Negative Keywords Now Available in Performance Max Campaigns?

After much anticipation, it seems Google Ads is finally rolling out the ability to manage negative keywords for Performance Max campaigns. This long-awaited feature was spotted by Joe Shmo, who shared a photo on X, giving advertisers a first glimpse at what’s to come.

The journey to this rollout has been a long one. Initially rumored for early 2022, negative keywords were added at the account level in January. Later, Google slated the feature for the end of 2024. However, last month, Google Ads Liaison Ginny Marvin hinted that some accounts already had access.

Now, thanks to Joe’s post, we have visual proof of the feature in action!

While it’s exciting to see the feature surface, details are still scarce, and no one has shared their hands-on experience yet.

Stay tuned as advertisers begin testing and exploring its potential!
