Negative Keywords Auto-Sync

Block wasted spend by automatically adding low-converting search terms as negatives

Google Ads integration that identifies search terms with zero conversions, high clicks, and high spend, then adds them as negative keywords to prevent future waste. Cuts irrelevant traffic in days, not weeks.

Every Monday, Nora reviews all search terms from the past 7 days across your campaigns. It flags search terms with high click volume (50+ clicks) but zero conversions and high cost-per-click (>$5). These are typically broad match keywords attracting wrong-intent traffic. Nora automatically adds them as negative keywords at the campaign level (or ad group level if you prefer). For example, if 'free HR software' got 80 clicks, cost you $400, and generated zero leads, it gets added as a negative keyword immediately. This automation saves typical companies $2,000–$5,000/month in wasted spend on irrelevant traffic. You get a weekly report showing which search terms were blocked and estimated savings. If you disagree with a term being marked negative (maybe it's valuable for brand awareness), you can remove it from the list before it's applied. The automation learns from your feedback—if you whitelist a term, Nora won't suggest it again. Works best when combined with bid optimization; together they form a complete campaign hygiene system.
