What it does
On pace, over, or under — at a glance
Every budget shows what you set, what you've spent, what's left, and the daily target for the days remaining, with a pacing label on the bar. Switch to By Tag to see the same for a whole tag of campaigns.
Boost the days that earn
Give any single date its own spend target from the calendar — a launch, a promotion, a peak day — and the rest of the budget spreads around it.
Every move, logged with its reason
The Pacing Log records each adjustment: the campaign, the action, the old and new budget, and where pacing stood at the time.
How it works in each mode
In Autopilot
Spend Shield reins each managed product's spend back toward the weekly ceiling you set. When spend runs hot it trims the daily budget — and restores it when there is room again. Every step-in is logged with the reason.
In Pilot
Set each campaign's budget monthly or weekly, and boost the dates that matter — a launch, a promotion — while every other day recalculates automatically. Days with recorded spend show it green under target or red over.
Budget Settings — Bamboo Cutting Board 3pk — Exact
Click any day to set a custom spend target. All other days recalculate automatically.
Click a date to set a boost override; click again to remove. Days with recorded spend also show that spend, green under target or red over.
It can move a daily budget to keep you on pace. It can never raise the ceiling you set — that always comes to you.
Questions
Does pacing change my budget on Amazon, or just report on it?
Both, and you choose which. With pacing on for a campaign, Pulse Pilot adjusts its daily budget on Amazon to keep it on track, and if the campaign runs far enough ahead of its budget it pauses it — switching it back on once spending falls back in line. With pacing off, the page tracks the spend and changes nothing.
Can I give a group of campaigns one budget?
Yes. Tag the campaigns and set a budget for the tag. Pulse Pilot splits it across them, giving more to the campaigns doing best on the measure you pick, and never drops one below the floor you set.
What happens to budgets on products Autopilot manages?
They're handled by Spend Shield instead. Each managed product gets a weekly envelope set on its own page, and Spend Shield holds the pace against it.
