Choose the match type for Classify Search Term

Why a Classify Search Term Improvement can't be pushed on a broad-match-only campaign, and how to fix it.

When a Classify Search Term Improvement adds a search term as a keyword, it uses phrase match by default. If the Google Ads campaign has Broad match keywords switched on, it only accepts broad match keywords, so the Improvement can't be pushed.

Check the setting

  1. In Google Ads, open the campaign.

  2. Click Settings.

  3. Find Broad match keywords and check whether it's on.

Fix it

Either switch off Broad match keywords for that campaign in Google Ads, or change the keyword's match type to broad in the Improvement before you push it.
