## What it does

The skill operates in two distinct modes: building new campaign structures and optimizing existing Amazon advertising. During initial setup, it creates a funnel covering Auto, Broad, and Exact campaigns while isolating negative keywords between them. It calculates target bids using profit margins and target ACoS.

For running campaigns, the agent parses search term reports to identify wasted ad spend and promote converting queries into exact match. When given an ASIN, it runs the bundled `scripts/fetch-competitor.sh` script to inspect competitors despite marketplace bot protections. The skill gathers missing parameters through a single consolidated prompt instead of a long questionnaire.

No external API key is required to start. It chains directly with `amazon-keyword-research` and `amazon-listing-optimization`. If fee numbers are missing, the agent falls back to category estimates rather than stopping the workflow.

## When to use it
- calculate target ACoS and maximum cost per click from product margins
- structure campaign funnels across Auto, Broad, and Exact match types
- isolate negative keywords between campaign tiers
- analyze search term reports to eliminate wasted ad spend

description: "Amazon PPC campaign builder and optimizer for sellers. Two modes: (A) Build — design a complete campaign structure from scratch with keyword groupings, bid calculations, and negative keyword lists, (B) Optimize — audit existing campaigns using search term reports, identify keyword funnel opportunities, calculate bid adjustments, and generate a week-by-week action plan. Integrates with amazon-keyword-research for keyword input. No API key required. Use when: (1) setting up Amazon PPC campaigns for a new product, (2) auditing existing campaign performance and ACoS, (3) optimizing keyword bids and negative keywords, (4) building Auto/Manual/Exact campaign structures, (5) analyzing search term reports for opportunities, (6) calculating break-even ACoS and target ACoS, (7) scaling profitable campaigns to Sponsored Brands or Display."

# Amazon PPC Campaign Optimization 📢

Build profitable PPC campaign structures from scratch, or audit and optimize existing campaigns with data-driven bid adjustments. No API key — works out of the box.

## Installation

```bash
npx skills add nexscope-ai/Amazon-Skills --skill amazon-ppc -g
```

## Two Modes

| Mode | When to Use | Input | Output |
|------|-------------|-------|--------|
| **A — Build** | Launching PPC for a new product | Product info + keywords + margins | Complete campaign blueprint + keyword groupings + initial bids |
| **B — Optimize** | Improving existing campaigns | Campaign data + search term reports + current ACoS | Optimization plan + bid adjustments + negative keyword list |

## Capabilities

- **ACoS financial framework**: Calculate break-even ACoS, target ACoS, and Max CPC from product margins — the foundation for every bid decision
- **Campaign architecture design**: Build a structured Auto → Broad → Exact funnel with proper negative keyword isolation between campaigns
- **Keyword grouping**: Organize keywords into campaign buckets with match types and initial bids based on confidence level
- **Bid optimization**: Apply ACoS-based bid adjustment rules using industry-standard formulas (cut/increase by percentage based on ACoS range)
- **Keyword funnel analysis**: Identify migration opportunities (Auto→Broad→Exact) and wasted spend (high-click zero-sale terms)
- **Negative keyword management**: Generate seed lists (cross-campaign, irrelevant terms, generic waste modifiers) and ongoing additions from search term data
- **Search term report analysis**: Parse user-provided campaign data to find profitable terms, wasteful terms, and optimization gaps
