Manage Paid Search Monitoring Policies

Take the PXA course

Once you've created a policy, it will appear on the Policy screen. From here, you can find policies using the search or filter bar. You can edit or deactivate active policies, and reactivate or delete policies no longer in use.

Note: Inactive policies count toward your keyword limit. To remove these keywords from your limit, you must delete the inactive policy.

1. From the left navigation menu, select [Protect] → Monitoring → Policies.

2. Find the specific policy you want to change.

   • Optionally, use the filters at the top of the page to narrow down your searches.
