Create Any Pivots You Might Want
@hoffman8 #HeroConf
Pull Pivot Tables Into The Dashboard
Note – I used a cell reference so that when the pivot tables update, the dashboard automatically updates.
@hoffman8 #HeroConf
Rinse & Reuse
Simply drop new keyword sheets into the data tab and
refresh the pivots.
The dashboard will update!

Search Query & Keyword Tool
@hoffman8 #HeroConf
@hoffman8 #HeroConf
Use conditional statements to help dissect keyword research and search query reports.
@hoffman8 #HeroConf
Example Scenario:Client = Southawk Nursing School
Target = Students With a Previous Degree Looking for an Accelerated BSN Program
@hoffman8 #HeroConf
Conditional Statements For Search Term Reports
Imagine you have thousands of search queries to sort through.PRO: Lots of Data!Con: Can become really tedious and time consuming.
@hoffman8 #HeroConf
Conditional Statements For Search Term Reports
We can use a simple if statement to see if a term is contained within column A. If so, it will return the word “yes”. If not, “no”.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("BSN",A2)),"yes","no")
@hoffman8 #HeroConf
Conditional Statements For Search Term Reports
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("BSN",A2)),"yes","no")

@hoffman8 #HeroConf
Conditional Statements For Search Term ReportsColumn F & G contain an And statement to check if both words
are present
=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("bsn",A2)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH("accelerated",A2))),"yes","no")
@hoffman8 #HeroConf
Pull Out Negatives & Keywords
If the query doesn’t contain any of the qualifiers, add it to the potential negative list. If it matches a qualifier, do nothing.
@hoffman8 #HeroConf
Quickly Sort Suggested Negatives vs. Keywords
Bonus: You Can Even Create a Second Tab To Group Suggested Keywords Into Ad Groups!
