Amazon PPC – Are You Wasting Your Time With Phrase Match?

[et_bloom_inline optin_id=optin_3]

Dr Ellis Whitehead returns and breaks down in graphic detail why we don’t use  Phrase Match, and how you can remove them from your campaigns.

Why we don’t need phrase match

  • One of the hardest to come by is: data.
  • You need clicks and orders in order to estimate conversions on keywords.
  • If you have a multi-word key-phrase: latte glass
    • A person might be searching glass latte or latte glass, the search intention may be the same.
    • So if you are using phrase match, you need it in this particular sequence in order for people to find it.
    • IF you use broad match instead, then they will find it no matter the sequence of the words.
  • Amazon prefers broad match over phrase match. So get rid of that.
  • When you use broad match, versus phrase match, you will be summing up all the clicks together in this one broad match instead of separately on the phrase matches. 
    • You get more data and get more insight.

Downside of broad match?

  • it depends on how aggressive your campaigns are.
  • For phrase matches, you get fewer impressions but you are not going to get a lesser percentage of bad phrases in broad match
  • Since broad is just a matter of different order and the sequence of the words is just a matter of search intent.
  • Broad match, in general, is not worse than phrase match.
    • You need to stay on top of negation.
    • Whether you use broad or phrase match.

Data management

  • Being careful not to mess up your campaign.
    • If you have a campaign which is running well and has a a lot of recent data or history, then if you start a new campaign– it will not get the same impression.
    • It takes time to replace the data.
    • DO NOT stop the ones that are already running, create new campaigns but run them parallel to your existing campaigns which are performing.
  • How to do it?
    • In the future do not bother with phrase match because it will always be worse for you.
    • Use broad match 
      • Take the words you would usually use for a phrase match campaign, alphabetize them so you avoid adding duplicate words under your broad match.
