Questions, answered
Will it change campaign budgets or bids automatically?
No. WebRun posts the pacing digest and flags which campaigns need adjustment, but all budget and bid changes are made by a human in Campaign Manager or Helium 10 Ads.
Which campaign types does it cover?
It covers Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display campaigns that are active in your account, pulling data from both Helium 10 Ads and Amazon Campaign Manager.
What does Over Pacing or Under Pacing mean in the digest?
Over Pacing means the campaign is spending faster than its monthly budget can sustain and is projected to run out before month end. Under Pacing means spend is too low relative to the budget and you may be leaving impressions on the table.
