🚀 Amazon PPC Funnel Strategy: TOF vs M*F vs BOF (Advanced Breakdown)
Most Amazon accounts fail because campaigns are structured by keywords — not by audience intent.
If you’re not segmenting by funnel stage, you’re optimizing blindly.
Here’s how high-performance accounts are built 👇
🔵 TOP OF FUNNEL (TOF) – Awareness
Audience: • Category browsers
• Competitor viewers
• Broad searchers
• Lifestyle / in-market DSP audiences
Campaign Types: • Sponsored Products (Auto + Broad)
• Sponsored Brands (Video for discovery)
• Sponsored Display (Interest targeting)
• DSP prospecting
Strategy: • Broad & category targeting
• Lower bids for exploration
• Aggressive negative keyword filtering
• Harvest converting terms weekly
KPIs: CTR, New-to-Brand %, Detail Page Views
Important:
TOF is NOT about ACOS.
It’s about traffic quality + audience building.
🟡 MID FUNNEL (M*F) – Consideration
Audience: • Product viewers (7–30 days)
• Add-to-cart users
• Competitor product visitors
• Phrase match searchers
Campaign Types: • Sponsored Display (Views remarketing)
• Sponsored Products (Phrase & refined manual)
• ASIN targeting campaigns
• DSP retargeting
Strategy: • Segment by recency (0–7, 8–14, 15–30 days)
• Increase bids for high CVR search terms
• Isolate converting ASIN targets
• Use search term migration from TOF
KPIs: CVR, ATC rate, ACOS, TACOS
M*F is where intent is built and refined.
🔴 BOTTOM OF FUNNEL (BOF) – Conversion
Audience: • Cart abandoners
• Branded keyword searchers
• Repeat visitors
• High-CVR exact keywords
Campaign Types: • Sponsored Products (Exact match isolation)
• Branded defense campaigns
• Sponsored Display retargeting
• High-bid DSP remarketing
Strategy: • Highest budget priority
• Placement bid adjustments (Top of Search)
• Exact keyword isolation
• Prevent internal campaign competition
KPIs: ROAS, ACOS, Profit per keyword
BOF drives revenue.
This is where scaling happens.
💡 Advanced Ex*****on Tips
✔ Separate budgets per funnel stage
✔ Never mix TOF & BOF keywords
✔ Analyze TACOS, not just ACOS
✔ Use weekly search term harvesting
✔ Bid based on CVR, not emotion
Remember:
TOF = Traffic
M*F = Intent
BOF = Revenue
