New Feature Alert! Helium 10 Ads now lets sellers create bid rules based on Keyword Tracker rankings.

This means you can get bid increase or decrease suggestions when your sponsored rank drops or improves for specific keywords, helping you stay competitive during launches without constantly checking ranks manually. It’s especially useful for sellers trying to maintain top sponsored placements and scale Amazon PPC optimization faster.
