The latest weapon of choice is machine learning with Google Adwords as the victim.<\/p>\n<p>We already know Google is using an artificial intelligence (AI) system known as <a href=\"\/blog\/local-businesses-rankbrain\/\">RankBrain<\/a> to serve results that match user intent. But what we couldn\u2019t confirm until recently is that AI and machine learning will soon play a major role in many of Google\u2019s products, starting with AdWords and likely expanding to Google Business Profile (previously Google My Business) and Google Maps.<\/p>\n<div class='tm-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n<div class='tm-click-to-tweet'>\n<div class='tm-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Does+the+%23Google+AdWords+update+suggests+%23AI+is+shaping+the+future%3F+%40BernieColeman+shares.&#038;url=https:\/\/www.advicelocal.com\/blog\/adwords-machine-learning-update\/' target='_blank'>Does the #Google AdWords update suggests #AI is shaping the future? @BernieColeman shares.<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Does+the+%23Google+AdWords+update+suggests+%23AI+is+shaping+the+future%3F+%40BernieColeman+shares.&#038;url=https:\/\/www.advicelocal.com\/blog\/adwords-machine-learning-update\/' target='_blank' class='tm-ctt-btn'>Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='tm-ctt-tip'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Here\u2019s What is Changing with AdWords<\/h2>\n<p>Google recently announced an impending <a href=\"https:\/\/adwords.googleblog.com\/2017\/03\/close-variants-now-connects-more-people.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AdWords update<\/a> that will change the relationship between search queries and results. Over the next few months, Google will broaden close variant matching to include rewording and reordering. The goal is to display relevant ads in search results based off a user\u2019s intent rather than on the exact search query.<\/p>\n<p>The machine learning process will be used to determine when function words (like \u2018in\u2019 and \u2018of\u2019) should be ignored. If the function words don\u2019t impact the user\u2019s intent, Google will choose to ignore them and return results that either contain different function words, no function words, or additional function words.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Google will be able to understand that a search for \u201chotels <b>in<\/b> McKinney\u201d can ignore the word \u201cin\u201d because it doesn\u2019t change the meaning. However, in a search for \u201cflights <b>to<\/b> Dallas,\u201d the function word \u201cto\u201d cannot be ignored because it directly impacts user intent.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advicelocal.com\/images\/google-adwords-close-variants.png\" alt=\"Google Adwords Close Variants\" width=\"100%\" \/><em>Image Credit: Google<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With this change, advertisers won\u2019t have to create lists of reworded and reordered exact match keywords to have their ads displayed in relevant search results. However, Google recommends continued usage of remarketing, Smart Bidding, and negative keywords to control the type of web traffic they attract.<\/p>\n<p>This update highlights the importance of searcher intent and all but confirms my continued belief that machine learning will play an important role in the majority of Google products as they release updates.<\/p>\n<h2>Local Search is Linked to Machine Learning<\/h2>\n<p>The simple solution to ensure the local businesses you represent will continue to be served in local search results is to have an <a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-create-google-my-business-listing\/\">optimized Google Business Profile<\/a>\u00a0and consistent citations around the web.
