Advertisers are beginning to see support for negative keyword lists in Performance Max campaigns. This long-requested addition enables easier exclusion of irrelevant search terms across campaigns using existing shared lists.

The feature appears to be rolling out gradually and is accessible in some accounts via the Shared library and when adding negative keywords.

Previously, the option to apply a negative keyword list was visible but greyed out.

The Google Ads interface presents the "Keywords" section, highlighting options to add negative keywords crucial for campaign optimization. With tabs for tools like PMax at the top, users can efficiently manage their campaigns without exceeding the negative keyword limit.
