Negative keywords for marketing agencies
Agencies pay for clicks from marketing students, people looking for marketing jobs and internships, and owners who want a free tool or template instead of a partner. This list blocks them and keeps the businesses hiring.
Updated
Before you paste: what NOT to block
Price and comparison queries are the businesses shortlisting agencies. Keep these:
- marketing agency near me
- seo agency pricing
- ppc management cost
- best marketing agency for small business
- social media management packages
Every list on this page is a starting point, not a decree. Scan it against your own offer before applying — one business's junk click is another's best lead.

View listFrequently asked questions
Why block "network marketing" and "mlm"?
Those searchers are recruiting or being recruited into a sales scheme, not hiring an agency. The phrase contains "marketing" so broad match treats it as relevant, and it is a large, persistent source of irrelevant clicks for any agency bidding on the word.
Should an agency block "how to start a marketing agency"?
Yes. That is a competitor in the making, often reading the same guides you wrote. The same goes for white label searches, which come from other agencies looking to resell. Keep "agency" queries that include a service and a business type.
These are generic industry negatives - safe in most accounts of this kind, but not tuned to yours. Inside Keyword Ninja, the Smart Blocklist cross-checks this exact catalog against your real search terms and shows the wasted spend before you block a single word.
