One strategy to improve the performance of your Google ads campaign is to create a Negative Keywords List. It simplifies the process of applying common negative keywords to several campaigns. You can quickly compile a list of campaign-specific keywords and assign them with a single click.
To build a negative keywords list, you can check the search term report. This report will help to figure out the words for which you do not wish your ads to be triggered.
You have the choice of assigning the list to a single campaign or many campaigns. You can also organize these words by topics that are related to your services and products. Despite the fact that Google Ads has a limit of 5000 keywords per list and 20 lists per account, the figures are more than enough. You can occasionally add negative keywords to a list so it can be more manageable and totally in your control.

Log in to your Google ads account. Go to Tools & Settings. Under Shared Library, Click on the Negative Keyword List.
