Free Google Ads Negative Keyword Tool

Paste your Google Ads or Microsoft Ads search terms report and instantly classify every keyword into Keep, Negative, Review, or Competitor buckets. Supports 12+ campaign types including ecommerce, local service leads, legal, medical, real estate, and B2B. Free, no account required.

Negative Keyword Tool

If your ads are showing up for the wrong searches, you're throwing money away. Paste your search terms report and this tool sorts everything into four buckets: Keep (worth paying for), Negative (cut it), Review (needs a second look), and Competitor (brand names that deserve their own strategy). Pick your campaign type first for smarter detection, then copy your negatives straight into your campaign.

If a competitor bids on your name, or yours shows up in their searches, this catches it.

One term per line. Copy straight from Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, a spreadsheet, whatever you've got.

Upload a search terms report from Google Ads or Microsoft Ads. It'll detect the term, cost, conversions, and clicks columns automatically. No formatting needed on your end.
