AdsPilot knowledge center

Clear answers about the tools, data and decisions behind AdsPilot.

Understand what each PPC workflow does, how automation remains under customer control, how official Amazon data is processed and which capabilities are still rolling out.

Getting started

What AdsPilot is, how the account connection works and what customers see first.

What is AdsPilot?

AdsPilot is an Amazon PPC and growth operations system in private beta. Its rule-based Opportunity Algorithm is designed to connect advertising, profitability, inventory, pricing, Buy Box, product, creative and operational signals in one prioritized decision queue as each capability becomes available.

Who is AdsPilot for?

Start is for sellers who want explained decisions and individual approval. Profit adds verified rule-based automation. Growth adds all supported regions, teams and four-eyes approval. Enterprise coordinates multiple Seller IDs, while Agency Access, Workspace and Agency Pro separate professional client operating models.

What is available now?

Amazon Ads opportunity review, core PPC analysis, approval foundations, Dayparting analysis and Campaign Planner drafts are available within the documented private-beta scope. Other capabilities show Controlled rollout or In development instead of being presented as generally released.

How quickly can AdsPilot show useful information?

Timing depends on authorization, Amazon reporting delay, historical depth, attribution maturity and required cost or retail inputs. AdsPilot shows synchronization, freshness, missing data and readiness rather than promising an identical result time for every account.

Do I connect Amazon Ads and Seller Central separately?

Amazon Ads and Selling Partner API permissions use separate official interfaces and can require separate Amazon consent steps. AdsPilot presents them inside one guided checklist and shows which data source is connected, pending or missing.

Does AdsPilot need my Amazon password?

No. Authorization uses Amazon's official flows. AdsPilot does not ask you to share your Seller Central password, and authorization can be revoked through the available Amazon or AdsPilot account controls.

What happens if Amazon data is delayed or incomplete?

Affected decisions should show stale or missing inputs and stop before unsafe execution. AdsPilot is designed to fail closed: unavailable evidence does not silently become permission to act.

Creative, finance, shipping and professional use

How AdsPilot grows beyond a standalone PPC optimizer without overstating rollout status.

What does Creative Studio do?

Creative Studio is designed to connect verified product facts, marketplace language, keyword intent, approvals and versions across listing copy, images, infographics, A+ Content and video. Individual generation and publishing workflows are released separately after quality, rights and production verification.

What does Finance Intelligence do?

It is designed to connect revenue, Amazon fees, PPC spend, COGS or landed cost, returns and fulfillment context to contribution profit, break-even ACoS and profit leaks. It is operational profitability intelligence, not tax or bookkeeping software.

What does Shipping & Inbound Planning do?

The planned module connects inbound status, replenishment context, supplier and transport lead times, inventory cover and marketplace demand with advertising decisions. Autonomous shipment execution is not currently claimed.

Does AdsPilot include inventory and Buy Box information?

The product path includes inventory, pricing, offer and Buy Box signals from authorized SP-API data. Each data set must be fresh and verified for the relevant marketplace before it can influence a controlled decision.

What is Enterprise?

Enterprise coordinates multiple Seller IDs with isolated data, central priorities, reporting and governance. It starts at 399€ for two Seller IDs and adds 150€ for each additional ID; Enterprise Pro covers individually agreed identity, security, integration or SLA requirements.

How do Agency Access, Workspace and Agency Pro differ?

Agency Access is a free delegated role inside one directly paying customer's account. Agency Workspace costs 149€/month and coordinates clients who pay AdsPilot directly. Agency Pro costs 1199€/month, includes six agency-billed Growth mandates, white label and API/Webhooks, and makes the agency responsible for onboarding and first-line support.

Are API, webhooks and white label available?

API and Webhooks are optional for Agency Workspace at 99€/month and included with Agency Pro. White label is included with Agency Pro. Each capability still follows the verified rollout status shown on the pricing page.

What support is included?

The website assistant handles general AdsPilot questions first. Account-specific or unresolved requests can be escalated through verified email support. No response-time SLA applies unless an individual Enterprise agreement explicitly includes one.

Where can I see whether a feature is released?

The Features and Pricing pages show whether a capability is available, in controlled rollout or in development. A higher plan does not unlock an execution path that has not passed its required production verification.

PPC tools and decisions

Concrete answers about the capabilities sellers commonly compare between Amazon PPC tools.

What does the Opportunity Center do?

