Negative Keyword Conflicts - MCC

Voorkom dat je zoekwoorden worden geblokkeerd door uitsluitingswoorden. Dit doorloopt je accounts en rapporteert alle conflicten.

Negative Keyword Conflicts - MCC
Negative Get started!

Uitsluitingszoekwoorden toevoegen tijdens het optimaliseren van je campagnes is natuurlijk de normaalste zaak van de wereld. Maar het kan wel eens voorkomen dat je iets te enthousiast bezig bent geweest en dat er uitsluitingswoorden in een lijst terecht zijn gekomen die zoekwoorden in andere campagnes gaan blokkeren. Zonde natuurlijk, want nu komt er geen verkeer meer binnen op deze zoekwoorden. Daarom heeft Google een mooi script gemaakt die alle zoekwoorden en uitsluitingswoorden/lijsten naloopt om te controleren of er geen zoekwoorden geblokkeerd worden. Want geblokkeerde zoekwoorden leveren Google ook geen geld op.

MCC Script

Onderstaand script kan je toepassen in je MCC en op die manier in één keer al je accounts controleren. Het script maakt gebruik van de functie executeInParallel, wat ervoor moet zorgen dat de analyse sneller verloopt. Let daarbij wel op, dat je daardoor niet meer dan 50 accounts tegelijk kan controleren. Maak gebruik van accountlabels om een selectie te maken. Er is ook een script die je op accountniveau kan draaien.

Instellingen

Als je het script doorkijkt, kom je vanzelf 'var CONFIG = {' tegen. Hieronder staan een aantal zaken die je moet aanvullen, voordat je het script kan draaien.

  • SPREADSHEET_URL: Je moet eerst een kopie maken van de Google Spreadsheet, zodat de data daarin terecht kan komen. De URL die je kopieert, moet altijd '/edit' bevatten, maar wat daarachter komt mag je weglaten.
  • RECIPIENTS_EMAILS: Vul hier de emailadressen in waarop je meldingen wilt ontvangen over de gevonden conflicten.
  • ACCOUNT_LABEL: Geef je accounts een label, om ervoor te zorgen dat je niet meer dan 50 accounts controleert.
  • CAMPAIGN_LABEL: Ook campagnes kan je labelen, zodat het script alleen controleert wat jij wilt.

Frequentie: Dagelijks zal vaak voldoende zijn. Maak jij veel wijzigingen in zoekwoorden/uitsluitingswoorden, draai het script dan elk uur.

 * @name Negative Keyword Conflicts - Manager Accounts
 *
 * @overview The Negative Keyword Conflicts script generates a spreadsheet
