Match-typ Mayhem: How to automate your search term report as keyword close variants cause chaos

Gianluca Binelli

Recently, keyword match types rules have changed again extending same-meaning close variants to phrase match and broad match modifier. Not cool, right? We now have search terms that don’t match our keywords popping up all over the place. If you are already seeing an impact from this in your account you’ll be pleased to hear that we have some fast automated solutions to measure and fix the problems that this can cause. Our scripts not only enable you to measure the impact of search terms and keywords that appear in the wrong place in large accounts. On top of that, we will find search terms that could be matched to a better keyword and automatically suggest a negative keyword to send it there in future.
