Scrub for fluid power

B2C contamination detector for search terms, applied to fluid power & hydraulics.

Fluid power search-term reports are contaminated: hobbyist tractor restoration ('hydraulic pump for John Deere tractor'), DIY agricultural projects, automotive enthusiasts restoring old equipment. Without aggressive negative work, Smart Bidding learns to chase the cheap clicks (hobbyists spend less but convert at <1% rates). Scrub detects the contamination using NLP heuristics and bulk-suggests negatives. For hydraulics, contamination patterns include: tractor (unless you sell agricultural OEM), restoration, hobby, kit, ATV, Jeep, motorcycle, custom, garage, DIY. Scrub flags these patterns automatically and exports them as a bulk negative list. The AI-assisted classification is valuable for ambiguous terms: 'mobile hydraulic' could be industrial mobile equipment (high-intent OEM buyer) or hobbyist mobile welding rig (contamination). Scrub uses NLP to suggest the likely intent based on co-occurrence patterns in your search terms. The flagged term volume drives Audit recommendations — if Scrub finds 500 contaminated searches per month, Audit recommends increasing negative-keyword coverage. Recommendation: run Scrub monthly on your search-term reports. Export the bulk-negative list and add it to your shared negative keywords list at account level. Build a 'contamination blacklist' in your preferences (words like 'restoration', 'hobby', 'DIY') so Scrub weights those more heavily in future analysis. For OEM campaigns, negative keywords are a structural advantage: competitors often skip negatives, so you are buying cleaner traffic at the same CPC.

About Scrub

Search term reports in B2B accounts are full of consumer queries — DIY hobbyists, students, someone Googling on their phone. Scrub detects the contamination using NLP heuristics and bulk-suggests negatives, so a single review session kills weeks of wasted spend.

About fluid power

Fluid power buyers split into two distinct tracks: OEM design engineers selecting components for new equipment, and MRO maintenance buyers replacing failed parts. Both speak in part numbers, pressure ratings, and ISO standards — but they convert on entirely different campaigns.
