Exact match keywords & Google rules implementation
As we all know exact keywords are the one which is placed in between square brackets [ ]. The targeted audience is very specific in the Exact Match. Consumers have to enter exactly the keyword without disturbing its sequence or its form or its spelling. Due to these restrictions, the users found it difficult to use it. Therefore Google made variations in the rules for Exact match. In 2014, Google relieved some mistakes or we can say mismatching with the keyword. Then after 3 years in 2017, Google also relieved the order of the keyword and also ignored the preposition, conjunctions or any articles.
Changes to be made in the Exact Keyword
