Today Michael is coming to you solo recording from summer vacation in Switzerland to share a presentation he built for his friend Elizabeth Greene’s seminar on AI-based optimization for Amazon PPC.
The idea: AI is great at combining data. And the hardest part of Amazon PPC has always been that your ad console shows you revenue per click, cost per click, and target ACoS but it never shows you organic rank, impression share, or search query behavior sitting right next to it. Everything on Amazon is “one big ball mashed together,” so it’s genuinely hard to know where to lean into momentum and where to pull back.
Michael walks through the exact four reports to pull, how to feed them to your favorite AI chatbot (Gemini, ChatGPT, or Claude), and the prompt that turns all of it into a keyword-by-keyword action list bid up here, cut back there even if you’ve never opened a spreadsheet in your life.
Get the exact prompt. The full AI prompt Michael references in this episode, the one that cross-references organic rank, search query data, impression share, and ACoS into one action list is already sitting inside the free Badger Guide to Amazon PPC Checklist. Look for the section called “PPC with Organic Data and AI” on Row 209.
We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
