Beginning January 19^th, this suggestion can embrace key phrases with completely different match sorts.

Right here is an instance for a way this may work, based on Google. “In case your advert group has the phrase match key phrase “girls’s hats” and broad match key phrase women hats, we are going to advocate that you just take away the phrase match key phrase because the broad match key phrase women hats covers all Searches from “girls’s hats”.”

In accordance with Google, consolidating key phrases throughout match sorts will make managing your account simpler, it received’t negatively affect efficiency and it’ll nonetheless enable your adverts to look on the identical searches.

Why Google is making this replace (based on Jill) and my recommendation

This is because of its enhancements in machine studying (which in all equity has improved the effectiveness of the broad match kind) and since it offers key phrases essentially the most attain. Extra attain = extra spend potential. Plain and easy.
