An internal tool operated by Shanghai Chenjie Printing Material Co., Ltd.

This page describes an internal software application we operate, which uses the Google Ads API to support content planning for our website. It does not manage advertising campaigns, place bids, or access any personal Google user data.

1. What This Tool Is

Printbar Keyword Research Tool is a lightweight, Python-based internal application used exclusively by the content team at Shanghai Chenjie Printing Material Co., Ltd. It is not a commercial product, not available to the public, and does not generate revenue. Its sole function is to help our editorial staff identify relevant industry keywords before publishing educational articles about offset printing technology.

2. What It Does

The tool performs one specific task: keyword research. An editor provides a seed keyword related to an upcoming article topic (for example, "fountain solution" or "offset printing blanket"). The tool queries the Google Ads Keyword Planner to retrieve related keyword suggestions along with estimated monthly search volumes. Our editors review the results and selectively incorporate one or two relevant keywords into the article to help printing professionals find our content through organic search. The tool runs fewer than ten queries per day.

3. How It Uses the Google Ads API

The tool calls a single Google Ads API method: KeywordPlanIdeaService.GenerateKeywordIdeas. Each request specifies a seed keyword, a language (English), and a geographic target (United States). The API returns a list of related keywords with search volume estimates and competition levels. No other Google Ads API methods are called. The tool does not create campaigns, manage ad groups, set bids, retrieve account performance data, or access billing information. It does not interact with any Google Ads accounts beyond the keyword planner endpoint.

4. What Data It Accesses

The tool accesses only the data returned by GenerateKeywordIdeas: keyword text strings, monthly search volume ranges, and competition index values. This data is aggregated and anonymous. It is not linked to any individual Google account, does not contain personally identifiable information, and does not reveal any advertiser-specific behavior. The tool itself stores nothing: results are reviewed, the relevant keywords are noted, and the session data is discarded.

5. Data Handling and Privacy

All keyword research data is used exclusively for editorial planning on our own website, shprintbar.com. No data is sold, licensed, shared with third parties, or used for any purpose other than our own content optimization. API authentication is handled through a dedicated Google Cloud service account with private key encryption. The private key is stored securely on our internal server and is never exposed to client-side code or public repositories.
