Notes in Adalysis help you stay organized by recording reminders or context for team members. Access Notes from the vertical menu. Notes are visible across the interface, except for the Accounts overview.

You can snooze, edit, or delete notes. For example, snooze reminders until they’re relevant, and they’ll reappear on the set day.

Add notes directly to campaigns, ads, or other platform sections by clicking the note icon. These notes are visible at specific levels and also appear under Notes for easy reference.

Paused campaigns are not included in any of the Adalysis audits or analysis. You can, however, follow the below steps to include them if needed.

Assigning an Adalysis-specific label to those campaigns keeps them enabled only within Adalysis (while they remain paused in Google Ads).

Scenario 1 — Campaign is paused after it was linked to Adalysis

1. Enable the campaign within Adalysis and assign the label AdalysisKeepEnabled to it.

2. Pause the campaign in Google Ads.

Scenario 2 — Paused campaign isn't yet linked to Adalysis

1. Enable the campaign in Google Ads.

2. Switch to the Campaigns screen in Adalysis and click Link missing campaigns. The campaign should now appear in Adalysis.

3. Assign the label AdalysisKeepEnabled to the campaign. .

4. Pause the campaign in Google Ads.

To configure your email and Slack notifications, go to the bottom-left menu and choose Notifications.

Here you can:

• Choose which Google Ads accounts you want to receive notifications for.

Account tags and filters

Adalysis tags work exactly like Google account labels, but without the visibility challenges. Use account tags and filters to easily pull up specific sets of accounts.

Find out more

These are one-time setup tasks we recommend completing during onboarding, but you can always tweak them later as your team grows or changes.

To see your Adalysis change log, go to My account in the bottom-left menu. Then, select Change history.

Adalysis notifications can be sent via email and/or Slack. The settings can be accessed from Notifications in the bottom-left menu.

To integrate Slack with Adalysis, use the Connect option on that screen. You'll be redirected to Slack where you need to choose the relevant channel and grant Adalysis access.

To see your Adalysis login history, go to the Teams screen.

Tags are an Adalysis configuration that you won't find in Google Ads or Microsoft Ads. They work in exactly the same way as Google account labels, but they get around the visibility challenges Google labels have.

Creating & assigning an account tag

To create and apply a tag to an account, select the account and click the account tags icon on any overview screen. You can then use account filters to find accounts with specific tags.

For example, team leads might create a tag for each PPC analyst in their team. During one-to-ones or account reviews, this makes it easy to pull up the accounts that analyst is responsible for.

Once a tag is associated with an account (as shown above) you can filter for all accounts with that specific tag.

To change your login email address, go to My account.

The Search network consists of users actively searching for goods, services, and information. This clear intent allows your search ads to focus on presenting options and encouraging users to take action.

The Display network is made of up publisher sites that show ads. The user's primary purpose on that page is to watch a video or read an article. Your ad must grab their attention and persuade them to visit your site.

As the user intent and the networks are so different from each other, it's best to run your ads only on Search or only on the Display network.

When you have a campaign running on both networks, you will see an alert under Campaigns on your Audit > Alerts screen. To change your settings, select the campaign(s) and click Run on the Search Network only.

All data in Adalysis is updated daily (at around 4 am in the account's time zone) except for keywords, search terms, and landing pages, which are updated once a week.

However, for the data that's refreshed weekly, you can run an on-demand update anytime by clicking the Last update button.

User location targeting controls whether your ad is shown to:

1. Customers who are physically in your target location

2. Customers who are in your target location, as well as customers who express an interest in that location. For example, if Chicago is your target location, this could be a user from outside Chicago searching for [keyword] in Chicago.

If Adalysis detects a significant difference in the CPA of these two groups of customers, you'll see an alert. By default, a 25% difference in the last 30 days will trigger an alert.

View the performance data straight from your alert to decide if you want to exclude users who aren't physically in your target location.

You can also customize your alert under Audit > Settings > Campaigns.

You can link/unlink accounts from the Custom view, both during the free trial or your paid subscription. Click the link icon on any overview screen.

Linking accounts that belong to different email addresses

If you have Google Ads accounts or MCCs under different email addresses, then you'll need one Adalysis account for each address. There's no extra charge for having multiple Adalysis accounts. Once combined for billing purposes, you simply pay one bill based on the total spend of all your Adalysis accounts.

