google_ads_shared_criterion

A shared criterion is a single negative keyword that belongs to a google_ads_shared_set. It exists as a separate resource so each keyword can be added, removed, or paused independently — handy when a list grows past a handful of entries.

Tip

You can populate a shared set with negative_keyword blocks directly inside google_ads_shared_set or with separate google_ads_shared_criterion resources. Both styles end up as the same shared-set criteria on the live account; pick whichever reads better for the size of your list.

Example

A shared list of value-seeker negatives, declared as separate criteria:

resource "google_ads_shared_set" "value_seekers" {
  name = "Value-seeker negatives"
  type = "NEGATIVE_KEYWORDS"
}

resource "google_ads_shared_criterion" "neg_free" {
  shared_set = google_ads_shared_set.value_seekers.id
  keyword {
    text       = "free"
    match_type = "BROAD"
  }
}

resource "google_ads_shared_criterion" "neg_diy" {
  shared_set = google_ads_shared_set.value_seekers.id
  keyword {
    text       = "diy"
    match_type = "BROAD"
  }
}
