Amazon PPC Budgets Are a Guess Until Data Proves Otherwise
from My Amazon Guy Hosted by Steven Pope
Send us Fan Mail Stop guessing your Amazon PPC budget. In this session, Noah Wickham from My Amazon Guy explains why there is no perfect starting bid or budget, why Amazon suggested bids are often misleading, and how sellers should use real campaign data to make smarter PPC decisions. Noah breaks down why PPC does not create sales by itself. It only gets your product in front of shoppers. Your click-through rate, conversion rate, listing quality, product fit, price, and reviews all decide whether that ad spend turns into profit. You’ll learn how to start with a testing budget, adjust bids based on impressions and spend, avoid blindly trusting Amazon’s suggestions, and know when you have enough data to make a decision.
