## Resource

Episode 61 of Performance Marketing with Fexingo uncovers a frequently overlooked lever in Amazon PPC: search term capping limits. Lucas walks through a real case from a mid-six-figure supplement brand where unconstrained spend on a few high-volume terms led to a 40% ROAS drop. He explains how Amazon's default 'no cap' structure lets top-of-funnel terms drain budget from profitable long-tail queries. Luna challenges whether capping might kill scale, and Lucas shows exactly how to set term-level spend limits using portfolio bid adjustments and campaign-level caps. Practical takeaway: a simple spreadsheet formula to flag terms hitting diminishing returns. No fluff, just a specific tactic that can recover 15-20% of wasted ad spend. #AmazonPPC #SearchTermCapping #ROAS #PaidAds #PerformanceMarketing #PPCMistakes #AdSpendOptimization #EcommerceAds #DigitalMarketing #PPCStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Marketing #LucasAndLuna #SupplementBrand #LongTailKeywords #BidManagement #AdFatigue Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
