google_ads_shared_set

A shared set is a reusable list of negative keywords. Define it once, link it to multiple campaigns via google_ads_campaign_shared_set, and edit it in one place when something changes.

Example

A shared negative list of “free / DIY / used” terms:

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


  negative_keyword {
    text       = "free"
    match_type = "BROAD"
  }


  negative_keyword {
    text       = "diy"
    match_type = "BROAD"
  }


  negative_keyword {
    text       = "used"
    match_type = "BROAD"
  }
}

The same list, written compactly:

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


  negative_keywords {
    match_type = "BROAD"
    texts      = ["free", "diy", "used"]
  }
}
