SEO alone. PPC alone. Both are fine. Together, they're unfair.

SEO alone. PPC alone. Both are fine. Together, they're unfair.
Run Amazon SEO by itself and you get slow, steady organic rank - real, but it takes months to build and doesn't respond overnight to anything you do.
Run Amazon PPC by itself and you get instant traffic - real too, but it vanishes the moment you stop paying for it.
Neither one, alone, is the whole story. Combine them, and something different happens.
Every PPC click your listing earns pushes your organic rank up. Every keyword your ads prove converts becomes copy you feed straight into your listing and backend search terms. Rank climbs. Ad spend needed to hold that rank drops. It becomes a loop that feeds itself instead of two disconnected line items competing for budget.
Most sellers manage SEO and PPC as two separate jobs, run by two separate people, reporting two separate numbers that never talk to each other. That's the average dog. The buffed-up version only shows up when someone's actually connecting the two.
Stop treating them as separate strategies. Combine them, and the results stop looking average.
