Tip
A great way to make the most of the Search Ads feature is to use the boolean (inc/exc) filters, and focus only on ads where the competitor is targeting their brand.
Alternatively, you could filter for ads that were triggered by non-branded keywords, which are more likely to have a lower CPC and may well be easier on your Paid Search budget.
