Are Exact Match keywords expensive in Google Ads?

Inside Google Ads with Jyll Saskin Gales

Are you wondering whether those super specific exact match keywords in Google Ads are actually worth the higher cost? Google Ads Coach Jyll Saskin Gales tackles this question and more in Episode 62 of Inside Google Ads. We're diving into the world of keyword match types, looking at whether exact match consistently delivers a better return on investment compared to broad match, and discussing why the old "phrase match is the middle ground" advice might not hold up anymore. Plus, we're exploring why trying to micromanage exact match through scripts or SKAGs isn't the most effective strategy anymore.
Plus, be sure to stay tuned until the end of the episode for a new Insider Challenge to solve!
