Creative Ways to Use Keyword Groups

Keyword groups let you organize related keywords by topic — and the possibilities are endless. 

• You can group Branded and Generic keywords together. 
• You can group keywords from different product categories together.
• You can assign keywords to multiple keyword groups.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Your brand/products: see if accounts are researching you or your products
• Competitors: see if accounts are researching any of your competitors
• Competitor + its products: manage competitive threats on a competitor-level basis
• Substitutes for one of your products: manage competitive threats on a product-level basis
• Partner + its products: identify co-marketing opportunities 
• Complementary products: know when accounts are researching related solutions commonly purchased in tandem with your solutions (it’s like an inside tip on an upcoming opportunity)
• An event/moment in time: include variations on the event title + event topics to support event planning and promotion
• Buyer pain points or key research themes: streamline segment building and quickly spot trending topics on your dashboard and within segments
• Industry/vertical: group related terms by industry or vertical (super helpful for technical terms)  
• Multilingual pairings: group English keywords with their non-English keyword equivalents (helps segment builders who aren’t bilingual)

Now let's use them to build segments…

Building an intent-based segment using filters? Consider filtering on a keyword group instead of typing in multiple keywords. Plus, your filter criteria will automatically update as new keywords are added to the group — no manual updates required (you’re welcome).  

Filtering on a keyword that might generate “noise”? Add a segment filter for a related keyword group. Now your segment includes accounts that are researching your desired keyword AND researching at least x number of keywords from the related group. When paired together, the added context should eliminate the noise.
