The PPC Den: Amazon PPC Advertising Mastery

A Case for Segmenting Branded Keywords in Amazon PPC [AMZ PPC # 138]


Listen Later

Should we segment branded keywords? It’s been almost two years since Ad Badger last shared opinions on segmenting branded keywords. Our consensus then: too much effort for the results.

Clifford Donovan, a Senior Amazon Media Buyer at Pilothouse Digital, convinces Michael that segmenting branded keywords is more important than ever because of Amazon’s spike in CPC costs. Learn if it’s ever not worth it to segment, how to approach branded segmentation for older accounts, and PPC goal setting based on funnels on this week’s episode of The PPC Den.
