This script summarizes keyword performance through distribution charts of quality score and impression share from ads triggered on Google Search.
A new Keyword Performance report gets created whenever the script executes. These reports are saved as spreadsheets on Google Drive. The script can also be configured to email the reports.
Scheduling
The script uses last week's statistics to generate the report. Schedule it Weekly, on Mondays.
How it works
The script starts off creating a copy of a template spreadsheet, with all graphs preconfigured.
The script then populates the data values in the Report sheet. Graphs in the other sheets get constructed automatically.
Setup
- Create a new script with the source code below.
- Update
RECIPIENT_EMAIL
to specify your email preference. - Schedule to run Weekly, on Mondays.
