View Search Ads 360 Natural Search data

Natural search data is only available if you’re also a Search Ads 360 customer. You can test if you’re already enabled for Search Ads 360 by running an advertiser-level report. The resulting report should contain a default campaign titled “DART Search” (unless you’ve already renamed it).

Search Ads 360 Natural Search uses the Floodlight tag to track conversions and has options you can select that will de-duplicate data from display (Campaign Manager 360) and paid search (Search Ads 360) traffic. In order to use Search Ads 360 Natural Search and report on natural search data, you must be using Floodlight to track conversions.

You’ll also need to enable the following permissions:

• Account level: Enable Search Ads 360
• User role: View Search Query

To add natural search data to your report:

1. In "Instant Reporting", click New.

2. If you’d like to limit the amount of data that appears in the report, click Add filter and select the natural search dimension you’d like to filter on. The report header will include data for each result that matches the filter you selected, as well as metadata that lists the terms you entered and match types used. The following match types are available for filtering on natural search dimensions:

   • Equals: results match the exact string that you entered.

   • Starts with: includes all results that begin with the specified string.

   • Contains: includes all results that contain any occurrence of the string.

   • Wildcard: matches the string you entered, with zero or more instances of any character in the position of the wildcard (*).

3. Select the metrics and dimensions you’d like to add to the report. View the full list of available natural search fields below.

   Not all dimensions and metrics are compatible with one another. To run a report that contains natural search dimensions and metrics, you must only include compatible metrics and dimensions. Click the three-dot icon next to the metric and dimension search bar, then toggle off the "Show incompatible" option.

4. (Optional) View natural search data for individual activities by selecting the activities to add and the metrics to report on.

   Adding activity metrics pivots your report in such a way that it shows the same data, but the rows and columns are switched around. Each activity/metric combination will appear in its own column.

5. (Optional) Schedule your report to run at a certain time.

6. Click Save and download to view the report later.

You may notice some discrepancies between Search Ads 360 and Campaign Manager 360 Reporting data, which may be a result of the way that Search Ads 360 handles conversion counts, Floodlight instructions, uploaded conversions, or Campaign Manager 360 conversion updates.
