But marketers must be willing to risk a little extra time building keyword listings to understand how it works! Image: Phrase match In this business, there are four match types on Google Ads – Broad match, Phrase match, Exact match and Broad Match Modifier. By using these to your advantage, it can boost conversions. Broad match is when your ad will feature on a wider range of the search spectrum, since it is less restrictive.

Phrase match is a great way to build a specific campaign for a hyper-focussed group of small audiences. Although post-2014 Google Ads upgrades, phrase match keywords allow the search area for close variance. Therefore, it may not be a 100% match. So, try to employ negative keywords to bring about relevance to the campaign. Hence, the benefits of phrase match can boost CTR based on the use of high ranking keywords, traffic along with a good quality score. Exact Match – Its Benefits And Disadvantages: Often marketers choose to go with ‘exact match’ keywords. To acquire confirmed conversions, this would be the best method to drive traffic.

Nope, most marketers do not like to look into this matter! But it is an exercise one must carry out. Why? It gives significant insights into how expenses increase when using exact match type algorithms. Also, impressions are limited so it may not be a good idea for a new business entrant.

  6. However, it works miracles for big brands. They have deep pockets and the advantage of building a strategic framework to spend on exact match searches. There are minimal loses for top ranking dominant and authority sites. So, planning is crucial. Without it, do not even attempt to go in for exact match keywords. Broad Match – Its Benefits And Disadvantages: Online businesses base their goals on achieving maximum benefits from paid ad searches-which in turn helps control traffic. There are many benefits and disadvantages in such cases. Let’s start with the benefits first. Of the three types of keyword match types – broad match offers a wider range in search mechanism to get more conversions. The process is planned and strategically implemented only to draw traffic that will result in confirmed conversions.
