A Solution To The Close Variant Change 
@AlanMorte - @ThreeVentures
What Is A Close Variant? 
@AlanMorte
A Keyword… 
• Misspelling 
• In Singular or Plural Form 
• Acronyms, Abbreviations, Accents 
@AlanMorte
It Applies To… 
• Phrase Match 
• Exact Match 
• Were Able To Opt Out… 
@AlanMorte
Then Something 
Happened... 
@AlanMorte
August 2014… 
@AlanMorte
Remember Rand From Earlier? 
@AlanMorte
A Middle Finger To Us! 
@AlanMorte
From Big Brother… 
@AlanMorte
Oh Hell No… 
@AlanMorte
Okay, Calming Down… 
@AlanMorte
The “Sophisticated” Trend… 
@AlanMorte
Sophistication Means Work… 
• Negative Keywords Mean Time… 
• Time Means Work… 
• And There’s An Issue… 
@AlanMorte
All PPC Marketers 
Sophisticated? 
@AlanMorte
Probably Not… 
Sophistication = Work 
@AlanMorte
Let Me Justify First… 
• You Tested This 
• You Didn’t Test This 
• But You Still Googled For Conformation… 
@AlanMorte
And Found Data Like This… 
@AlanMorte 
Source: resources.spyfu.com/loss-exact-match-sad-losing-phrase-match-will-torpedo-profits
And This… 
@AlanMorte 
Source: resources.spyfu.com/loss-exact-match-sad-losing-phrase-match-will-torpedo-profits
And Realized, Oh Shit! 
@AlanMorte
This Is Going To Impact Me… 
• I Need To Regain Control 
• I Have To Use Negative Keywords 
• This Time I’m Going To Stick To It… 
@AlanMorte
Isn’t That What We 
Always Say? 
@AlanMorte
PPC Managers Go To 
Less Control = More Negative Keywords 
@AlanMorte
And Monday Comes… 
@AlanMorte
You Login To Adwords 
• Look At Search Query Data For One Campaign, Ad 
Group, Or Keyword 
• Page Loads Take Forever 
• And Then 12PM Comes & You’re Not Done… 
@AlanMorte
That’s Sophisticated?! 
@AlanMorte
Not! 
@AlanMorte
What’s Your Take, Alan? 
@AlanMorte
Sophistication Is A Big 
Word… 
@AlanMorte
The Wrong Word… 
@AlanMorte
Because We Forgot To K.I.S.S… 
• Manage Negative Keywords Effectively 
• Can’t Be Limited To The Interface 
• Need To Think Simple, Easy 
@AlanMorte
What’s Another Way To 
Get Search Query Data… 
@AlanMorte
Use … 
@AlanMorte
To Beat … 
@AlanMorte
With The Adwords API 
@AlanMorte
What If I… 
• Have Never Worked With The API 
• Am Not A Programmer 
• Am On A Budget 
@AlanMorte
Stop Trying To Be 
Sophisticated… 
@AlanMorte
Think Simple… 
@AlanMorte
And Use A Tool… 
@AlanMorte
Like Super Metrics Data 
Grabber! 
(Which I have no affiliation with) 
@AlanMorte

• Any Campaign 
• Any Adgroups / Keywords 
• Any Account, or Accounts 
@AlanMorte
All In One Report 
@AlanMorte
Update With One Click 
@AlanMorte
Now That’s Simple 
@AlanMorte
What You’ll Need 
• $39 / MO 
• An Adwords ID (Use MCC for multi-account access) 
• Excel (Windows or Mac) 
@AlanMorte
Before We Start… 
@AlanMorte
What’s Your Plan? 
@AlanMorte
For Account Strategy… 
• For Who? 
• What Are The Goals? 
• What Are The Search Query KPIs? 
@AlanMorte
And… 
@AlanMorte
