- #22: Let’s assume that you would like to add the search terms of a competitor discovery campaign to the ad groups of competitor exact campaign if your CPA is below $5 and TTR is more than 10% for those search terms. What you would normally do in these situations is to go through all the search terms of Competitor Discovery and detect the keywords that matched these conditions one by one. Then, you would need to add all the qualified search terms as keywords to the Competitor Exact and also add them as negative keywords in the original campaign. As this is a quite labor-intensive and mechanical process, it can actually be handled with an automation rule. With this simple rule, you’ll have an assistant who monitors these keywords 7/24 and cherry-picks them.
