Best answer

Could be another advertiser sending traffic to their own Google listing on a Google. com domain. What's the keyword?

If I use "plumber" & "plumbers" in the same adgroup, will Google recognize that the one is plural and not allow the 2 closely related phrase match keywords to bid against each other?
