Keyword Targeting

The Essentials

Ads shown alongside videos, sites, or content containing certain words.

Why Pix Loves Them

Allows for more control and precision than topics, captures contextual intent from content consumption, and is more flexible (options for different kinds of keyword sets).

Limitations

Can be hard to scale if the keyword list is too narrow, context match isn’t always perfect (e.g., word meaning depends on context), performance depends on ongoing optimization of keyword list.
