FAQ

Review the working boundaries

When should a weak search term stay off the negative list?

Keep it off when the evidence window is too thin, the term remains strategically relevant, or a broad phrase exclusion could block valuable traffic. The workflow should separate confident exact exclusions, cautious phrase proposals, and watchlist terms. That structure protects learning while still making persistent waste easy to review.

What context should I provide first?

Start with a dated search-term report with spend, clicks, orders, and sales where available. Then provide product relevance rules, target economics, and important strategic queries. Keep dates, marketplaces, ASINs, and source definitions attached to the material so Claude can distinguish current evidence from background context.

What should be reviewed before acting?

A negative-keyword review sheet that distinguishes confident exclusions, match-type risks, and terms requiring more evidence. Before approval, check the source records, stated assumptions, and every proposed change against the current account context.
