Negative keywords are a strategy, and strategies change as you grow your business

Negative Keywords
• Negatives aren’t permanent!– You can choose to remove a negative to test how
certain themes of traffic perform– Make sure your previous strategy aligns with your
current strategy & website
• Embedded Negatives– It’s time consuming but necessary if you are using a
multiple match type strategy

Agency Perspective

actually managing the campaigns.– Dig into change history– Find out if their goals are based on breaking even
or increasing an existing profit– Look for large holes in strategy that can be easily
fixed• Ex: Geo modified ad copy targeted nationally.
