Managing negative keywords when multi ad groups trigger for same keyword

[Zoope]

Hi Mozzers,

I have a lot of ad groups - hundreds! Without negative keywords, multiple ad groups in my campaign could trigger for the same keyword. For example, a search for crm software could trigger the following ad groups:

Ad group 1 (the ad group I want to trigger) - CRM Software
Ad group 2 - Best CRM Software
Ad group 3 - CRM Software Solutions
Ad group 4 - CRM Software for Small Business
etc.

So I handle this situation by negative keyword matching the words 'CRM Software' in ad groups 2, 3 and 4.

However, this is a very manual and laborious activity when I have 900+ keywords in my campaign, with 150+ ad groups.

Does anybody know of any tools that might automate this process, or any techniques for making the process easier and more accurate?

Thanks!

Hi,

As far as I know There is no such tools available. I would suggest you to use Adwords Editor. You can also contact Adwords support team for available methods to do the same.

Hope this helps
