The $50/Click Waste From Missing Negative Keywords - #167

Send us a text

Missing negative keywords creates budget leaks most firms never see. Here’s the theme-based framework that stopped our $50/click waste on competitor names and celebrity searches.

Wasted ad spend happens when you lack keyword theme organization across account, campaign, and ad group exclusions. Search term reports reveal budget leak prevention opportunities through competitor keyword blocking and irrelevant click prevention. P-Max campaign problems multiply without systematic negative keyword architecture—the "moat and bridge" method that protects every dollar.
