The Amazon PPC Bid Staircase You Are Not Setting
from Performance Marketing with Fexingo: Paid Ads, ROAS, and Direct Response Conversations · host Fexingo
Episode 51 of Performance Marketing with Fexingo dives into a neglected Amazon PPC tactic: the bid staircase. Lucas explains how most sellers use a single flat bid or a top-of-search adjustment, missing the opportunity to set different bids for each ad placement tier—top of search, rest of search, and product pages. He walks through a real example from a kitchen-gadget brand that dropped ACOS from 32% to 21% by layering bids: a strong bid for top-of-search, a lower bid for rest-of-search, and a floor bid for product pages. Luna pushes back on complexity, and Lucas shows how to test it with a simple three-week A/B split. The episode also covers common pitfalls like overlapping adjustments and the Prime Day scramble.
