<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="What_is_Phrase_Match?">What is Phrase Match?</h2></div>
<p>Phrase Match: With this match type, you're capturing moderately specific search term phrases that closely relate to your targeted keyword. It provides a bit more flexibility by including variations and additional terms within the search query. This match type covers search terms that include your targeted keyword phrase, along with other words before or after it.
When a shopper searches for a keyword phrase containing your targeted phrase and other terms, your ad may appear.
For example, if your keyword is "<a href="Protein" title="Protein">Protein</a> Powder," your ad could pop up for search queries like "Chocolate flavoured Protein Powder" or "Protein powder for weight loss."
