substitution occurs.
DeviceOS The operating system of the device reported in the DeviceType column. The possible values include Android, Blackberry, iOS, Other, Unknown, and Windows.

Impressions The number of times an ad has been displayed on search results pages. Without impressions there are no clicks or conversions.
Keyword The keyword text.
KeywordId The Microsoft Advertising assigned identifier of a keyword.

ReturnOnAdSpend The return on ad spend (ROAS).

The formula for calculating the ROAS is (Revenue / Spend).

Data will be excluded from the ReturnOnAdSpend report column for any conversion goal with the ExcludeFromBidding property set to true. The AllReturnOnAdSpend column will include data for all conversion goals regardless of their ExcludeFromBidding setting.
