Google Keyword Planner Tool Bug Shows No Data

For the past 24-hours or so, the Google keyword planner tool within Google Ads has been broken. It is giving people errors and showing “no data” found responses.

It shows the error “something went wrong – please try again.” This has been going on for about 24-hours now and trying again does not work.

Please note, many are saying that exporting the data does work, even though it does not display any data on the screen.

Here is one of the many screenshots I’ve seen on Twitter about this:

Ginny Marvin from Google is currently on vacation but she did respond that she will pass this along:

Hi Jim, I’m out this week but have flagged to the team.

It does seem like you can export the data, despite not data being shown – but I am not sure if that works for everyone.

Here are some, not all, of the complaints over the past 24 hours:

yes!

You are a legend – I just need the export so that’s good enough for me. Thanks, Kamil!

You can still export data if that helps at all – just isn’t showing up on the dashboard for some reason!

@GoogleAds keyword planner has been down for 24 hours, any word on when it’ll be back up?
