Add keywords

30/11/2019

Adding the right keywords helps you show your ads to the customers you want, when you want.

This article shows you how to add keywords to your ad groups for Search or Display/video campaigns. You may want to begin by learning more About keywords.

Choosing match types for Search campaign keywords

When you add a keyword to ad groups for search campaigns, you can choose the match type you want by entering the keyword in one of the following formats. 

  • For broad match, enter keywords with no formatting (for example, women’s hats)
  • For broad match modifier, enter keywords with a + before the modified terms (for example,  +women's +hats)
  • For phrase match, enter keywords in quotations (for example, "women's hats")
  • For exact match, enter keywords in brackets (for example, [women's hats])

Using symbols in keywords

You can use two symbols, ampersands (&) and accent marks (á), in your keywords. Keywords with these symbols are considered two different keywords, like sidewalk cafe and sidewalk café.

Here are some of the symbols that our system doesn't recognize:

  • Ignored symbols: You can add periods (.) or dashes (-) to your keywords, but these symbols will be ignored. That means the keywords Fifth Ave. and Fifth Ave, for example, are considered identical keywords.
  • Invalid symbols: You'll see an error message if you add keywords that contain certain symbols. Some of the symbols that can't be used in your keywords are: , ! @ % ^ * () = {} ; ~ ` <> ? \ |
  • Site and search operators: The "site:" operator will be removed from your keywords. That means if you add the keyword [site:www.example.com dark chocolate], it’ll be considered the same as [dark chocolate]. Search operators will also be ignored. For example, if you add the search operator "OR" to the keyword dark chocolate, like OR dark chocolate, the "OR" command will be ignored and your keyword will be just dark chocolate.
