Key Capabilities

  1. Campaign / Ad Group Level Control
    Apply negative keywords at either the campaign or ad group level.

    • Campaign-level negatives block unwanted search terms across all ad groups.

    • Ad group-level negatives give you fine-grained control for specific ad sets.

  2. Phrase and Exact Match Support
    Choose between phrase or exact match types when adding negative keywords.

    • Phrase match blocks any search containing the phrase.

    • Exact match blocks only that exact search term.

  3. Product- or Keyword-Level Selection
    Add exclusions based on either product ASINs (to block specific items) or keywords (to refine your keyword targeting).

  4. Create & Update Actions

    • Create → Used to add new negative keywords directly from search term insights.
      This helps you quickly stop irrelevant searches that waste ad budget.

    • Update → Lets you change the status of existing negative keywords — for example, marking them as Archived (to temporarily disable) or Enabled (to re-activate).

  5. Centralized Review Page
    After creation or updates, you can easily review, edit, or delete these entries anytime on the Negative Keywords page.
    This provides a full audit trail and keeps your targeting strategy organized.
