So...... the listening isn't very good? Because recommending a swimming pool simply based on the single word pool is just terrible.

Either they have the most technically impressive spying system that can't do anything right or it's just not happening and people are making connections where there isn't really any.

I’m not sure what point you’re attempting to make here, but they chose the phrase “pool fencing” and were rapidly inundated with ads for pool fencing, which, in isolation, would suggest the listening is extremely accurate.
