Ads Diagnostic Tool

[Discovery]

Google has a little addition; ads diagnostic tool right next to your keywords in the campaign view.

Seems nifty - see where your ad ranks in a demo view, however who in the world is going to go through their campaigns keyword by keyword?

Its early, and I could have missed it, but it would be far better to simply be able to enter in your criteria for performance and have adwords flag it. Then you could do the individual research and drill down on the keywords.

Anyhow, G seems like they are releasing a new feature, new service, new company every other second these days.

Oh Good, So I'm not seeing things after all. :p

I'm the only one at my agency to have this feature, and only on one account. Is anyone experiencing this MCC wide? I've been calling my rep to try and get more info.. I've been noticing a lot of new features and subtle additions in the past few weeks as well. Looks like Adwords is working hard to improve the experience even greater and differentiate their platform further from Panama.

I haven't been able to see this feature in either of my accounts in the MCC.

Additional tools:

Search for ad ranking in a Geo location
Search for ad ranking by entering in a URL

The results only tell you that your ad is or is not running.
Then links to a demonstration page of how and where your ad is placed.

I dont think you guys are missing much here.

I too am not seeing it... though I did see it a while ago.Sorry, I missed this thread till now, folks. ;) This new addition to the Ads Diagnostic function is only available in a limited number of accounts at present - though it will be available to all in the near future.

I'll pass along any and all comments to the right team; so if you're using it, please feel free to report back regarding your experience.

And thanks for noticing this in the first place, Discovery.

Funny not all of our accounts have it but I did find some!!!

I have more than one MCC

I have seen it in some but not all accounts. Nice feature - saves time as you don't need to use the ad diagnostic tool under 'tools' or search on Google itself.

Aussie,

I know how you feel. It's crazy how they are selecting them.

I have around 15 MCCs and only account one or two accounts from each MCC has it. Some of our average and oddball accounts have it,while some our largest accounts with the longest history, don't.

Our rep says its out of their control, and confirmed that its randomly selecting accounts. I tried and tried to persuade her to "hook us up" but no dice.

It is a cool tool to play with, but hasn't been that handy in optimizing campaigns yet. Maybe if it displayed the raw query used for each broad (similar to ClickPath if anyone is familiar) and conversion data along side each raw query, I'd have more data to work with in expanding my negatives :) Its amazing to see some of the terms that Adwords will match up and bundle under a single "broad" keyword.
