One playbook per campaign, chosen for what the product needs
A playbook tells the autopilot what a campaign is for. Launch gives a new product room to gather data, Rank pushes organic rank on hero keywords, Growth buys more sales at about break-even, Profit tightens toward margin, Defend is for your brand searches, and Liquidate clears overstock. The strategy advisor recommends one for every campaign, with the reason.
Six ads playbooks: Launch, Rank, Growth, Profit, Defend and Liquidate, with an advisor per campaign.
- Six playbooks, each with its own target, bid steps, harvest and negative bars, budgets and top-of-search ceiling
- An advisor per campaign: lifecycle, ACOS against target, budget use, stock cover, branded clicks
- Automatic playbooks (optional) follow the product's lifecycle
- Targets start from each product's break-even ACOS (or from your account target when costs are missing)
How it works
Each playbook sets the rules
Its target (from break-even ACOS), how far bids move per step, when a search becomes a keyword or a negative, how budgets move, the top-of-search ceiling and how it treats organic rank.
The advisor recommends one
For each enabled Sponsored Products campaign: the playbook now, the recommended one and why, from the product's lifecycle (new, overstock, low stock), ACOS against target, budget use, stock cover and branded clicks.
You set it
Pick a playbook per campaign, or switch on automatic playbooks so the product's lifecycle sets it.
The autopilot follows it
On Auto, the morning run applies the campaign's playbook inside your guardrails; on Suggest, every change it would make waits for your OK.
The six playbooks
- Launch: a higher target while a new product gathers data; no pausing and no budget cuts
- Rank: pays for top of search on its tracked main keywords while the product ranks below your goal position, then eases off
- Growth: more sales at about break-even
- Profit: tighter toward your margin
- Defend: your brand searches and product pages kept running: branded terms never blocked or paused, budgets never cut
- Liquidate: spends up to 150% of break-even ACOS to sell through overstock, and ends by itself when stock is back to normal
What it does not do
Stated plainly, so you know before you start.
- A playbook works inside your budget cap, bid limits and largest move per run; its own top-of-search ceiling (for example 200% for Launch, 300% for Rank) applies instead of your top-of-search limit
- Automatic playbooks are off until you switch them on
- The advisor is read-only: it recommends, you set
