Introduction

Efficiently handling your Perpetua keyword Boost Campaigns can streamline the management process, enabling you to save time. This functionality permits you to initiate or modify multiple (or individual) keyword boost campaigns simultaneously, eliminating the need to manually address each goal separately.

The purpose of the following article is to guide you through the supported actions, as well as those that are not. It also provides instructions on launching new KWBs and editing existing ones.



Supported vs. Not Supported Actions

Modifying, or launching, a keyword boost in bulk using a CSV file will allow you to apply the following configurations to multiple Keyword Boost campaigns at once.

📗 Supported Actions:

  • Launch a new KWB.

  • Delete a KWB

  • Removing Targets.

  • Changing Target ACOS and Budget for KWB with Target ACOS Optimization Objective.

  • Change your Top-of-Search Multiplier (available with a Target ACOS Optimization Objective).

  • Changing Max Bid & Budget for KWB with "Maximize Top of Search" Objective.

  • Add new keywords (only supported for KWB with Target ACOS Optimization Objective).


📕Not Supported Actions:

  • Change the name of the Keyword Boost Campaign.

  • Pausing a KWB Campaign (Consider deleting it instead).

  • Change the Optimization Objective (from Target ACOS to TOS, or vice versa).

  • Apply a Min/Max bid to the KWB segment.

🚨 Note 🚨
For Keyword Boost campaigns with a Top-of-Search Optimization Objective, max bid has a separate column which will still be applicable for KWB TOS.
