About Google Ads Match Type Helper™
Bulk-update match types on the keywords you add in Google Ads and now Microsoft Ads (Bing Ads).
Google increasingly defaults new keywords to Broad match, whether you're adding new keywords, promoting matched search terms, or applying negatives. This slows down workflow and increases the chance of syntax errors.
Microsoft Ads often defaults to Phrase match and has a cumbersome, multi-step selector to change the keyword match type.
This extension brings back the bulk match type selector — and now works across Google Ads and Microsoft Ads.
Follow these 4 steps:
→ Install our Match Type Helper Chrome extension.
→ Review matched search terms in Google Ads.
→ Choose your desired match type: exact, phrase, or broad.
→ Bulk change match types for all matched terms before adding.

░░░ Details: ░░░
Previously, Google Ads let you choose whether a new keyword should be "Exact," "Phrase," or "Broad" match directly when adding it from the matched search terms. Now, Google automatically sets new keywords as "Broad" match, and if you want "Exact" or "Phrase" match, you have to add extra symbols manually each time, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.
Our Google Ads extension addresses this issue. It allows you to:
→ Choose the match type for each keyword individually when adding matched search terms.
→ Change the match type for all matched terms in bulk before adding them.
This makes the process faster and reduces the likelihood of mistakes.
Our extension works on your device and does not send your data to external servers or third parties.
