Scrub for industrial laser marking

B2C contamination detector for search terms, applied to industrial laser marking & engraving.

Industrial laser marker search-term reports are full of hobbyist contamination that looks legitimate at the lead stage but closes at <2%. A procurement buyer lands on the same page as a jewelry engraver and a YouTuber buying a diode laser for their garage. Scrub detects contamination using NLP heuristics: DIY language ('how to', 'tutorial', 'beginner'), consumer context ('gift', 'hobby', 'home'), and hobbyist brand names ('Xyzzy', 'K40', 'Xtool'). In laser marking, Scrub typically flags 20-40% of search-term volume as contamination. The move is to export Scrub's flagged terms as a bulk negative list and layer it into your account, then monitor weekly because the contamination patterns shift as Smart Bidding finds new cheap-click pools. Build a standing Scrub review into your monthly workflow: run it on the bottom-quartile keywords (lowest conversion rate), export flagged negatives, and add them to your campaign-level negative list. The ROI is immediate — contamination negatives typically recover 15-25% of wasted spend within 30 days.
