Yahoo! JAPAN will release a feature to import data on conversions tracked outside the website in the Campaign Management Tool.
The conversion import feature is available only for Yahoo! JAPAN Ads conversion tracking API. However, it will be available in the Campaign Management Tool, so account managers can easily import conversion data.
Advertisers can expect ad delivery optimisation and improvement in ad performance by capturing conversions that are counted outside the website, such as store visits or purchases at a physical store.

Yahoo! JAPAN has added the following ad delivery decision-making factors for broad match-type keywords:
– Landing page content
– Other keywords in the same ad group
This will allow users to deliver ads more accurately.
Example:
The keyword “青梅 ome” has different meanings:
1. Area name (Ome City near Tokyo)
2. Food name (plums, plum wine ingredients)
Yahoo! JAPAN can deliver ads based on the user’s search intent by analysing the landing page content, the user’s past search behaviour, and other keywords in the same ad group.

Yahoo! JAPAN will change the specifications for determining entered names and values using the filter and search features in the Campaign Management Tool.
This change applies to the filter feature when selecting “contains” or “does not contain” as filter conditions. Others, such as “equals,” don’t apply for the change.
– Alphabet: full-width, half-width, case-insensitive
– Numbers and symbols: full-width and half-width insensitive
This change improves usability by eliminating the need to distinguish between full- and half-width characters, upper and lower case, etc. when using the filter and search features.
