Google Ads script for exact match keywords

The Google Ads script "Make Exact Match Exact" that we publish here from Brainlabs (http://www.brainlabsdigital.com/adwords-scripts-reversing-the-exact-match-changes-from-google/), makes "exact match keywords" match exactly again by adding negative keywords. We have adapted the script from Brainlabs (V2.0) so it is easier to use and no changes in Google Ads Scripts code are necessary.

NO Google Ads Scripts knowledge is required - very easy to use. Just copy & paste!

 Functionality of the Google Ads Script for exact match keywords

 Recommendation for the use of the Google Ads Script for exact match keywords

1. In many cases it is NOT sensible to exclude variants and typing errors - either manually or by a script.
   When you add the exact match keyword [red color shoes], you will probably display ads even people search for red colour shoes.
2. Define 'campaign name contains' and 'ad group name contains' if possible for performance reasons. If not, the scripts looks for all ad groups just containing (active or paused) exact match keywords.
   Tip: Append e.g. [EXACT] to ad group names this script should append negative keywords to.
3. Because negative keywords are added as exact match the script excludes less search terms than possible (improvement opportunity:-) ). Currently you can manually change the match type to broad for most keywords to get better results. But pay attention!

 Configuring the script

 The Google Ads script ready for copy&past

Just copy this script and paste it into your Google Ads account. Rather than directly clicking below in the instructions to "Run script now", you can also first click on "Preview" and then choose the report. There it is listed which negative keywords are added where, when executing the script correctly.

If you want, you can still specify that the script, for example, runs daily at midnight automatically (recommended).
