Google Adwords Green Outline Ad 2017 1920

We haven’t heard much about development on the AdWords app lately, but there’s a new update out today that makes the app more useful.

Advertisers can now add, edit and remove keywords from their campaigns using the AdWords app.

  • To add a keyword, simply click the new round blue “plus” button that appears in the bottom right corner of the various Keyword views in the app.
  • To delete existing keywords, click on the keyword you want to delete and then on the trash can icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
  • From that same specific keyword screen, advertisers can edit the word itself or change the match type. That’s also where advertisers can pause or enable a keyword and change manually set bids.

For full instructions, see the help center page.

The AdWords app can be downloaded from the iOs and Google Play app stores.
