Yes, Adspert supports placement bid adjustments on Amazon.

What are amazon bid adjustments?

Amazon bid adjustments are percentage variations that you can apply to your base bids to prioritize specific ad placements—such as “Top of Search” or “Product Pages.” They help you influence where your ads appear on Amazon, giving you more control over visibility and performance for your Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands campaigns.

You can let Amazon automatically apply these bid increases (up to 900%) or set them manually in the Amazon Ads interface. For example, with a $1 default bid and a 900% multiplier, your bid can reach up to $10 for top placements.

Note: Amazon frequently updates their placement definitions and has migrated the old "Bid +" feature to placement adjustments, typically at 50% for Top of Search.

Adspert Support

  • Adspert supports Amazon placement bid adjustments for Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands campaigns.

  • You can set these multipliers manually in Amazon; Adspert will use your settings in its optimization logic.

  • Adspert does not currently set or change these multipliers automatically, but will respect and optimize based on what you configure in Amazon Ads.

Bid adjustments can be turned off by our support team if you wish so, however please be aware that this can be done only for the entire account not for specific Performance Groups or campaigns.
