Zero impressions = zero data.
And zero data means you can't optimize anything.
Before you assume the keyword doesn't work,
check these three things first:
① Relevancy gap
Amazon won't show your ad if it doesn't think your product matches the search. Check that your title, bullets, and backend keywords align tightly with what you're targeting.
② Your bid is too low
Sometimes the competitive floor is way higher than the suggested bid. Start from where you are and increase by 3 cents every other day.. not all at once. Set a bid cap (usually 1.25–1.5x your average CPC) so you don't spiral into $20 bids.
③ Budget running out early
Even a strong bid means nothing if your daily budget is gone by 9am. Check the Budgets tab in Seller Central.. it'll show you whether you're running out and when.
Fix these in order.
Most impression issues fall into one of these three.
