Search Terms gets sharper the more you use it, but it's careful about when it trusts what it's learned.
As your team reviews and approves recommendations, the learning model picks up which calls fit your accounts, and the rule defaults calibrate to match. Two safeguards keep this honest:
A cold-start gate - until there's enough history to trust, it stays in plain rules-only mode rather than acting on thin signal.
Brand terms are kept out of learning, so they can't distort what it picks up.
Sometimes a term converts well but doesn't look related to your keywords - a local nickname, a synonym, a product's informal name. Plain relevance would wrongly skip it. Smart rescue lets the learning model keep that term when model confidence at least 15% and it has at least 10 conversions - proven, just oddly worded.
