Exclusionary words in Performance Max
By design, Performance Max campaign algorithms themselves eliminate those keyword phrases that negatively affect campaign quality and conversion rates. Moreover, Google Support warns against overly narrow ad targeting: Exclusions can be helpful if you have brand safety concerns. However, too many exclusions may limit or even prevent the display of ads. Unlike standard Google search results and product (PLA) campaigns, Performance Max does not provide the ability to add exclusion words from the Google Ads panel. However, there is another option, which you will learn about in the video below.
