  1. Last week, Google announced the expansion of exact match close variants. The exact match expansion broadened what counts as an exact match. Now, aside from the exact keywords, it also includes the intent of the keywords when it triggers ads for searches. How does Google’s exact match expansion affect you? This article aims to provide an insight on how you are impacted by the recent exact match update. Quick Recall! As mentioned in a previous article, Google defines exact match as a “keyword setting that allows your ad to show only when someone searches for your keyword or close variants of your keyword.” Exact match allows people to connect to your business even if there are slight variations in their query.

Since Google has loosened the definition of exact match with this expansion, it will also trigger the ads when the machine learning systems believe the intent of the searcher matches the keyword of the advertiser. This means that exact match will now also show ads on searchers with terms that have the same meaning and intent of the query of the keyword. It is advisable for advertisers to pay attention to the changes in the search term reports of their exact match keywords. How to know the impact of exact match expansion on your account? According to Search Engine Journal, there are three ways you can use to assess the exact match expansion on your account: Use the ads interface for investigation Use spreadsheets for analysis Use Google Ads Scripts for analysis
