Amazon introduced broad match modifiers in Sponsored Brands<\/a> a little while back. However, we have noticed that quite a few advertisers are not leveraging this new match type yet. <\/span>For those of you that have experience with Google Adwords or Bing ads, you are probably familiar with broad match modifiers. If not, read on. <\/span><\/p>\n

This blog post describes the new match type variation that you should be leveraging in your campaigns. <\/span>In the past, there were three match types: <\/span>Broad<\/i><\/b>, <\/span>Phrase<\/i><\/b>, <\/span>Exact<\/i><\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Broad match<\/i><\/b> keywords attract searches that are related to the keyword, including synonyms, spelling variations, and related brands. A keyword like “kids shoes” would attract searches like “children’s shoes” or even brand names that offer kids shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phrase match <\/i><\/b>only triggers searches with words in the same order as the keywords. For example, “<\/span>kids<\/span> shoes<\/span>” phrase match would not be triggered for searches like “<\/span>shoes<\/span> for <\/span>kids<\/span>” because the words are in a different order. Searches like “purple <\/span>kids shoes<\/span>” or “<\/span>kids shoes<\/span> size 4″ would be triggered by this keyword.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exact match <\/i><\/b>implies that searches match the keyword exactly, with minor variations (such as plurals). “Kids shoes” in <\/span>exact match<\/span><\/i> will attract searches such as “Kids shoes” and “kids shoe.”<\/span><\/p>\n

About <\/span>Broad Match Modified<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Advertisers can add modifiers in <\/span>broad match<\/span><\/i> to ensure that ads are triggered only when certain words appear in the search terms, while also benefiting from the breadth of <\/span>broad match <\/span><\/i>coverage. All you have to do is put a ‘+’ in front of words. For example, +kids +shoes will attract searches like “kids shoes,” “shoes for kids.” You can choose to put the modifier in front of a subset of words, as well. +kids shoes will ensure that the word “kids” is always present in the searches trigger ads. In essence, this match type is not as restrictive as <\/span>phrase match<\/span><\/i> and also not as broad as <\/span>broad match.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"Keyword
\nRecommended next step<\/b><\/p>\n

For each of your broad match keywords, consider adding a <\/span>broad match <\/span><\/i>modified keyword. Keep a close eye on search terms and periodically add appropriate negatives. <\/span>(NOTE: You can now download a search term report for Sponsored Brand campaigns.)<\/b><\/p>\n
