Why these searches cost you

Lockout searches are urgent and expensive. Hobby and gaming searches share the same words, and broad match mixes them in.

Repair and replacement are your work, so the general Repairs and parts group is left out.

Words to check before you block them

These look like waste on most accounts. On some of yours they may be customers, so read your search terms before adding them.

emergency, 24 hour
The heart of the business. Keep them if you answer.
car key
Block only if you do not do car keys.
safe
Block only if you do not open or fit safes.

How to use the list

Add the list to a shared negative keyword list and attach it to every Search, Shopping and Performance Max campaign. Phrase match is a safe default for single words.

Negatives do not match close variants, so the generator adds the plurals. Never add a negative for a search that has converted in the last year.

Then read your own search terms every week at first. A starting list catches the common cases; your report shows the ones that are yours.

Questions, answered.

Anything else? Ask Oppy in the product, or write to the team.

What negative keywords should a locksmith use?

Training, lock picking as a hobby, lock shopping and video games. Keep emergency, car key and safe searches you can serve.

Why do locksmith ads show for games?

Lock picking is a common game mechanic, so game guides use the same words. Phrase negatives for game names stop it.
