Five campaign types
One week
Zero data harvested
That's not an aggressive launch
That's expensive impatience disguised as strategy
PPC accounts that scale follow sequence
Accounts that stall try to do everything at once
Sequence is the strategy
First two weeks aren't about sales
They're about data harvest
Auto and broad pull search terms
no keyword tool will give you
Skip the harvest and the next 30 days are guesswork
Brand defense is the cheapest
highest converting traffic on Amazon
Most accounts under 90 days old ignore i
Lock that real estate down or every dollar
of brand awareness funds someone else's sale
Conquest targeting only works after the listing
can convert against incumbents
Going after established sellers
with a 12 review listing
is the most expensive way
to teach Amazon your ASIN
doesn't deserve placement
Bidding aggressively on every keyword isn't strategy
It's a budget bonfire
Five to ten keywords drive revenue share
Those get top of search bids
Long tail gets harvested
then retired or scaled based on conversion data
Optimization isn't a final phase
It's a weekly operating rhythm
that starts the day campaigns turn on
The metric to watch at each transition isn't ACoS
It's share of voice on top category keywords
ACoS during a launch will misread the data
Share of voice tells you whether the plan
is actually moving market share
The sellers who win Amazon don't run faster
They run in order
