13. Google has been warning us for years
With their iterative updates to Google Ads
2017 - EXACT MATCH KILLED
Shows for plurals, misspellings, and different
word endings. Since 2021 even the order of
the words can differ and function words can
be added
2020 - SEARCH TERMS RESTRICTED
No longer showing search query data when
there is not "significant" data
2021 - BROAD MATCH MODIFIED KILLED
Phrase match essentially replaced BMM in
function
14. Google has been warning us for years
With their iterative updates to Google Ads
2018 - RSA'S LAUNCHED
RSA's have been around for a long time but
became the default text ad to use in 2021 and the
only search ad you can use for keywords since
2022
2021 - PERFORMANCE MAX LAUNCH
We've reversed the way we build campaigns,
going from as granular as possible thanks to
match type changes and the launch of PMAX
to consolidation
2023 - "KEYWORDLESS" CAMPAIGNS?
With the push towards Broad Match and
PMAX will we see "Exact" and "Phrase"
deprecated?

possible
