From connecting your account to publishing your negative keyword list, here's how the negative keyword finder works step by step.
Choose a project that has Google Ads connected. The project determines which Google Ads account and campaigns are available for analysis.
Choose one or more campaigns to analyze for irrelevant search terms. Search terms from all selected campaigns are processed together.
Set the run frequency (one-time, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly), search term filters, default match type, publish destination, and whether to auto-apply or require manual approval.
Configure email notifications for when reports complete. Choose which team members receive alerts and set notification frequency.
The negative keyword finder pulls search term data from your campaigns along with your ad content and landing page content. AI analyzes all three together to accurately score each term's relevance to your business. Irrelevant terms are added to your negative keyword list as candidates for review.
Review AI recommendations, adjust match types, and uncheck any terms you want to keep. Publish approved negative keywords directly to your campaigns or ad groups with one click.
Here's what the negative keyword list generator produces. Each search term is scored by irrelevance with a clear explanation of why it was flagged.

This is an example with sample data. Your actual report will reflect your Google Ads search terms.
Customize the negative keywords tool to match your workflow. Control how the finder analyzes search terms and generates your negative keyword list.
Choose how often the automation runs: one-time, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Weekly is recommended for most campaigns.
Set minimum impressions, maximum conversions, and maximum CTR thresholds to focus on the right search terms. Optionally limit the number of terms analyzed.
Set the default match type for negative keywords: phrase, exact, or broad. You can change individual match types before publishing.
Apply negative keywords at the ad group level for granular control, or at the campaign level for broader blocking.
When enabled, negative keywords are applied automatically without approval. When off, you review and approve suggestions before they're published. Manual review is recommended.
Optionally cap how many search terms are analyzed per run. This controls credit usage - each term costs 5 credits to analyze.
Get alerts when reports complete. Choose frequency (every run, weekly summary, or monthly summary) and add team members or external recipients.
Remove a search term from the negative keywords list and the AI learns from your feedback, avoiding similar recommendations in future reports.
