Is there any point to having themed ad groups any more? With loose phrase match, search queries go all over the place and I’m just managing negative kws all the time. Should I just put all closely-related kws in one ad group and be done with it?
I manage Google Ads for a clothing company and have themed ad groups (e.g. shirts, blue shirts, red shirts, formal shirts, party shirts, etc) going to relevant landing pages. In these ad groups, I use exact and phrase match only.
With the advent of looser keyword matching, I keep finding that search terms spill over into different ad groups. For example, formal shirts will show up in red shirts, blue shirts will show up in party shirts, etc.
I've been thinking about chucking all of my phrase and broad match kws into one ad group to see how it all goes. I feel like I'm constantly managing negatives and performance isn't getting any better.
What are you all doing and do you have any recommendations for my situation?
Is there any point to having themed ad groups in Google Ads any more? If I remember correctly, it used to be best practice to have someone looking for "red shirts" to go to a landing page of red shirts, but that doesn't seem to be the case any more. Did Google just do away with all that?
Thanks for reading!
