AMZPPC # 132: Should You Segment Automatic Sponsored Product Campaigns? - a podcast by The PPC Den

Amazon PPC’s Automatic Sponsored Product Campaigns-- everybody’s favorite, right? Usually not. We often see auto-campaigns with unruly, high ACOS.

Should we segment our automatic sponsored product campaigns? In other words, should we create four separate campaigns, one each for compliments, substitutions, close match, and loose match?

Michael and Michael analyzed a few million ad groups from Ad Badger’s software community and tested this theory on a client’s campaigns.

You won’t want to miss the first-ever episode that PPC Den Podcast recorded over several weeks while compiling data and running the test.

The results surprised us, and it’s changing the way we optimize our Amazon Ads.

We’ll see you in The Badger Den!
