12. Who Should Do PPC?
1. Everyone should do at a minimum a small amount of
PPC corresponding to your most important keywords
within your key geographies.
2. Businesses that do best are:
• The types of businesses that used to be listed in the yellow pages.
• Businesses with hard to find specialty items or services
• High margins or possibility of repeat business
3. Easy to turn on/off so give it a try!

18. Negative Keywords
Exclude Your Ad From Showing Up if the User’s Search
Query Contains Specific Words.
• Examples:
• Brands you don’t support
• Locations you don’t service
• “Free”, “Video”, “DIY”, “Training”, etc.