To create a new Adalysis using another email address, simply start a new . Once that's done, please combine the billing of the new Adalysis account as described .

Prebuilt audit filters

On your Audit view, use the filters under Find accounts by alert type to quickly find all accounts with a specific alert type, e.g. search terms to be added as keywords.

Define your own filters

You can also create your own filters to find accounts with specific names, labels or tags. For example, some PPC teams tag each account with the name of the analyst responsible for it. This makes it easy to filter and review each team member's work.

Save your filter to reuse it later. Once saved, it will appear under Your filters.

Click on a saved filter to open it and display the relevant accounts.

You can give your team access to one or more of the Google Ads accounts linked to Adalysis. They can then log in to Adalysis using their own email addresses.

Team members can have access either at the MCC level or to selected individual accounts.

You can choose between two access levels:

• View-only — team members can see all data but can’t make changes

• View & edit — team members can use tools and make changes in Adalysis

Combined with and , this flexible setup helps team leads keep an easy overview. It supports collaboration while keeping responsibilities clear.

Apply your preferred settings automatically to all new accounts linked to Adalysis. This builds a consistent yet tailored approach for your whole team. You can find the Global template under Settings in the bottom-left menu.

Here are the settings you can add to the global template:

Performance monitors

When creating a performance monitor, you can also add it to the global settings template. To update existing accounts, use the Apply to other accounts option.

Customized alerts and automatic actions

When customizing an alert, you can also add it to the global settings template. Saving customized alert settings in the global template means they'll automatically be applied to newly linked accounts.

Disabled alerts

When you snooze/disable an alert, you can add this choice to the global settings template, too.

When linking a new account to Adalysis, it's likely you'll want to customize its settings.

Automatically apply your preferred settings

The easiest way to customize new accounts is the . All the settings you save in the template will appear automatically in the newly linked account without any further steps. These settings include:

• Performance monitors

• Modified prebuilt alerts (and automatic actions)

• Disabled prebuilt alerts

Manually copy your preferred settings

Don't have a global template yet? You can also apply your settings to the new account as follows:

Performance monitors: To copy a monitor from an existing account to the new one, simply use the available in all existing monitors.

Prebuilt alerts: To copy the settings of a prebuilt alert in an existing account, navigate to that account setting and simply click on the Save changes button again. You can then see copy the setting to the new account:

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.

Adalysis will show an alert under Audit > Alerts > Campaigns if you’re using the broad match keyword setting in your campaign. Click on it for a list of affected campaigns.

Since the setting can't be changed via the API, you’ll need to update it directly in Google Ads.

Google can show your search campaigns across two areas:

1. Google Search: Ads appear on Google-owned properties like Google.com, Google.co.uk, and similar domains across countries and properties.

2. Search Partners: Ads can appear on non-Google-owned and Google-affiliated sites, including YouTube, Google Local, directories, and other pages related to user searches.

While some campaigns perform well on Search Partner sites, others may struggle due to ads being triggered on non-search sites, like directories displaying products. This can lead to lower performance compared to Google Search.

Adalysis helps you track performance differences between Google Search and Search Partners. If your Search Partner data is significantly worse, you'll see an alert allowing you to disable the search partner network.

You can customize your alert under Audit > Settings > Campaigns.

If this alert is triggered, you can view your performance data straight from the audit screen. You can then decide whether to click Disable Search Partners network.

Create your own custom alerts using the flexible rule engine under Audit > Settings. For example, you may want to create a custom alert to flag keywords with a CPC or CPA above your target value, or ad groups with significantly higher ROAS than others in the same campaign.

Creating a custom alert

Start on the Audit > Settings screen.

Alerts are grouped around entities used in Google Ads (such as campaigns, ad groups, and keywords). Choose the entity you want to create an alert for and click Add new custom alert to define your criteria.

Click Save and you can choose to create this custom alert for other accounts at the same time.

Viewing triggered custom alerts

When your alert is triggered, you'll be notified in the Custom alerts column of your Accounts overview. Click the column header to sort by the number of alerts.

You can also see custom alerts on your Audit > Alerts screen.