It turns detected issues and growth possibilities into a ranked queue. Each opportunity can show the observation, expected contribution, evidence, counterevidence, missing inputs, confidence, risk, data maturity, readiness and proposed next step.

What does Bid Optimization do?

It evaluates bid increase and decrease candidates against performance evidence, configured objectives and applicable profit or retail guardrails. A recommendation does not become an Amazon change unless the selected workflow and customer authority permit it.

What is Keyword Harvesting?

Keyword Harvesting identifies customer search terms that have produced sufficiently useful evidence and prepares them as controlled targets in the appropriate campaign structure. AdsPilot keeps the source evidence and intended negative separation visible.

What is ASIN Harvesting?

ASIN Harvesting identifies product targets with useful performance evidence and prepares them for controlled reuse or separation. It follows the same evidence, approval and audit model as keyword decisions.

How are negative keywords and targets handled?

AdsPilot can identify waste, irrelevance or structural overlap and prepare keyword or ASIN negatives. Confidence, attribution delay and the effect on related campaigns should be checked before a supported action is approved or automated.

What does budget optimization do?

It detects budget-constrained campaigns and inefficient budget allocation, then proposes capped changes when conversion, profitability, attribution and retail conditions support them. It is not simply a rule to spend every available euro.

What is Placement Optimization?

It evaluates Top of Search, Rest of Search and Product Page performance separately and prepares placement adjustment decisions when the data is mature enough. Placement changes remain subject to the selected approval or automation limits.

What does Dayparting do?

Dayparting analyzes performance by time of day and prepares scheduling or bid-timing recommendations when hourly evidence is sufficiently mature. Thin data, time-zone differences and attribution delay remain visible instead of being converted into false precision.

What does the Campaign Planner create?

The Campaign Planner prepares reviewable Auto, Broad, Exact and product-targeting structures from available product and performance evidence. Customers can inspect the draft before a supported creation workflow is approved.

Does AdsPilot optimize only for ACoS?

No. ACoS remains an important advertising metric, but AdsPilot is designed to connect it with contribution profit, break-even thresholds, inventory, price, Buy Box and product readiness when those inputs are verified.

Algorithm, forecasts and automation

How AdsPilot learns, explains uncertainty and keeps the customer in control.

What makes the Opportunity Algorithm rule-based?

Detection and permission boundaries are defined through explicit rules, thresholds, relationships and safeguards. Statistical or model-assisted components may support a forecast or explanation, but they do not remove the documented decision gates.

Does AdsPilot use AI for every decision?

No. Core checks, rules, calculations, data validation and workflow permissions can run deterministically. AI may assist selected explanations or creative workflows where disclosed, but it is not a substitute for verified Amazon data or customer authority.

What is a backtest?

A backtest replays a proposed rule on available historical data. It can expose weak assumptions and estimate how often a rule would have triggered, but it cannot guarantee that future market conditions will behave the same way.

What is Shadow Mode?

Shadow Mode records what AdsPilot would have recommended while leaving Amazon unchanged. Customers can compare the recommendations with subsequent outcomes before granting a supported workflow more authority.

Why does AdsPilot show a forecast corridor instead of one number?

Traffic, conversion, CPC, price, promotions, competition, inventory and attribution can change. A corridor communicates a defensible range and its uncertainty more honestly than a guaranteed-looking point estimate.

What does confidence mean?

Confidence summarizes the strength and consistency of the available evidence for that decision. It is not a promise of success and should be read together with risk, missing inputs, data maturity and contradictory signals.

What are Observe, Recommend, Approval and Guarded Automation?

Observe records signals without preparing changes. Recommend explains a proposed next step. Approval queues a supported action for human release. Guarded Automation permits only explicitly enabled workflows to act inside customer-defined rules, limits and safeguards.

Can I automate one action type but keep another manual?

Yes. The intended control model separates action groups so customers can choose different authority, veto windows and daily limits for bids, negatives, harvesting, placements, budgets and other supported workflows.

What is four-eyes approval?

A preparer and a separately assigned reviewer can be required before selected actions are released. Growth and higher operating models use this for decisions that should not be approved by the same person who prepared them.

How does AdsPilot learn from an action?

It records the baseline, decision, approval, execution readback and later result, then compares the observed outcome with the expected range. Attribution windows and outside influences remain part of the review.

Plans, regions and billing

How scope, fixed pricing and the trial work as an Amazon operation grows.

What does AdsPilot cost?

