Broad match keywords help reach a wider range of audience. As a result, the legitimacy of the traffic is questionable as your keywords gets matched to all queries under the sun. You may also miss out on converting an interested user because of displaying a very generic ad not meeting user expectation.
So, in order to make the most out of your prospect keyword and showing a more targeted ad to the user, create campaigns/ ad groups with the same keyword added as different match types. Further to avoid multiple keywords matching, prefer adding the exact match keyword as negative in phrase match type campaign and broad match type campaign, and phrase match type keyword as negative keyword in broad match type campaign. This step will help match a search query with only one keyword rather than multiple keywords and also the following:
- User experience is improved as your campaigns are targeted to match the ‘user search’ closely
- Matching the same search query to multiple keywords makes it difficult to show the right ad to the user
- You campaign performance is impacted as a result of improved conversions
- Your ads don’t end up competing with each other
Simplifying it with an example, for your keyword girl shoes, create separate campaign or ad groups with girl shoes added as broad, phrase and exact match type.
Subsequently, add keywords from your exact match type campaign and phrase match type campaign as negative keywords in broad match type campaign, shown in the image below:
And add keywords from exact match type campaign as negative keywords in phrase match type campaign.
Breakup of it further:
| Campaign | Keyword | Negative Keyword |
|---|---|---|
| Broad Match Type | Girl Shoes (Broad Match Type) | Girl Shoes (Phrase & Exact Match Type) |
| Phrase Match Type | Girl Shoes (Phrase Match Type) | Girl Shoes (Exact Match Type) |
| Exact Match Type | Girl Shoes (Exact Match Type) | – |