When auto-apply settings are enabled, Google can make changes to your Ads account without notifying you. If Adalysis detects this, it will show an audit alert listing the enabled changes, like automatic RSA creation, switching keywords to broad match, or adjusting bids.

Sometimes, the alert shows "various" if the specific settings aren’t visible via the API. Since these settings can’t be changed in Adalysis, you’ll need to update them directly in Google Ads:

1. Open Recommendations > Auto apply in your Google Ads account.

2. Uncheck any settings you don’t want applied automatically.

Adalysis helps you to automate repetitive tasks, freeing up your time for more valuable work. You can define automatic actions for your alerts under Audit > Settings.

For example, you can automatically add highly converting search terms as keywords. You can also automatically add poorly converting search terms as negative keywords. It's like putting your keyword mining on auto-pilot.

Enabling automatic actions

Navigate to the relevant alert in Audit > Settings and look for the Automatic action section within the relevant alert.

Viewing a log of automatic actions

We log all automatic actions for you to view and reverse, if needed. You can find the log on the Audit > Alerts screen:

Most automatic actions provide the ability to revert back the change should you want to do so.

Popular automatic actions used by Adalysis customers

Google automatically opts advertisers in for automatic text asset creation. This means that Google can adjust your ads without your direct input, giving you less control over your ad messaging.

You'll see an alert in Adalysis (under Audit > Alerts > Campaigns) if Google is automatically creating ads or assets for your campaigns. Click on it for a list of affected campaigns.

Since this setting can't be changed via the API, you’ll need to update it directly in Google Ads:

Google may make some recommendations in your account, which it uses to calculate its Optimization score.

Adalysis now alerts you to these recommendations and lets you dismiss them directly within Adalysis.

One size doesn't fit all. To get the most out of Adalysis, we recommend you customize it to fit your systems, team structures, and preferences. This will ensure the platform integrates seamlessly into your existing workflows.

How it works

Adalysis offers 100+ prebuilt audit alerts to help you monitor account health and performance. You can customize the audit checks or create your own. Combined with automatic fixes, this means your team can save valuable time on repetitive tasks.

Customize prebuilt alerts

You can find the alerts in Audit > Settings and the Prebuilt alert list. These alerts are active by default, but you can snooze or disable any that aren’t relevant to your workflow.

Audit thresholds

You can adjust many audit checks for your accounts and strategy. For example, with the Keywords with poor conversions alert, you can set your own thresholds for date range, click volume, and conversion volume.

Create custom alerts

If there are specific audit checks your team relies on that aren’t covered by the prebuilt alerts, you can build your own. Custom alerts let you tailor the audit process even further to your agency’s strategy and priorities. Here are some common examples:

• Campaign CPA or ROAS trending in the wrong direction

• Budget increases when a performance threshold is crossed

• Keywords failing to meet minimum performance thresholds

You can also add automatic actions and notifications to your custom alerts.

We’ve prebuilt 100+ alerts for all the most common audit issues, so you don’t have to spend hours on setup. However, you can still fully customize your audit parameters.

Update or disable prebuilt alerts from Audit > Settings. Alerts are grouped around entities used in Google Ads (such as campaigns, ad groups, and keywords).

Customizing the default settings

Adalysis uses default metrics and thresholds when running prebuilt audit checks. Of course, the defaults won't be equally suitable for every account or strategy. We recommend reviewing and customizing the default settings where appropriate.

For example, if you manage an account with low traffic, you may want to receive keyword bid recommendations after 25, rather than 50 clicks. You may also want to consider data from the last 90 days as opposed to the last 30 days.

Here's how you can customize an alert:

• Change, add, or remove alert criteria.

• View current results to preview your changes.

• To revert back to the default settings, click Reset to default.

Customized alerts have a grey Customized label in the audit settings. The updated settings will apply to all future alerts. Alerts already generated that day won’t update immediately.

Switch off unwanted alerts

Not all alerts will be relevant to all accounts. For example, the alert about ad groups with only one ad might not be needed in some cases. To turn off an alert, simply switch the toggle next to its title in the list.

Adalysis has a powerful system of filters that can help you to slice and dice your data. Look out for them throughout the platform, as well as on the Accounts overview. You can customize all the filters in Adalysis or build your own.

