Confirm the Apple Search Ads Integration

Once an integration with Apple Search Ads has been created, data will begin to populate within your Search Ads Maven account. The easiest location to verify that data is being sent to your account is within the Overview page.

  1. Click Overview.

NOTE: Once an integration with Apple Search Ads has been created, data will begin to populate within the Search Ads Maven UI for the last day/week. Historical data that is older than the last 7 days will begin to be populated within approximately 245 hours after integration is complete.

Overview

  1. Check to verify that data has been populated into the various metrics displayed within the data cards.

NOTE: Depending on the complexity of your account, only a small amount of data may be populated into your Search Ads Maven account. As long as data is present, regardless of the amount, the integration with Apple Search Ads has been completed successfully.

  1. If data is not present in the data cards, click Sync Latest Data. This will initiate the data ingestion.

NOTE: The time shown for data sync is local time of the client (browser time). Reporting time is UTC in Search Ads Maven for all requests except for scheduled reports. For reporting, date range is received at backend as a UTC date and is converted to a timestamp subsequently. Search Ads Maven does not take user’s ASA timezone into account currently.


Explore Your Data

Now that your Apple Search Ads data has been populated with Search Ads Maven, you are ready to explore your data.

  1. Click Ads Manager.

NOTE: Your data is automatically synced, but if you want to ensure you have the latest data you can click Sync Latest Data.

The Keyword Analysis page provides the ability to examine the keywords that you have used as well as the keywords your competitors are using.
