Google Business profile API - can search terms be pulled?

[tbarish]

Does anyone know if the Google Business profile API allows you to pull the search terms that showed a profile in the search results?

If so, I'd really be grateful for a link to the documentation.

Thanks in advance,

Tzvi Barish

Yes, you can get search queries now from it.

Amazing Joy. Do you happen to have a link to some information about how to pull the search terms using the API?

Yep, what Kyle said above

I also confirm that they can be downloaded.
Unlike other API data that is collected on a daily basis, keywords are aggregated on a monthly basis.

Does anyone make a product with a UI and functionality accessible to someone with no coding ability? Someone like me who just wants the data?

If you're good with Data Studio (Looker Studio), You can use Jepto.

@JoyHawkins Does Jepto pull in search volume for terms? Or does anyone else know? I created a report w/Jepto Screenshot 2024-01-22.png

@dale-jepto @noahlearner you guys know?

Hi @tarantino75 the reason you aren't seeing any data there is that for each keyword Google either provides the search volume or a search threshold. If your profile is below the threshold we will populate the threshold metric with the value that Google determines (normally this is around 15 searches per month).

Google says that they do this so that you can't link the search term to users.

Search Terms and Search volume are indeed available via Jepto. When you set up a GBP pipeline with Jepto, one of the endpoints they get data from is the searchKeyword endpoint. It allows you to see the terms, and also the "search volume' of the search terms at the monthly grain (unfortunately this monthly grain is enforced by Google). If the term gets at least 15 searches in a month, then you will see a value in the search volumne field.

if the terms gets less than 15 searches then that term will have a value in the Search Threshhold (which will show a value of 15).

You can't see Clicks, CTR, or position from the GBP API. You only get Search Volume.

Thank you everyone. I was confused over the search threshold appearing for some and not others.

@dale-jepto Should the queries shown in the GBP "match" what is showing via Jepto's data pull?

Yes, they will match. I'll DM you so we can discuss your report in detail.
