Hello Sam,
I’ve been reading your posts for the past few weeks and have learned a great deal—thank you!
I have a question about adding BH keywords. You mentioned that you “always add a maximum of three keywords at once (and three BH keywords at most).”
- Does this mean you add all three BH keywords in a single batch?(Or would you like to stop one keyword per day?)
- After you confirm the account is still safe, do you then pause the WH and “gradient” keywords one by one?(Is this also one day at a time?)
Also, while you’re making these keyword changes, do you
increase the daily budget by 10 % each day, or do you wait until the keyword adjustments are finished before scaling?
I’m trying to keep everything as human‑like as possible and stick to your “one action per day” guideline, so your insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hi moriJapan
Awesome! I'm very glad that this post is really helping out people. Good luck on your journey!
Well, let's get onto it.
1. All three in a single batch. So, by that I mean, you add 3 keywords at once.
Tip:
Add 3 keywords, but mix 1 of them with your ad (makes the keywords getting approved easier)
Let's say your white page website is about plumbers. You have some keywords like: plumbers near me, plumbers
You want to do the following bh keywords:
casino, top casino.
You're input on Google Ads Keywords should be something like:
plumbers casino y
plumbers top casino
casino
top casino
Those 2 keywords about your ad and your bh keyword probably won't get any clicks, but with my tests, it usually get your bh keywords approved easier
2. Ok, that's an important step as well. I always make it this way:
At this moment, let's say you just added bh keywords.
Now, we wait till we see our first click in our bh keyword. After the 1st click in any bh keyword I usually wait something around 24hours. Let the budget be spent between the bh and white keywords for 1 day.
After the 24 hours, I login to the ad account, head over to keywords, and start pausing them 1 by 1 ( by this I mean, you could choose all keywords and click on the button pause which would pause all the white keywords in 1 click), but in my experience I think it does flag something on Google. When I click on each one green color and change to pause usually nothing about flag happens and it just goes throught.
3. Always wait once again like 1 hour after keywords are in to start increasing budget.
Unfortunately it is really a game of patience and sometimes we've been working on the account for 1 whole week and it just gets banned somewhere. Sometimes it's just so random that we don't even know what's happening. But I can assume you, you might be lucky on the first try or either just be lucky everytime ahaha.
Following that proper setup with patience it's really rare to something happen so fast, usually your accounts should last longer. If by any chance you're accounts are never working, there should be some error you're doing on the process, or either, it can be your MCC provider.
Keep us updated here, and if you need any help on proper setup feel free to ask me.
Good luck!