Customizing filters

Load the filter you’d like to edit and update the criteria. Click Apply to update your search results.

Alternatively, click Save to update the criteria for future searches. Customized filters show an icon next to the name. To revert back to the default settings, simply click Reset to default.

Building new filters

You can easily create custom filters and alerts to track more conditions:

1. Go to Filters > Create filter.

2. Set your criteria.

3. Select the time range you want to analyze data for.

4. Enter a name for your filter. To receive custom alerts, check Enable alerts. You can also choose multiple accounts to save your filter in.

Your new filter will now appear in the Filters list for the Adalysis section where you created it. Simply scroll down to Your filters at the end of the list.

Accounts overview filters

On the Accounts overview screen, you can also filter your list of linked accounts. For example, you can filter for accounts that have a specific alert.

Adalysis audits help you stay on top of account health and performance. We’ve prebuilt 100+ alerts for all the most common issues, so you don’t have to spend hours on setup.

You can also with our rule engine to cover your accounts' specific needs.

To improve the CTR of your ads, we recommend reviewing the affected ad groups to ensure the ad copy is engaging and relevant for recent search terms. You could also consider the following causes:

• Your ads are being shown for new search terms that are less relevant than previous ones.

• Changes in targeting mean the ads are reaching a less relevant audience.

Investigating the performance trend

For manual bidding campaigns, use the to identify the factors behind the increased cost/conversion. This may include a low conversion rate or high CPC. Look at related metrics such as impression share and conversion volume before deciding to decrease bids.

In campaigns with automated bidding, we recommend separating poorly performing keywords into different ad groups or campaigns, in bulk. This means you can set different target values.

Adalysis will alert you to keywords that aren't converting well. By default, this is based on zero conversions and 150 clicks in the last 30 days.

You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. You can then pause the keywords straight from the alert or click View keywords.

Investigating CPA trends

Use the to see how the rising CPA affects your conversion volume and other important metrics. You can then decide whether to change bids for the affected keywords.

Possible causes of a rising CPA may include:

• Rising CPC — this may be due to decreased quality scores, changes in competition or targeting

• Decreasing conversion rate

Adalysis will alert you to landing pages that aren't converting well. By default, this is based on zero conversions and 150 clicks in the last 90 days.

You'll see the alert under Landing pages on your Audit > Alerts screen.

Click View landing pages for a list of affected pages and performance data. The keywords driving traffic are categorized by their landing page experience score. This will help you determine whether to focus your efforts on changing the keywords, ads, or landing page content.

You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it to see a list of affected keywords and CPC metrics.

Customizing your alert

By default, Adalysis will check for keywords with an average CPC increase of over 30%. It compares the last seven days to the last 30 days. Go to Audit > Settings > Keywords to change these conditions and set click thresholds for the alert.

Investigating CPC trends

Use the Performance Analyzer to see how the rising CPC affects your conversion volume and cost per conversion. You can then decide whether to change bids for the affected keywords.

Possible causes of a rising CPC may include:

• Fluctuations in your quality score — this may be due to recent changes to your ads or landing pages

• Recent changes in the competitive landscape

• Recent changes in targeting

Adalysis will alert you to high-volume keywords with significant quality score drops. By default, this is based on 100+ impressions in the last seven days and a negative quality score trend. However, you can edit these thresholds in Audit > Settings > Keywords.

You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected keywords and quality score data.

Adalysis will alert you to any ad groups that have more than 3 active ads.

You'll see the alert under Ad groups on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list or to pause unneeded ads.

Pause ads in bulk

Based on the list provided, you can reduce the number of ads in multiple ad groups at once. Please use the bulk tool under Tools > Pause ads. With Adalysis, you can:

• Pause a number of the worst-performing ads in each ad group, based on a specific performance metric.

• Leave only a specific number of ads in each ad group, pausing the worst performers.

• Pause all duplicate ads or all ads in selected ad groups at once.

With these options, you can skip ads based on their type (RSA, DSA, etc.) or a pre-assigned label.

Pause ads individually

To pause ads individually, click on the ad group name, then select and pause the ads.

Adalysis alerts you to any disapproved image ads. You'll see the alert under Ads on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected ads.

