KDP Starter 05b: Booster | Low ACOS | Targets
Updated
December 18, 2024

What This Recipe Does

This Recipe is specifically tailored to amplify bid increases for targets with exceptionally low ACOS, beyond the standard settings of your Low ACOS Recipe. When a target qualifies, it triggers this Recipe in addition to the Low ACOS Recipe, resulting in a cumulative bid increase.

Segmenting by profit volume—low, moderate, and high—ensures that adjustments are based on the most relevant data:

  • Low volume: 30-day look back
  • Moderate volume: 14-day look back
  • High volume: 7-day look back

When to Use This Recipe

Implement this Recipe to aggressively capitalize on the success of your most efficient targets. It's designed for cases where targets are not just hitting but far surpassing your ACOS targets, warranting an accelerated bid strategy to maximize exposure and profitability.

Key Benefits

  • Increases reach and impression share for your most profitable targets.
  • Delivers compounded bid increases by activating alongside the Low ACOS Recipe.
  • Optimizes your ad spend by focusing on keywords that far exceed your profitability benchmarks.

Composer Customization Tips

  • Set the blended ACOS threshold for this Recipe to be tighter than that of your Low ACOS Recipe, ensuring it reserves the increased bid adjustments for only the top-performing targets.
  • Make use of the global options to selectively include or exclude campaigns and ad groups based on keywords.

Recommended Schedule & Actions

  • Adjust bids by an additional 2-4% daily, on top of the Low ACOS Recipe's adjustments, effectively doubling the bid increase for eligible targets.
  • Start with the lower percentage for steady growth or opt for the higher percentage for a more rapid expansion of high-performing targets.
