Negative keywords are a type of keyword used in Google Ads that help to prevent your ads from showing up for irrelevant or unrelated searches. Negative keywords are essentially the opposite of regular keywords, as they tell Google not to display your ad when certain words or phrases are included in a search query.
Types of negative keywords in Google Ads include:
-
Exact Match: This is where the negative keyword is an exact match for the search query, and will only block ads from showing up for that specific phrase.
-
Phrase Match: This is where the negative keyword will block ads from showing up for any search query that includes the exact phrase or a variation of the phrase.
-
Broad Match: This is where the negative keyword will block ads from showing up for any search query that includes any of the words in the keyword, regardless of the order.