Ad relevance is part of Google's quality score. Adalysis will alert you to high-volume keywords in an ad group with mixed relevance ratings — some above-average and some below-average. (We've defined high-volume as 100+ impressions in the last 30 days.)

This is because it suggests the below-average keywords aren't as relevant to the ads as the above-average ones in that ad group. For example, if the below-average keywords include the word “agent” but the above-average ones don’t, this mismatch might explain the poor ad relevance.

To improve relevance, move the below-average keywords into a different ad group and create more tailored ad copy.

Viewing the ad groups and keywords

You'll see the alert under Ad groups on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected ad groups.

The view will switch to Manage > Ad groups. Click an ad group name to see your ad copy and switch to Manage > Keywords to review your keywords.

Color coding: above average and below average ad relevance.

Moving your keywords

You can move one or more keywords to a new ad group by selecting them and clicking Tools > Move/Copy. Then choose whether to move the keywords to an existing ad group or to create a new one.

Adalysis will alert you if any of your negative keywords (at the list, campaign, or ad group level) use modified broad match. This match type isn't supported for negative keywords and can lead to inconsistent results.

You'll see the alert under Negative keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected negative keywords.

To resolve this alert, simply select the keywords you want to change and click Fix match type.

For manual bidding campaigns, Adalysis will alert you if your conversion value/cost (i.e. return on ad spend, ROAS) of your keywords decreases despite no recent bid changes. This gives you the chance to analyze the results and pinpoint the reasons.

You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it to see a list of affected keywords and ROAS metrics.

Customizing your alert

By default, Adalysis will check for keywords with a ROAS decrease of over 30%. It compares the last seven days to the last 30 days. Go to Audit > Settings to change these conditions and set conversion value thresholds for the alert.

You can also choose whether to track ROAS based on conversion value/cost or all conversion value/cost.

Investigating ROAS trends

Use the Performance Analyzer to see how the falling ROAS affects your conversion volume and cost per conversion. You can then decide whether to change bids for the affected keywords.

Possible causes of a falling ROAS may include:

• Rising CPC — this may be due to decreased quality scores, changes in competition or targeting

• Decreased conversion rate leading to fewer conversions

• Decreased average conversion value

Negative keywords are one of the most effective ways to minimize irrelevant traffic to your website. Adalysis will alert you to campaigns without negative keywords.

You'll see the alert under Negative keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected campaigns.

You can then add a negative keyword list straight from the alert, or add poorly performing search terms as negatives (see below).

Add poorly converting search terms as negative keywords

Use the prebuilt Ad groups with low quality score filter to quickly identify the ad groups that need the most attention. Go to Ad groups under Manage and select the filter from the list.

Sort the list in priority order by clicking the Quality score priority column. This is an impression-weighted metric based on the ad group's quality score and cost. We would recommend starting with priority 1.

You'll also have access to comprehensive quality score data, including subfactors. Review the data to identify to improve your results.

Adalysis analyzes your search term data and identifies high-performing search terms as potential new keywords. You'll see the alert under Search terms on your Audit > Alerts screen.

Step 1

From your alert, you can either add the identified search terms as keywords. You can also click View search terms for a list of potential new keywords. The view will then switch to Manage > Search Terms.

Step 2

To add the search terms as exact match keywords, select them and click Add as keyword. You can then choose from existing ad groups or create a new one.

You can modify the keyword text and other parameters before creating your new keywords.

Adalysis will alert you to ad groups with no active keywords. (This excludes DSAs.) You'll see the alert under Ad groups on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it to pause ad groups in bulk or to see a list.

Based on the list, you can also select and pause individual ad groups by updating their Status.

Adalysis will alert you to potential negative keywords from your search terms data. You'll see the alert under Search terms on your Audit > Alerts screen.

Step 1

From your alert, click View search terms for a list of potential negative keywords. The view will switch to Manage > Search Terms.

Step 2

To add a search term as a negative keyword, select it and click Add as negative keyword. You can also add search terms in bulk by selecting them all at once.

You can modify the keyword text and other parameters before creating your new negatives. Adalysis will flag if there's a potential conflict with your existing (positive/regular) keywords.

Adalysis will alert you if search terms have been shown from two or more ad groups. This is an opportunity to improve your ad serving control.

