Furthermore, you can categorize these keywords based on themes relevant to your services and products. It&#8217;s worth noting that while Google Ads imposes a limit of 5000 keywords per list and 20 lists per account, these numbers are generally ample. Additionally, you can periodically include new negative keywords within a list to maintain its manageability and retain full control over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Creating Negative Keywords List In Google Ads - Karooya\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UJPEd92HxDI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-create-negative-keyword-list\"><strong>How to Create Negative Keyword List<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Log in to your Google ads account.
