GLOSSARY

What is negative keyword?

DEFINITION

A negative keyword is a word or phrase that stops your ad appearing for searches that contain it. It is the main tool for cutting wasted spend.

Google states negatives do not automatically cover synonyms or plurals, so you add those yourself. Build the list from the search terms report, and review it weekly.
