Should I Use Exact Match for SEO?
A fan asks: To my knowledge, the purpose of exact match campaigns is to help rank your organic listing to the first page of your main keywords. Perhaps, you are successful. Your organic listing ranks up to the first page of the keywords you are promoting.
Do you still need to continue advertising for those keywords, or do you permanently pause that campaign and work on ranking for other keywords?
Answer: I spent $5,000 on broad match “Gifts for mom” and got to organic rank 1 48 hours before mother’s day on this listing within the first 30 days of launching it: Mom Box Spa Gift Set.
You can go for an exact match to help get to the top 10 ranks of a particular keyword. But if you pause ads it will slip. If ads are the reason it ranked, you will need to maintain ads to keep it ranked. If you watch this banned glass series you will see how I went from #1 wine glass to top 40 when Ads got banned.
There’s no right or wrong answer on whether to maintain every keyword you are advertising on. You need to start with the goal and work backwards. If the ACOS is good, leave it on. If the ACOS is unbearable start pulling it back and see what happens. If the keyword you have an exact match on is in the ICAP funnel, you might want to keep it on.
