Excellent advice. We used to collect this data externally because we knew Google was serving ads very liberally but integrating it into Analytics is a huge time and money saver.

Very interesting article. Thanks for posting, however, I have a few questions:

Wouldn’t using the search query report in Google adwords give you this data?

Also, if you link your adwords with your analytics can’t you just pull a Paid Traffic Sources report?

Cheers,

Bryan

Do you have a tutor for Site Search Query Parameter (required): Use commas to separate multiple parameters (5 max) in the profile?

I can’t get my searched to show up on analytics.

Thank you

Hi again,
Any new information come to light about this problem? I have yet to get this working on my adwords account, but it would be super useful to have.

Thanks,
Sam

Yes I’m pretty sure I did everything as instructed, both from the video and the PDF, twice. I have the GoogleAnalytics report showing, can drill down all the way to adgroups and keywords, but only see the keywords, not the user queries in brackets.

Strange indeed.
PS. I am using the new AdwWords interface.

@Sam, did you create a new profile and then go through the steps to add the filter?

Hi Linda,

I don’t seem to be getting the search terms showing up on the report. I am going all the way down to the keyword level and can’t see the search query at any of the levels.

Am I doing something wrong here?

thanks
Sam

This doesn’t work for me anymore. Something happened and I don’t know what. Can somebody provide a solution to fix it?

Hi Lori, the best way is to separate your exact and phrase matches to their own campaigns or ad groups, so you can view them under the Adwords menu in Google Analytics, go to “Traffic Sources” and click on “Adwords” and find those groups from there.

Hope that helps
