Search terms

Search-term intelligence. Aggregate analysis of which search queries trigger ads across connected accounts, where the systemic waste sits, and which n-grams reliably signal it.

What this pillar is.

The search-terms pillar is the public reference for AdTAO's n-gram-level visibility. Like the placements pillar, counts are derived from connected accounts, k-anonymity-filtered, and rounded. The pillar publishes weekly editions and an upload-tool that produces an n-gram waste report from a single account's search-term download; insight articles surface compounding patterns over time.

What's coming.

Each item below becomes a stable URL when its data substrate ships. URLs announced here will not change once published.

  • /search-terms/weekly

    Index of dated weekly editions. Permanent at /search-terms/weekly/[yyyy-Www]; immutable post-publish.

    IA Phase 3 — first edition with the pipeline orchestrator

  • /search-terms/methodology

    How the n-gram aggregates are produced: tokenisation rules, k-anonymity threshold, what counts as waste, link to the published aggregation scripts.

    IA Phase 2 — alongside the methodology audit

  • /search-terms/upload-tool

    Upload a Google Ads search-terms report; receive an n-gram waste analysis scored against the corpus. Free; account-agnostic; no signup.
