Listen up and learn from this episode!
Key takeaways from this episode:
- By using negative keywords, we’re telling Google that we don’t want to bid on these specific keywords. There are a lot of keywords that we don’t want to show up for, that we might accidentally if not specifically stating otherwise.
- One of the ways that Google ranks SEO is time spent on a page and amount of pages visited. If you’re showing up for irrelevant search terms, you’re not giving value.
- Some of the keyword searches we do not want to show up for:
- Amazon. We do not want to show up for anything to do with ‘Amazon’. If somebody is typing ‘Amazon’, they want to shop on Amazon.
- App. Unless you have an app.
- Article. You don’t want to show up when somebody is typing ‘article’ because they are not at the bottom of the funnel, and their search has very little buying intent.
- Here are a few additional keywords you want to ensure you don’t show up for:
- Benefit/s, blog/s, books, blow-outs, cheap, cheapest, clear-outs (unless you’re running some clear-outs website), closeout, code, coupon code, deal-of-the-week, deal-of-the-day, deals, discount, discount codes, price shoppers, negative reviews, good reviews, comparisons, Amazon reviews, Advice.
- As an eCommerce brand, we also don’t want to show up for location-based searches, unless you have retail locations on that location.
