Google Ads previews the impact of negative keywords
Google has rolled out Negative Keyword Impact Previews. Before excluding a search term, a "Preview impact" pane estimates the loss in conversion value side by side.

Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means exclusions become a measured decision rather than a guess, so use the preview before removing high-volume terms.
