Google has despatched out electronic mail notifications to some Google Advertisements advertisers about modifications taking place to the take away redundant key phrases suggestions. In brief, Google is increasing this advice to work throughout match varieties.
The notification says that Google is making “enhancements” to this advice sort, however I’m not positive that advertisers would name this an enchancment.
Google mentioned that presently, the “take away redundant key phrases” advice suggests redundant key phrases inside the identical advert teams, vacation spot, bidding technique, and match sort. However that’s altering; Google will now have this advice work throughout totally different match varieties. Google mentioned, “beginning January 19, the advice can embody key phrase throughout totally different match varieties.”
Google mentioned you possibly can view the match sort stories to see this by clicking on “Phase” on the “search key phrases” report after which by selecting “search phrases match sort.”
Google mentioned they’re making this transformation that will help you handle your accounts extra simply. Google mentioned “it does not negatively impression your efficiency, and nonetheless permits your adverts to look on the identical searches.”
The instance google supplied was in case your advert group has the phrase match key phrase “ladies’s hats” and broad match key phrase women hats, Google will suggest that you simply take away the part match key phrase because the broad match key phrase women hats covers all searches from “ladies’s hats.”
Clearly, Google needs you to go all in on broad match with these suggestions.
Robert Brady I imagine first posted about this on Twitter and mentioned, “Google Advertisements simply modified the “Take away redundant key phrases” advice to want broad match. It’s going to take away a phrase match or precise match key phrase if a broad match key phrase covers it.”
Right here is how among the PPC group feels about this transformation:
I’ll let you know what @GoogleAds present me the quantifiable optimistic impression of creating the modifications, and I’ll think about it. Identical goes for all of the rattling suggestions

On what planet does this make sense?

This needs to be a unique advice.
