To continue expanding, we must focus on finding new targets instead of just competitor campaigns. This video explains how general keywords sometimes trigger a brand's own names, requiring careful negation to improve ad relevance. Understanding your search term report is crucial for effective keyword optimization and improving ad performance.

Negating branded terms too early can limit your reach, especially if your growth depends on broad or competitor traffic. This walkthrough breaks down how to structure Amazon campaigns using non-branded keywords, portfolio setup, and audience targeting. Learn how to create smarter PPC campaigns, build high-value audiences, and decide when to move into DSP for scale.
