Negative Keywords
When budgets are consumed by unrelated, informational, employment, or low-fit searches, the first task is to exclude patterns that cannot produce a useful customer outcome. We review search terms, shared exclusions, campaign context, location intent, and sales feedback, then review the findings with your team. That gives the next change a clear reason instead of adding more activity without checking its value. End each review with a named next step.
Define accepted leads with the sales team and review the difference between raw forms and worthwhile inquiries. Use that feedback in later decisions. Distinguish customer actions from activity that only looks busy.
A fair test
Change a defined part of the message, audience, or page and state the success measure in advance. Account for conversion delay before comparing results. Check that a visitor can find the next action without guessing.
Platform attribution and analytics may credit conversions differently. Compare costs and customer records, and state which conversion definition the report uses. Review outcomes alongside cost, effort, and customer quality.
