Bid on royalties, not on ACOS.
AuthorBids joins your Amazon Ads spend to real per-title profit from Publisher Champ, then automates bid changes, pauses and keyword harvesting against your actual bottom line. Every action is explainable. Nothing runs without your guardrails.
Reads real profit
Every target maps to a book via its ASIN, and every book's net royalty comes straight from Publisher Champ. No ACOS proxy fights.
Rules propose, guardrails veto
Bid floor, ceiling, max % change and daily action cap are checked at write time against freshly synced values. No stale-data misfires.
Every action explained
“Paused because ACOR was 0.94 with title net profit -$42.10 over 30 days.” Full evidence in the action log. One-click rollback of any run.
Read-only until you say so
Rules run in dry-run by default. Review what would change, tune, then enable. No silent surprises.
How it works
Three moving parts. The middle one is where the money is.
Connect Amazon Ads + Publisher Champ
One-click OAuth for Amazon Ads. Paste your Publisher Champ API key. AuthorBids mirrors your campaign structure and pulls daily royalty data for every title.
Rules decide against real profit
The engine evaluates each keyword and product target against your book's actual net royalty over a settled window. Rules like “pause bleeders” and “feed winners” are shipped ready to enable.
Executor writes, guardrails watch
Every bid change and pause is logged before it's attempted, then verified afterwards. Hit a bid ceiling or the daily action cap and the whole run halts. Rollback any run in one click.
