Keyword Match Types

Keyword Match Types:

What is Broad Match:
Broad Match Keyword will show ads when someone searches for that keyword or variation of it.
Broad match is the default match type that all your keywords are assigned. Ads may show on searches that include misspellings, synonyms, related searches, and other relevant variations.

Ex Broad Match:
Broad Match
Ads May Show for
Women’s Shoes
Women’s shoes

Buy ladies shoes

Buy red shoes for women





What is Phrase Match:
With phrase match, your ad can appear when people search for your exact phrase, even if they include one or more words before or after it. We'll also show your ad when someone searches for a close variant of your phrase match keyword. Close variants include misspellings, singular and plural forms, acronyms, stemmings (such as floor and flooring), abbreviations, and accents. Word order is important with phrase match, meaning that your ad won’t appear if someone enters an additional word in the middle of your keyword.
Phrase match is more flexible than exact match, but is more targeted than the default broad match option. With phrase match, you can reach more customers, while still showing your ads to customers who are most likely searching for your product or service.
Example
Phrase match keyword:
Ads may show on searches for:
Ads won't show on searches for:
"tennis shoes"
red leather tennis shoes 
buy tennis shoes on sale
 
red tenis shoes
shoes for tennis 
tennis sneakers laces

What is Exact Match:
Ads may show on searches that are an exact term and close variations of that exact term.
·         Symbol[keyword]
·         Example keyword[women's hats]
·         Example search: women's hats

With exact match, your ads will appear when someone searches for your exact keyword, without any additional words before, after, or in the middle of your keyword. We'll also show your ad when someone searches for close variants of your keyword. Close variants include misspellings, singular and plural forms, acronyms, stemmings (such as floor and flooring), abbreviations, and accents.
When you use exact match, you might not receive as many impressions or clicks, but you'll probably see a higherclickthrough rate (CTR). That's because your ads can appear to people who are searching for terms that are almost exactly related to your product or service.

Example

Exact match keyword
Ads may show on searches for
Ads won't show on searches for
[tennis shoes]
tennis shoes
tennis shoes
red tennis shoes
buy tennis shoes

Broad match modifier (example)

Ads may show on searches that contain the modified term (or close variations, but not synonyms), in any order.
·         Symbol: +keyword
·         Example keyword: +women's +hats
·         Example search: hats for women

When you use broad match, your ads automatically run on relevant variations of your keywords, even if these terms aren't in your keyword lists. This helps you attract more visitors to your website, spend less time building keyword lists, and focus your spending on keywords that work.
Broad match is the default match type that all your keywords are assigned if you don't specify another match type (exact match, phrase match, or negative match). The Google AdWords system automatically runs your ads on relevant variations of your keywords, including synonyms, singular and plural forms, possible misspellings, stemmings (such as floor andflooring), related searches, and other relevant variations. To help deliver relevant matches, this match type may also take the customer's recent search activities into account.

Example

Broad match keyword:
Ads may show on searches for:
low-carb diet plan
carb-free foods
low-carb diets 
low calorie recipes
Mediterranean diet plans
low-carbohydrate dietary program
