Quick Links:



Editing a Keyword Boost

1️⃣ Go to Sponsored Products

  • Click on the Sponsored Products tab on the left-hand menu.​

2️⃣ Select the Goal

  • In the Goals tab of the table, click on your desired goal that includes the keyword boost campaign you'd like to edit.

3️⃣ Select the Keyword Boost

  • Within the dashboard of the goal, you'll see a box on the right that will contain all of your existing keyword boosts.
    Select the keyword boost you want to edit and select "Edit".


4️⃣ Update Changes

  • This will open the keyword boost window where you can edit the name, target ACoS, daily budget, and Top of Search multiplier. Once complete, click the Update button to save your changes.


🚨Note: If the KWB you launched contains BROAD or PHRASE match type keywords, the "Optimization Objective" can't be switched to "Maximize Top of Search". This objective supports only EXACT match type Keywords. Find out more about it here. .🚨



Can I Pause a Keyword Boost?

Pausing a Keyword Boost campaign is not supported.

If you try to pause the KWB campaign from the Campaigns tab within the associated goal, you might encounter the following "Failed to Pause Campaign" error.

💡Solution: Delete the Keyword Boost Campaign as explained in the next section below "Deleting a Keyword Boost". 👇



Deleting a Keyword Boost

1️⃣ Select the Keyword Boost

2️⃣ Delete the Keyword Boost

  • At step 4, however, select Delete instead.



Manage your Keywords within a Keyword Boost

To access the keyword boost window, follow steps 1 through 4 from the "Editing a Keyword Boost" instructions.

1️⃣ Removing a Keyword

  • Hover over the keyword in the left-hand panel and click the bin icon next to the keyword.


2️⃣ Adding a Keyword

  • Click on the Add Keywords icon in the window.

3️⃣ Select the Match Type

  • Next, select the match type of the keyword(s) you'd like to add and enter your desired keyword(s) in the field below. Make sure to separate each keyword by a comma or a new line if you're adding multiple.


🚨Note: We typically recommend choosing an Exact Match for Keyword Boost targets to ensure you're strategically going after those specific keywords that were chosen, as Broad and Phrase Matches will go after many different variations of that keyword. 🚨

4️⃣ Add to Goal

  • Click "Add To Goal" and you'll be redirected back to the keyword boost window.

5️⃣ Update Changes

  • To finalize and save your changes, click the update button.
