### Why exclude keywords from Semji recommendations?
Semji provides you with optimization recommendations related to the main query you want to work on. If you know which terms you do not want to see in the recommendations (for exemple, a competitor's name), you can easily exclude them from Semji recommendations.
This feature allows you to avoid disabling the keyword several times in the editor itself and saves you time by not showing you keywords you do not want to work on.
*Note: When excluding your keywords, check that you are not deleting keywords that are important and relevant to you.*
### How to exclude keywords from Semji recommendations?
**Here are the steps to quickly exclude keywords from Semji recommendations:**
*Note: You can exclude as many keywords as you want. When you exclude a term in Semji, its variants are automatically taken into account. For example, excluding “strategy” also includes “strategies”, so you don't have to specify each variation manually.*
1. Go to Semji's "Settings";
2. Click on "Excluded terms" in the workspace settings;
3\. Select the exclusion zone:
- Search intents
- Questions
- Related Terms
- AI+Content
- AI+ Agents
**Note:** Regarding the exclusion of terms for the AI+ Agents feature, this applies only to content generated by the agent.
4\. Enter the various terms you no longer want to see in the recommendations or AI generations, then click on save.
The different terms from this list will no longer be suggested in the various recommendations and AI generations
*Note: This action is reversible. You can remove the term from the excluded terms list. It will then be available again in the associated recommendations and AI generations*
