Advanced Tactics AMSTERDAM

Tactic #1 Separating ad-groups by match type AMSTERDAM

Separating ad-groups by match type Start by attaching a pause keyword rule. Pause all keywords the don’t fit the match type you want in the ad-group Add an ‘exclude keyword’ rule – add all the keyword that you just pause to the negative keyword list (in exact match) AMSTERDAM

Separating ad-groups by match type AMSTERDAM

Sounds Complicated? The amazing adCore team has already prepared the bundle for you! It’s called ‘ad-group by keyword match type’ and its waiting for you in the automation bundles AMSTERDAM

Tactic #2 Adding search terms to ad-groups with no DKI Find the right ad-group - You can decide where the search terms go. Add them to an ad-group without a DKI. AMSTERDAM

An Example Add a rule – add search terms. Make sure you don’t add the search terms to an ad-group with a DKI

Or you might get this result… AMSTERDAM Of course we wrote the rule for you! It’s called ‘Add Search Terms to Ad-Group W/ No DKI’

Secret backdoor Adding search terms without the keyword bid simply add In the requirement: ('setBidToNull' = 'setBidToNull') AMSTERDAM

Use the Different Setting to Your Advantage Semi-automated - When you want to keep a lot of control/need to report to clients on changes you are making/ start with semi and move over. Auto- don’t want to approve changes everyday/trust adCore to make the canges for you. AMSTERDAM
