Connect Apple Ads

Get Apple’s official search popularity (1–100) for your keywords instead of estimates. Read-only: Searvia never changes your campaigns.

About 10 minutes

What you need

  • An Apple Ads account (it can be free, no campaign needed) and its Account Admin
  • A second Apple ID: an email address that is not yet a user in your Apple Ads account
  1. 1

    Invite an API user

    Apple Ads › Account Settings › User Management

    In Apple Ads open Account Settings › User Management › Invite Users. Enter a name and the second email address, choose the API Account Read Only role and send the invite.

  2. 2

    Accept the invite

    Open the invitation email and accept it. If that address has no Apple ID yet, Apple asks you to create one.

  3. 3

    Create the key in Searvia

    Settings › Connections › Apple Ads

    In Searvia open Settings › Connections › Apple Ads and click Create public key, then Copy public key. The matching private key stays encrypted in Searvia.

  4. 4

    Sign in as the API user

    Apple Ads › Account Settings › API

    Sign out of Apple Ads and sign in with the API user’s Apple ID. Open Account Settings › API. Account admins do not see this page; only API users do.

  5. 5

    Generate the API client

    Paste the public key into the Public Key field, click Generate API Client, then Save. Apple shows a clientId, teamId and keyId.

  6. 6

    Finish in Searvia

    Copy the clientId, teamId and keyId into Searvia and click Connect. Searvia checks the connection and loads popularity for your keywords right away.

What you get

Keywords show Apple’s own popularity score. Apple reports a score only for terms with enough searches; others keep Searvia’s estimate.
