Keyword Match Types
This video is an overview of keyword match types. A keyword match type tells Google how much freedom they have when pairing your keywords with search queries. There are five types of match types: broad match, broad match modified, phrase match, exact match, and negative match. These match types will be discussed in detail in subsequent lectures.
12:12
Keyword Match Types: Broad Match
This is the default match type when you create a keyword inside an ad group in Google ads. It captures the most clicks and impressions. Search engines use broad matches to determine the search terms your ads will match against. The pros and cons of the broad match will be discussed in detail in this video.
09:13
Keyword Match Types: Broad Match Modified
This is a modified version of the broad match keyword type. In a broad match modified, a plus sign is added in front of one or more words in a broad match keyword. This feature can drive more traffic than phrase or exact match, and it attracts more qualified traffic than broad match. Watch this lecture video for more explanations on broad matches modified.
06:15
Keyword Match Types: Phrase Match
Phrase match is a more flexible keyword matching option, and it is more targeted than the default broad match option. In phrase match, Google matches your ad only against keywords that include a phrase you designate. The symbol for phrase match is quotation mark(“”), that is, you will quote your keyword to make sure your ad only appears for searches containing your exact keyword with additional words or phrases before or after your keyword.
06:30
Keyword Match Types: Exact Match
In this lecture video, you will learn about the exact match and its pros and cons. An exact match is a positive match that uses brackets [ ] to ensure your ad will only show for queries containing your exact keyword or additional phrases. Negative keywords are not required to supplement exact matches. The highest click through rate and cost per click is generated from the exact match.
11:52
Keyword Match Types: Negative Match
This lecture discusses in detail the negative match type. Negative match is more like a preventive measure in that it does not trigger ads. Negative match can be broad, phrase or exact match. Negative keywords use the minus (-) sign. Negative keyword match helps you to select which keywords you want to block your ads from appearing for.
12:18

Search Term Reports to Locate Negative Keywords: Part 2
I used a live account to show you how to use a search term report to find profitable negative keyword ideas for your products or services. Try optimizing your campaigns based on the order of importance; that is, the campaign that is spending the most money. Do not pay attention to search terms that have too few clicks because there is not enough data for you to conclude it as having the potential to be profitable.
17:17
Negative Keyword Lists
Negative keyword lists are the collection of keywords that you want to re-use for multiple campaigns not to repeat the same negative keywords for different campaigns. The most popular form of negative keyword list is the “account irrelevant” list. It consists of a list of keywords you don’t want your ads to show up for. The other types of negative keyword lists are discussed in this lecture.
11:55
Traffic Sculpting
Traffic sculpting, also known as funneling, is a technique of adding negative keywords to ad groups. It helps to get the most relevant ad copy for search, which in turn increases the quality score and return on investment but decreases the cost per click and the conversion rate. Ad serving issue occurs when certain keywords compete with each other due to variations in quality score, bid, and overall history.
18:10
Adding Negative Keywords
Negative keywords lists can only be added to the campaign levels, and therefore, ad group negatives can only be in ad group levels. To add individual negative keywords to ad groups, select keywords and targeting > Keywords Negative > Add Negative Keyword > select Ad group negative keyword or Campaign negative keyword > select the destination for the new negative keyword and click OK. Enter the negative keyword in the edit panel. It is also possible to add multiple negative keywords to an ad group and campaign.

06:15
Keyword Match Types: Phrase Match
Phrase match is a more flexible keyword matching option, and it is more targeted than the default broad match option. In phrase match, Google matches your ad only against keywords that include a phrase you designate.

06:30
Keyword Match Types: Exact Match

Negative keywords are not required to supplement exact matches. The highest click through rate and cost per click is generated from the exact match.
11:52
Keyword Match Types: Negative Match
This lecture discusses in detail the negative match type. Negative match is more like a preventive measure in that it does not trigger ads. Negative match can be broad, phrase or exact match.
