Cut bids 30%

Tripped your ACOS guardrail: hit 78% (your 50% limit) for 2 days. This guardrail is set to propose in queue, so here's the fix to approve — not an auto-revert.

Spending its full $20/day at 248% ACOS — $0.40 back per $1. Above 100% ACOS for 2 periods straight, and the KPI tracker already flags MeowLuv as critically underperforming.

Cut bids 25%
current bids−25%budget unchanged
Your #2 spender and the top driver of portfolio ACOS. TIB 23% = it burns its $250/day cap in ~6h then goes dark — winning auctions but converting poorly. Cut bids now; once ACOS is under 40%, raise the cap to chase the proven demand.

Chronic — above 100% ACOS for 2+ periods with no improvement (last period 168%). Pause; if Bacnlicious matters, test a $2–3/day auto campaign to find what converts, then rebuild.

Best ACOS in the account but only using 32% of its budget — it's bid-constrained, not budget-constrained (TIB 100%). Raise bids to win more auctions; lift the cap later once spend grows.

Make a recurring pattern a standing rule
Over the last 4 periods you've approved 9 of 10 budget increases on campaigns already under 30% ACOS — every time, unchanged. Approve this and I'll apply that pattern myself and send a recap. You're approving a rule, not a one-off task — edit it first if the scope isn't quite right.

Pauses, bid cuts, and anything above 30% ACOS still come to you. Manage standing rules anytime in History.

How it's doing

The proof half of trust: changes are watched, and the wins are measured.

Auto-fixed — Campaign 4924

You approved a budget raise ($180 → $230) on Jun 12. ACOS then climbed 28% → 44% for two days, past your guardrail — so Pat rolled it back to $180 by itself on Jun 14. Nothing required from you; this is just the heads-up (and it's logged in History).

Before / after — Dog treats

The Dog treats bid cut, two weeks on — what a tracked change (Approve & track) grows into once its window closes. The artifact you walk back to the client with.

Opportunity — lower-risk path for Rush

Premium ($25–40) is the biggest tier at 44% of revenue, and challengers like Grazly & ICON hit $150K+/mo on under 500 reviews. But the sharper edge is dog/pet jerky: those PPC bids run 2–3× higher (less ad competition) and you already own pet brand equity, FBA logistics, and an overlapping customer base. A dog beef-jerky SKU is an adjacent launch, not a category pivot.
