Google Ads exact match targets specific user queries, maximizing relevance and controlling ad spend.

Exact match in Google Ads ensures your ad appears only when a user's search query precisely matches your keyword, or is a close variation (e.g., plurals, misspellings). This precision drives higher click-through rates (CTRs) by connecting highly relevant searches with your ads. For instance, an exact match keyword like [men's running shoes] will trigger your ad for 'men's running shoes,' but not for 'best running shoes.' This tight control minimizes wasted ad spend on irrelevant searches, directly improving return on investment (ROI). While exact match offers the most control, it typically has a smaller reach compared to broad or phrase match, necessitating a balanced keyword strategy for optimal campaign performance.

### [Ship it, then sell it — Go-To-Market for AI builders](https://valencia.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_VCiRR7OHf2g)

Building got 10x easier. Getting users didn't. Anyone can ship a Notion clone in a weekend now, which means the product stopped being the moat — distribution is. This talk covers the other half of the job: how to validate an idea in 2 weeks and ~$400 instead of finding out after 3 months of building that nobody wanted it. Includes a live walkthrough of a real campaign with real dashboards — cost per result, not spend, is the whole decision.
