Negative keywords let you exclude search terms from your campaigns and help you focus on only the keywords that matter to your organization. For example, if your organization bids on “learn to speak english videos,” we recommend adding an exact match negative keyword like “video” to prevent your ad from showing for searches too broad to reflect your mission.
