In the first part, let\u2019s learn about different PPC goals and how to structure your campaigns. The second part talks about the PPC optimization process. As part of the optimization, we further divided the tasks into daily, weekly, and monthly activities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So let\u2019s dive into the details.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Our PPC optimization process is categorized based on their timelines &#8211; Daily activities, weekly activities, and bi-monthly activities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"setting-the-right-ppc-goal\">Setting the right PPC Goal\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Irrespective of the number of products you are advertising, you need to understand your campaign goals for each product you are advertising. Carefully consider what you are trying to achieve. Your campaign goals can be to kick off early initial sales, get visibility, or target your bottom line profits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Each product you advertise must have one of the three end-goals mentioned below:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Launch phase <\/strong>&#8211; Gain initial sales momentum &amp; visibility<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Ranking optimization or Organic sales growth<\/strong> &#8211; Increase organic search visibility<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Scale fast strategy<\/strong> &#8211; Increase sales volume by bidding aggressively<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Go through your ACoS targets and the strategy for each PPC goal.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Check this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/amazon-ppc-basics\/\">detailed guide<\/a> on how to use Amazon PPC for better results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before we delve into the PPC optimization process, let\u2019s take a look at a few best practices to structure your ad campaigns.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kick-off-the-campaigns-pre-requisite\">Kick off the campaigns &#8211; Pre-requisite<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Start your automatic campaigns. Keep them up and running.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Start with at least one automatic and one manual campaign. Automatic campaigns will help you discover popular buyer search terms and identify converting keywords. These keywords are automatically selected by Amazon\u2019s algorithms. Auto campaigns are easy to maintain and it takes less effort to start them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As these keywords are selected automatically by Amazon, bidding happens at the ad group level and provides very little control.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Note: The listing\u2019s title, bullet points, product description, and keywords must be optimized for automatic campaigns to run properly. Amazon picks the keywords for your automatic campaigns based on your listings.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On the other hand, you need to categorize your manual campaigns based on:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Keyword targeting<\/li>\r\n<li>Product targeting<\/li>\r\n<li>Category targeting<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"one-time-optimization-activities\">One-time optimization activities<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are a few tasks that you need to set up before you start optimizing your campaigns.
