The black box
Solutions on the market are often opaque. With a “black box” you never know exactly what is happening in the background – and it is difficult to trace.

Starting point
Do you know what your PPC tool is doing in the background?
Anyone who entrusts their Amazon PPC Advertising to a tool should know what it does. Do you recognise your current tool in one of these four points?
Fixed algorithms instead of your strategy
Other PPC tools are usually limited to fixed algorithms and the specifications of the tool. These often do not address the individual needs of the product and the user, and your control remains limited.
Only part of it can be controlled
In some cases only Sponsored Products can be controlled, and only the performance of the campaign as a whole is considered. Optimization mostly happens at campaign level only, not specifically at ASIN level.
A narrow data basis
Usually only the last 90 days are available, and usually there are no further data points outside the Advertising API.

Other PPC tools are usually limited to fixed algorithms and tool specifications. In the PPC-Butler almost any strategy can be mapped – with AND, OR, IF-THEN-ELSE and mathematical operations.
Create an unlimited number of workflows. With customized workflows you are much more effective in competitive niches than with a rigid mathematical algorithm. Precisely control each of your targets individually, no matter what campaign structure you have.

More data points: ranking, placement and data from sign-up
The position of the product (organic/sponsored) can be used for control. If your keywords are already ranking in the top positions organically, you can reduce your bids and maximize the profit of your campaigns.
Control your bids specifically for top of search, product pages and rest of search – for maximum efficiency of your budget. User data is recorded from sign-up onwards and is available for control.
In detail
Search term transfer across all advertising formats
Your PPC Butler can transfer search terms fully automatically to all existing advertising formats based on your defined KPIs, for example from Sponsored Products (SP) to Sponsored Brands (SB) or from Sponsored Display Ads (SDA) to Sponsored Products (SP).
Harvest, or only set negatives, or also: search term contains “brand”, then move to SP brand protection. Other PPC tools are not very flexible here and do not work across advertising formats.
The comparison
PPC-Butler vs. other PPC tools in direct comparison
Fourteen points that make the difference in Amazon PPC Advertising – from transparency to search term transfer.
| Topic | PPC-Butler | Other PPC tools |
|---|---|---|
| Transparency | Completely transparent, every adjustment is traceable and is specified by the user. | Often non-transparent (“black box”), difficult to understand what is happening in the background. |
| Control | User has complete control over all adjustments. | Limited control, often dependent on predefined algorithms. |
| Customizability | Individual adaptations possible, flexible to user requirements. Custom solutions are also offered. | Usually limited to fixed algorithms and tool specifications. |
| Individual strategies | Almost any strategy can be mapped, Single Keyword Campaign, In-Season, Out-Season and much more. | Use fixed algorithms that often do not address the individual needs of the product and user. |
| Ranking-based control | The position of the product (organic/sponsored) can be used for control. | Usually no further data points available outside the Advertising API. |
| Control placement bids (bid modifier) | Control your bids specifically for top of search, product pages and rest of search – for maximum efficiency of your budget. | No separate adjustment of placement bids possible – the algorithm takes over the distribution. |
| Controllable levels | Each target can be controlled individually, campaign budgets, search terms, advertised products in ad groups and much more. | In some cases only Sponsored Products, only the entire campaign performance is considered. |
| Advertising formats | All advertising formats | In some cases only Sponsored Products |
| Interval | Hourly, daily, weekly, fixed date, every year on and more. | Mostly technologically restricted, sometimes via the Amazon data stream, but then no control of Sponsored Brands and Display Ads possible. |
| Data basis | User data is recorded from sign-up onwards and is available for control. | Usually only the last 90 days. |
| Campaign structure | Works with any campaign structure without restrictions. | Fixed specifications, in some cases new campaigns are created by the tool. |
| Technology/logic | AND, OR, IF-THEN-ELSE, mathematical operations. | Mostly fixed values as AND links and few data points. |
| Optimizations | Specific per product, specific per target. | No specific control at ASIN level, mostly only optimizations at campaign level. |
| Search term transfer | From any advertising format to any advertising format (SP -> SB; SB -> SP). Harvest, or only set negatives, or also: search term contains “brand”, then move to SP brand protection. | Not very flexible, not across advertising formats. |