Start costs 49€/month. Profit costs 99€/month or 59€/month for a qualifying Launch Member. Growth costs 249€/month or 149€/month for a qualifying Launch Member. Enterprise starts at 399€/month for two Seller IDs, and Agency Pro starts at 1199€/month for six agency-billed Growth mandates.

Does AdsPilot charge a percentage of ad spend?

No. AdsPilot uses fixed monthly software prices and transparent scope add-ons. The fee is never calculated as a percentage of ad spend.

What is an active region?

A region groups supported Amazon countries that belong to one operating area, such as Europe or the Americas. Every supported country inside an activated region is included, but a country becomes actionable only after its required profiles, listings, data and workflow are verified.

Can AdsPilot show countries that are not in my paid scope?

Yes. Detected or Discovery countries can remain visible without becoming continuously monitored or actionable. Mere visibility, an unused advertising profile or a one-time readiness check does not automatically add paid operating scope.

When should I move from Profit to Growth?

Choose Growth when one Seller ID needs coordinated decisions across all supported regions or when multiple people, roles, bulk decisions, an approval inbox or four-eyes control become part of the operating process.

How long does the Launch Member price last?

The protected price lasts for the lifetime of the continuously active qualifying subscription. Profit Launch Members keep 59€ and Growth Launch Members keep 149€. Cancellation ends the protected price; regional add-ons remain separately priced.

How does the 14-day trial work?

The selected plan, price and remaining free days stay visible. Billing begins on day 15; cancel before then and no subscription charge is made. Upgrades, downgrades and cancellation remain available during the trial.

What are credits used for?

Core analysis, monitoring and supported PPC workflows do not consume credits. Cost-bearing external services, such as selected media generation, are billed separately through credits. Detailed allowances and prices will be published before those paid services are activated.

Privacy, GDPR and security

What data is processed, when consent is required and how sellers remain in control.

Is AdsPilot GDPR compliant?

AdsPilot is designed and operated around GDPR requirements including purpose limitation, data minimization, documented legal bases, transparent information, access controls and data-subject rights. Compliance is an ongoing legal and operational responsibility, not a one-time badge or guarantee. The current processing details and providers are listed in the Privacy Policy.

Which legal bases does AdsPilot use?

Depending on the activity, processing may be necessary for a contract or requested pre-contractual steps, a legal obligation, a documented legitimate interest such as service security, or optional consent. Optional website analytics do not become a condition for using the core website.

What Amazon data can AdsPilot process?

Only data covered by the seller's authorization and the selected capability is processed. Depending on scope, this can include advertising performance, campaigns, targets, search terms, product and listing context, inventory, orders, fees, pricing, offers, fulfillment and settlement context.

Where does Amazon account data come from?

Amazon account data comes only from official Amazon sources through the Amazon Ads API and Selling Partner API. AdsPilot does not use scraped third-party seller data as a substitute for the seller's authorized account information.

Do you sell customer data or combine one seller's data with another?

No. AdsPilot does not sell personal data and does not use one seller's Amazon account data to create account-specific insights for another seller.

Is website analytics optional?

Yes. AdsPilot's privacy-minimized first-party measurement starts only after analytics consent. It stores aggregate interaction signals without form contents, raw IP addresses or persistent visitor identifiers. The preference can be changed through Privacy choices in the footer.

What is stored from website searches and chatbot questions?

With optional analytics consent, automatically redacted and de-identified search terms and public chat questions may be counted in aggregate to identify popular topics and missing explanations. The public chat is not connected to an Amazon account, and users are told not to enter credentials or customer data.

Does the public chatbot receive my Amazon data?

No. The public website assistant is separate from authenticated Amazon account data. Account-aware AI is planned and inactive; the productive SP-API application does not automatically route seller-authorized SP-API data to an AI provider.

Which service providers may process data?

The current Privacy Policy names providers used for hosting, Amazon authorization, payments, email, abuse prevention, optional analytics and selected AI-assisted functions. Data is shared only as needed for the stated purpose, legal obligations or customer instruction.

How long is data retained?

Retention depends on the data category, purpose, contract, security need, legal obligation and applicable Amazon rules. AdsPilot does not claim one universal period for every data type; customers can request the current period for a category.

What privacy rights do users have?

Subject to the statutory requirements, users may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or object to processing, and may withdraw consent for the future. Identity may need to be verified before a request is fulfilled.

How is account access protected?

AdsPilot uses HTTPS/TLS, restricted server-side access, protected credential storage, authorization checks and operational monitoring. No internet service can promise absolute security, so affected permissions can also be revoked.
