Summary

In Search Ads (Shopping), a new “Negative Keyword List” feature will be added.
Multiple negative keywords (search terms you want to exclude) can be grouped into a list and applied to multiple campaigns at once. This is expected to reduce operational workload and improve usability.


  • Negative keyword lists can be associated with campaigns.
  • Up to 20 negative keyword lists can be created per account.
  • Up to 150 negative keywords can be registered in a single negative keyword list.
  • The number of negative keywords that can be registered per campaign will be changed as follows:
    • Up to 50 per match type → Up to 150 in total (regardless of match type)
Comments

“Negative keywords” that are individually set for campaigns and ad groups will continue to be available.
