E2 When and how we scale your spend
Read this flowchart as text
- Candidate to scale: campaign / ASIN
- ACoS ≤ target for 2 weeks?
- Optimise first (B15 / B16)
- Stock ≥ 45 days?
- Restock first (D13) — scaling into a stockout kills rank
- Out of budget daily?
- Budget +20–30% / week
- Bids +10–15% on winners · TOS modifier · expand exact terms from SQP
- Add a layer: SB video → SD retargeting → competitor conquest → new marketplace
- 7 days later: ACoS ≤ target?
- Repeat from the stock gate next week
- Hold — this is the efficient frontier until CVR or price improves
