4 Strategic Ways to Use Placement Multiplier Automation in SellerApp

Estimated reading: 3 minutes

Not all ad placements are created equal. A click from the top of search often converts better than one buried in product pages. But if you’re treating all placements the same, you’re likely overspending in some areas and underinvesting in others.

Placement multiplier automation in SellerApp helps you fix that. It allows you to automatically adjust your bid multipliers based on actual performance, increasing bids where returns are high and reducing them where performance lags.

This guide walks through four powerful use cases for placement multiplier automation, along with the exact steps to set it up inside SellerApp.

Step 1: Log in to SellerApp Dashboard

Navigate to your Amazon Advertising section, and select the campaign you want to optimize.

Step 2: Access Automation Rules

Go to Automation > Rules, then click Create New Rule.

Step 3: Choose Rule Type

Select “Placement Adjustment” as the rule type. You’ll be configuring rules that automatically update placement multipliers based on campaign or placement performance.

Step 4: Set Conditions

Choose your conditions to trigger the automation. For example:

If ACoS for Top of Search < 25% → Increase Top of Search bid multiplier by +30%.
If Conversions from Product Page = 0 over 7 days → Reduce Product Page multiplier by -20%.

You can define conditions using:

ACoS
CTR (Click Through Rate)
CPC (Cost per Click)
ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)
Conversion rate
Impressions or Clicks

Step 5: Define Actions

Based on the conditions, define the action SellerApp should take:

Increase/decrease Top of Search, Product Pages, or Rest of Search bid multiplier.
Set custom percentages for adjustment.

Step 6: Review and Save

Give the rule a name (e.g., “Top of Search Boost – Low ACoS”) and save it. You can also preview the campaigns it will impact before activating.
