# Broad match keyword setting

Alert name: Campaigns have an enabled broad match keyword setting

When enabled, broad match settings prevent the use of other match types in your campaigns. Turning this setting off gives you more control over your keyword targeting.

Once this alert is triggered, and since the setting can't be changed via the API, you’ll need to update it directly in Google Ads.
