Identify High-Spend Search Terms to Add as Negatives
Block irrelevant search terms from burning your budget before they repeat tomorrow.
Wasted search term spend is the most preventable cost in Google Ads — yet most advertisers only review search terms monthly. PayHelm's daily negative keyword mining task analyzes every query that triggered your ads yesterday, uses AI to classify commercial intent, identifies terms with significant spend and zero conversions, and recommends (or automatically applies) new negative keywords at the right campaign or ad group level. Across 30 days this typically saves 15–25% of total search spend.
