Solution for AdWords Exact Match Close Variants

Get your Exact Match keywords behave the way you meant it

The exact and phrase match types in Google AdWords have changed forever. These two match types will now also include close variants like stemmings, singular/plural forms, misspellings, accents, etc. As per Google, including variants brings at least 7% more clicks.

Do you manage an Adwords account that is affected by this change? If yes, we have a solution that will put the control back in your hands.

Let's start with some basics that you are already familiar with. The only way to avoid variants being matched is to include the variants as adgroup level negative keywords. Here is an example which shows the keyword and the adgroup level negatives to get the desired control.

Keyword : [blue widget]
Ad-group negative keywords (Broad): widgets, widgetry, widgety, widgeter, blued

But, identifying the variants from Search Terms Report (STR, earlier known as Search Query Report or SQR) is a manual, time-consuming and, arguably, error-prone method.
