When you need this

A search campaign has been running for a while and you suspect it is paying for searches that never turn into customers.

How the crew does it

  1. Pull the search terms

    Paid Media Crew

    Orion reads which actual searches triggered your ads, with spend and conversions for each.

  2. Sort terms by intent

    Paid Media Crew

    Terms that spend without converting, or that clearly do not match your offer, are grouped for review.

  3. Propose negatives and new keywords

    Paid Media Crew

    The crew drafts negative keywords for the waste and new keywords for searches that convert but are not yet targeted.

  4. Approve each change

    You

    You approve, edit, or reject every proposed negative and keyword before anything changes in the account.

What waits for you

Every negative keyword and keyword addition to a running campaign.
