Amazon PPC Manager

Multi-brand ads seat across a large wellness portfolio. You live in campaigns and bulk sheets — cut waste, harvest winners, keep TACOS honest. AI accelerates you; it does not replace judgment.

Sponsored Products, Brands, and Display across many ASINs. We hire people who open a real workbook, name the burn in dollars, and defend a 14-day plan on Loom — not people who recite PPC theory.

Specific calls on this account. Clear opinions. Clean structure. Honest AI labels.

You can edit answers until you submit the full application.

1. A search term has spend, clicks, and zero orders over 14 days with enough clicks to judge. Default first move?

Raise bid to get more volumeNegate or pause and reallocate budget to proven convertersMove it to broad match everywhereIgnore until end of month

2. Best definition of TACOS vs ACOS?

TACOS = ad spend ÷ ad sales; ACOS = ad spend ÷ total salesACOS = ad spend ÷ ad-attributed sales; TACOS = ad spend ÷ total store salesThey are the same metric with different dashboardsTACOS only applies to Sponsored Brands

3. You find a converting search term winning inside auto/broad while an exact campaign for the same term is under-budgeted. Strongest next structure move?

Leave both competing; “more coverage”Harvest to exact (or exact-product), negate from auto/broad, fund the exactPause exact and keep auto onlyDuplicate the term across every match type at the same bid

4. When is a higher ACOS often acceptable?

Never — ACOS must always fallLaunch / rank / defensive brand moments if TACOS and contribution still workAnytime ROAS looks good in a screenshotOnly on Display

5. Portfolio shows winners starving by late morning while losers keep spend. First budget instinct?

Flat budget increase on everythingShift budget to winners; throttle or pause losers; fix dayparting if neededTurn off all ads until tomorrowOnly change bids, never budgets

6. ASIN isolation is most useful when:

You want one campaign for the whole catalog foreverWinners and dogs share budgets/bids and muddy learningYou only run one SKUYou refuse to use bulk sheets

7. Placement modifier (e.g. Top of Search) should go up when:

That placement converts efficiently at current bidsYou feel luckyACOS is already worse there but spend is funAlways max every placement

8. AI drafts a 40-line negate list. Your job?

Upload blindly — speed winsVerify intent, sample size, and brand terms; keep decisions you own; disclose AI useReject all AI foreverOnly negate exact matches AI liked

9. Brand defense vs generic prospecting — wrong statement?

Brand often protects efficient conquest of your own termsGeneric needs tighter waste control and clearer harvest rulesMixing brand+generic in one chaotic ad group is fine at scaleStructure should make budget and intent readable

10. “Wasted spend” in an audit should be stated as:

Vibes onlyNamed campaigns/terms + estimated $ impact + action (pause/negate/restructure)A single screenshot with no numbersCompetitor blog quotes

11. In 4–6 sentences: how do you decide a search term is ready to harvest to exact vs stay in research?

12. In 4–6 sentences: what assumptions do you need before calling 2–4 week ACOS and TACOS direction after a restructure?
