Keywords and How They Affect Paid Advertising<\/span><\/h2>\n

What are keywords?<\/b> Keywords are the words and phrases that shoppers enter into search engines when they’re looking for products or services like yours. These terms are the lifeline of your paid advertising campaigns. You place bids on certain keywords, and then Google promotes your ad on user search queries that relate to those keywords.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If they click on the ad, Google charges your payment method for that click. Keywords with more users placing higher bids have a higher cost-per-click, while keywords with less demand have a lower cost. This adds another dimension to keyword strategy, depending on your ad goals. If you\u2019re selling a product, you want to target the lowest-cost keywords with the best likelihood of leading to a conversion \u2013 the user buying your product after clicking on the ad.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Keywords vs. Search Queries<\/span><\/h3>\n

While often used interchangeably, keywords and search queries are not the same. Keywords are conceptual targets for marketing, representing the terms we expect users to search for. Search queries, on the other hand, are the actual words that users enter into search engines. While keywords and search queries can be exact matches, the keywords you target don\u2019t have to be exact matches to show up in a search query.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This element of keyword selection is a double-edged sword. Ads targeting broad phrases like \u201cauto parts\u201d can appear on a wide range of search queries, which can help you generate more leads. However, they can also cover specific keywords such as \u201caftermarket auto parts\u201d or \u201cauto parts Kentucky\u201d that might not cover your product offerings. When you\u2019re deciding which keywords to bid for, you need to keep search intent, the purpose behind a person’s query, in mind to target your keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n

Negative Keywords<\/span><\/h3>\n

Negative keywords are terms for which you specifically do not want your ads to appear. In an ad campaign for auto parts, excluding terms like “used” or specific brands you don\u2019t sell can exclude unwanted traffic. This makes negative keywords a valuable tool for increasing the precision of your targeting, cutting your ad costs, and generating more qualified leads.<\/span><\/p>\n
