Step 2: Strategy-Specific Recommendations

The analyzer provides tailored recommendations based on your selected strategy:

For Launch Strategy:

Suggested bid levels for ranking keywords
Budget allocation recommendations
Top-of-search placement modifiers
Keyword expansion opportunities

For Lower ACoS Strategy:

Waste identification (keywords to pause)
Negative keyword suggestions
Bid reduction recommendations
Match type optimization

For Growth Strategy:

Scaling opportunities by campaign
New keyword recommendations
Competitor targeting suggestions
Ad type expansion ideas

Step 3: Progress Tracking

Monitor your strategy implementation over time:

Strategy Timeline: Track progress toward your goals
Milestone Tracking: Know when you're ready to transition strategies
Performance Alerts: Get notified when metrics drift off-target
Comparison Reports: Before/after analysis of strategy changes

Example Progress Report:

Strategy: Lower ACoS
Start Date: Jan 15 | Current: Jan 29
Starting ACoS: 45% → Current ACoS: 28%
Progress: 68% toward target (20%)
Next Actions: Continue bid optimization, add 15 suggested negatives

Step 4: Seasonal Planning Tools

Prepare for peak seasons with:

Historical Analysis: See how your campaigns performed last year
Budget Calculator: Determine optimal seasonal budget increases
Timeline Planner: Set reminders for when to ramp up/down
Competitor Intel: See how market competition changes seasonally
