Domain's Ads in Google Search Results

Google Ads Performance
Enter a URL and click the Search icon to generate the report and discover the keywords that produced a Google Ad for the domain in search results.

The Ad Position Distribution chart provides the number of ads displayed in various ad rank positions in both the top (blue) and bottom (gray) ad blocks of the search results. Similarly, the Block Location chart summarizes the number and percentage of total ads displayed in the SERP.

In the table below the charts, you can click column headings to sort by Ad Position, search volume, keyword difficulty, average CPC, traffic, or URL.

Ad Performance by Country

Find Keywords that displayed Ads in Google country-based search
When a site has ads displaying in more than one country search engine, a ribbon of country flags displays directly below the search bar. Clicking a country flag launches the Paid Keywords report for the site's ad appearances in that country's Google search results.

Individual Page Ads and Keywords

Discover more keywords resulting in page Ads
Because there may be more than one Ad running for a page, this report includes an option to click the URL that's in the domain-based report to launch the Paid Keywords report filtered for that targeted Ad page, allowing you to view additional keywords and Ad copy.
