Description

Should You Use Amazon's Suggested Bids in Amazon PPC, or are they just a trap to spike your CPC and ACOS?

In this Amazon PPC deep dive, we break down what Amazon's suggested bids really mean, how they're calculated, and when you should ignore them.

You'll see how a $0.75 bid can still turn into $3 - 4 clicks, how max potential CPC works, and how to build a safer Amazon PPC bidding strategy around your own targets instead of Amazon's hints.

We also tackle exact match vs "exact intent", why one bad search term can kill a whole keyword when you negative it, and how to avoid nuking good traffic.

If you care about bid optimization, ACOS control, and understanding Amazon suggested bids like a pro, this episode is for you.