You'll see the alerts under Search terms on your Audit > Alerts screen, with separate notifications for Search and Shopping campaigns.

Find duplicate search terms

Click on the alert to see sets of duplicate terms, as well as the cannibalization rate. This indicates how significantly the impressions for a search term are diluted across different ad groups. The higher the cannibalization rate, the more attention you should pay to those terms.

Then, click on a search term to view the affected ad groups or choose Expand all.

Fix duplication issues

To resolve this issue, add search terms as negatives to the less relevant/efficient ad groups. As well as performance metrics, we recommend looking at these three columns:

Added as keyword?

For Search campaigns, this column shows if the keyword already exists in this ad group. Hover over Yes for the keyword match type. If the search term hasn't been added to any of the ad groups yet, click the plus icon next to the most relevant ad group.

Matched keywords

This column shows you which keywords and ads were triggered for the search term, as well as performance and quality score data. The data can help you decide whether to add the search term as a negative keyword to any of the ad groups it was triggering.

Add as negative

Click the icon in the Add as negative keyword column to add the search terms to your negative keyword list. This opens a preview.

By default, the chosen search terms will be added as exact-match negative keywords at the ad group level. However, you can change the match type and level as needed. Once your negative keyword list is ready, click Add negative keywords.

Adalysis will also alert you to potential conflicts between negative and regular keywords in an ad group (in the same match type). Click the ad group name to remove the conflicting keywords.

Resolve duplicate search terms in bulk

You can also add duplicate search terms as negative keywords in bulk.

1. Select your duplicate sets and click Add as a negative keyword the duplicate search term.

2. Select your preferred criteria. For example, you may want to add your new negative keywords to ad groups with the lowest CTR or fewest conversions.

Adalysis will alert you to duplicate or very similar keywords. This means you can control where clicks should go in the future.

You'll see one of two alerts under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen:

Alert 1: Duplicate keywords within a campaign. This means keywords may be competing against each other.

Alert 2: Similar broad match keywords within an ad group: This makes optimization more difficult, because the data gets diluted between the keywords.

Find duplicate or similar keywords

Click the alert for a list of affected keywords. Then, click on a keyword set for more details or choose Expand all.

Pause or delete your keywords

We recommend only leaving the most relevant keywords to run for each set. For individual keywords, click the symbols next to the checkboxes.

Alternatively, you can solve duplicate keyword issues in bulk. Select a set of duplicates / similar keywords and click the Similar keyword bulk pause tool (in the alert for similar keywords) or Duplicate keyword bulk pause tool (in the alert for duplicate keywords).

You can then select your criteria for which keywords to pause. For example, keywords with the lowest impressions, conversion rate, or the highest first-page bid.

When keywords get paused, it can potentially leave an ad group with no keywords. You can choose to pause such ad groups to make account maintenance easier.

Adalysis will alert you to keywords with a lower cost per conversion compared to their ad group. You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected keywords, with cost per conversion and impression share data.

Customizing your alert

Go to your Audit > Settings > Keywords to change these conditions and set custom conversion thresholds for the alert. You can also choose whether to track results based on cost per conversion or all cost/conversion.

You may choose to increase bids (if you're using a manual strategy) or move top-performing keywords to their own ad groups or campaigns for better control. This will allow you to capitalize on the opportunity to boost impression share and conversions.

Adalysis will alert you to any disapproved keywords. You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected keywords.

1. You can see the disapproval reason by clicking the eye symbol.

2. Select several keywords to pause them in bulk or delete them using the buttons at the top of the list.

3. You can also fix individual keywords by clicking on the pencil icon:

Adalysis will alert you to negative keywords (ad group, campaign, or list-level) that are blocking a regular keyword.

You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of keyword conflicts.

• You can see the matched search terms for each keyword by clicking on the icons in the Matched search terms column.

• Use the toggle Show last 30 days performance to see performance metrics and quality scores.

Resolving keyword conflicts

To fix a keyword conflict, start by selecting the keywords.

Option 1 — Delete negative keywords

This is the best option if you realize that the negative keyword was added by mistake or at the wrong level (e.g., at the campaign level instead of the ad group level).

Option 2 — Pause keywords

Choose this option if you realize that some of your keywords should be moved to another ad group, or if you don't want to bid on this keyword anymore.
