How do I add match types to a list of keywords?

Paste your keywords one per line and the tool returns each list ready for Google Ads or Microsoft Ads: broad match as typed, phrase match in "quotes", exact match in [brackets] and, optionally, negative keywords with a minus sign. Duplicates and stray symbols are removed.

Google Ads match types

  • Broad match — running shoes: shows for related searches, the widest reach.
  • Phrase match — "running shoes": the search must include the meaning of the phrase.
  • Exact match — [running shoes]: the search must have the same meaning.
  • Negative — -"free shoes": blocks searches you do not want to pay for.

Most accounts combine phrase and exact match for control, with broad match plus smart bidding for discovery.
