#612 – Amazon PPC + Adtomic Masterclass
In early 2024 Helium 10 released masterclass #612 showing how its Adtomic platform links to the Amazon Advertising API to display real‑time spend and sales, import 150 Magnet‑generated keywords with one click, and apply bid rules that raise bids 15% for ≥8% conversion and cut 10% for ACOS >30%, cutting weekly optimization from 3‑4 hrs to under 30 min.
Overview
In early 2024 Helium 10 published episode #612 of its masterclass series, where Amazon seller Bradley walks participants through a complete pay‑per‑click (PPC) workflow built on the Helium 10 Adtomic platform. The session demonstrates how to construct, fine‑tune, and expand Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display campaigns without the manual spreadsheet gymnastics many sellers still rely on. Understanding this process is crucial for sellers who want to shrink wasted ad spend, lower ACOS, and reallocate time toward product development or inventory planning.
Key Points
- Adtomic‑Amazon API link — The platform connects directly to Amazon’s advertising API, pulling real‑time metrics for all three ad types, which means a seller can see yesterday’s spend and today’s sales in a single view.
- One‑click keyword import — Using Helium 10’s Magnet tool, Bradley extracts 150 high‑intent search terms and transfers them into an Adtomic campaign with a single button, eliminating the need for CSV uploads.
- Rule‑based bid automation — He configures a rule that lifts bids by 15 % for keywords that achieve an 8 % conversion rate over a rolling seven‑day window while trimming bids by 10 % on any term whose ACOS climbs above 30 %.
- Unified performance dashboard — A custom dashboard aggregates spend, revenue, and ACOS across every ad group, allowing a seller to spot a 20 % sales spike in one ad group within minutes instead of hours of manual analysis.
- Phased scaling method — The masterclass outlines a three‑stage approach: launch a low‑budget “test” campaign, validate ROAS, then clone winning ad groups and raise daily budgets by roughly 25 % using Adtomic’s built‑in cloning tool.
- Time‑saving automation — By automating bid adjustments and keyword pausing, the workflow reduces weekly optimization tasks from several hours to under 30 minutes, freeing up resources for other growth initiatives.
How Adtomic Works
- Authorize Amazon Advertising Access — Sellers grant Adtomic read/write permission to their Seller Central account; for example, a vendor of stainless‑steel kitchen tools instantly sees all existing Sponsored Products campaigns appear in the Adtomic interface.

Rule‑based bid automation (±15%/10%) and one‑click keyword imports reduce weekly optimization from hours to minutes, while the cloning tool lets budgets grow ~25% after a successful test phase.
