Have You Used Broad Match Modifier in AdWords?

I have a confession. I have not used the new broad match modifier available in Google AdWords yet. Each time I think I am going to test, I hesitate because I don’t feel as if I understand it.

Search Engine Land walks through a broad match case study, which really helped explain the modifier.

Google has a great tutorial on implementing the broad match modifier.

If practice makes perfect, let’s run through an example using LFI:

Current campaign: “leapfrog interactive marketing”

Broad match: +leapfrog +interactive +marketing

Result: Increase clicks and impressions

 

Current campaign: digital agency

Broad match: +digital agency

Result: Improved ROI

 

Current campaign: PPC company

Broad match: +PPC company

Result: Improved ROI

    Hi Christy,

    It's definitely worth testing. I recently did some analysis on modified broad match keywords and found that modified broad match can significantly increases CTRs and reduce CPCs:

    Guess any new strategy should be tested and optimised thoroughly for it to work effectively.

    Hey Olaf,

    I also found that these results were generally greater for keywords with a greater amount of broad match modification.

    Thought this may be of interest to your readers.
