Launch from your book listing

Start with the book’s URL, choose keywords with AI assistance, and create campaigns through a guided setup. The workflow connects the listing to the ad account rather than beginning with an empty campaign.

Let bids respond to performance

The platform monitors campaign results and adjusts bids, keywords, and targeting as data arrives. This optimization applies only to campaigns created inside Publishing Performance; imported campaigns are reporting-only.

Account setup and campaign scope

Give keyword selection a head start

Suggestions draw on the book’s content and themes, market signals, and comparable-title performance, rather than requiring a blank keyword list.

Manage a catalogue together

Run campaigns for multiple books and connect additional marketplaces, with one Amazon Advertising connection permitted per region.

See which books and terms contribute

The dashboard summarizes ad performance; book-level reporting breaks results down further and identifies keywords associated with sales.

Bring existing ads into view

Existing Amazon campaigns can be imported for reporting. Initial imported data can take up to 36 hours to appear; those campaigns remain outside the platform’s optimization controls.
