Google AdWords Improves Data Freshness in Reporting for Search Terms, Geo & Placements Data

googleadwordsheaderJon Dorio, AdWords Product Management Lead, quietly announced on Google+ and Twitter that Google AdWords has made improvement to the freshness of some data reports in AdWords accounts.

Search terms, geographic performance and automatic placement stats are all now seeing more frequent updates in AdWords reports.

One of the biggest complaints for AdWords advertisers is that some of the data is delayed more than they’d like, especially when handling large campaigns with a very high number of impressions and clickthroughs, as well as when one needs to babysit a campaign for any kind of reason.
