The Map Is Vague. The Rewards Are Real.

Broad Match in Google Ads?
You don’t know what you don’t know.

But you might just discover what you didn’t know you needed.

That’s the gamble and the gift of broad match.

Most marketers avoid it. Too risky. Too random. Too… Google.

But the truth is:
If you’ve got tight negatives, smart bidding, and a product people actually want, broad match can find intent before the user even knows how to express it.

You’re not just targeting keywords.
You’re training an algorithm to chase outcomes.

⚠️ Will it waste money?
Yes, if left unchecked.

✅ Will it uncover hidden demand?
Absolutely — if you’re willing to explore.

Have I convinced you to give broad match a shot?
