Operating framework for Negative

1) Scope for Negative/Keywords

Write one sentence for the business outcome behind Negative Keywords Ultimate Guide 2027: For Enterprise Teams. List constraints (fragmented ownership across teams). Reject work that does not serve the sentence.

2) Ownership map

Assign planning, production, QA, and measurement owners. Publish the map where the team already works.

3) Control stack

• search term mining cadence (entry gate)
• budget vs CPA ceilings (delivery gate)
• ad copy claim substantiation (review gate)

4) Delivery rhythm

Ship in small increments. After each release, add links to the Google Ads hub and sibling cluster pages.

5) Learning loop

Compare planned vs actual every week. Keep, fix, or stop. Do not expand while search term mining cadence is failing.
