Negative keywords for pet grooming
Grooming ads pull in people training to become groomers, owners trying to clip their own dog, and shoppers buying clippers and shampoo. This list blocks them and keeps the owners booking an appointment.
Updated
Before you paste: what NOT to block
Price, mobile and near-me queries are the owners booking. Keep these:
- dog grooming near me
- mobile dog grooming cost
- cat grooming near me
- dog grooming prices
- same day dog grooming
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 "male grooming" and "grooming kit for men"?
"Grooming" on its own is a personal-care word with huge volume. Broad match will put a pet grooming ad on beard trimmer and shaving searches unless you block them. Keep your keywords anchored to the animal: dog, cat, puppy.
Should a groomer block "dog clippers" and "dog shampoo"?
Yes, unless you sell retail. Owners shopping for tools plan to groom at home, and that is the clearest signal they will not book. The owner who gave up on home grooming searches the appointment, the price or the breed cut, not the equipment.
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.
