What it does
Five jobs Marko handles before the issue becomes another manual cleanup loop.
Claim-based, operator-first, and tied to the exact handoff the team would otherwise have to manage by hand.
Pulls the freshest ppc data tied to Brand Defense Monitor so the workflow starts from the live account state, not a stale report.
Marko joins that signal against the surrounding business context, including guardrails, thresholds, and the ASIN or campaign data that makes the decision usable.
Scores the issue or opportunity in operator language so the team can see what changed, why it matters, and what deserves attention first.
Builds the exact next step for brand defense monitor, with the reasoning attached and the proposed action kept inside your chosen mode.
The final move waits for approval so the operator can review the reasoning before anything executes. The result lands in the same Mission Control audit trail as the rest of Ultra.
Why operators use this
“
You already know what you should be doing. You just do not have time to do it daily.
Pull yesterday's search term report. Filter it by ACoS. Cross-reference against your COGS sheet. Check pacing. Decide which terms deserve a bid cut, which campaigns need a budget pullback, and which winners are still underbid.
In practice, nobody does that with the right cadence. It happens on Sunday night, during a monthly agency recap, or after the spend already drifted for a week.
Meanwhile, the same leaking keyword keeps spending again tomorrow. The problem is not knowing what to do. The problem is running the loop fast enough to matter.
Average seller running $15K/mo in Amazon ads loses $600-900/mo to keywords that should have been throttled yesterday.
How it runs
A real operating loop, not a vague promise.
Exact steps, accountable owners, and the human checkpoints kept in the sequence where trust actually matters.
The trigger condition fires
AGENTUltra detects the 7-day keyword performance change that should not wait for a manual review.

What you get
This is the actual output. Not a screenshot from a slide deck.
The Mission Control-style review queue, with the reasoning and next-step controls attached to every line.
Brand Defense Monitor · Mission Control Preview
SHOWING 5 EXAMPLE ROWS · PPC OUTPUT READY FOR REVIEW
Your guardrails
Change any default. Any threshold. Any rule.
The defaults are grounded in real operator workflows, but every one of them is meant to be editable.
MAX CHANGE PER CYCLE
20%
DEFAULT · EDITABLE
Limits how hard the workflow can move spend, bids, or targeting in one pass.
TARGET EFFICIENCY
Your threshold
DEFAULT · SET PER CAMPAIGN
Tie the workflow to the ACoS, TACoS, or margin target that matters for this part of the account.
BUDGET CIRCUIT BREAKER
Enabled
DEFAULT · TOGGLEABLE
If spend moves outside the safe band, the workflow pauses aggressive action and surfaces the context first.
NO-FLY ZONES
Empty
EMPTY BY DEFAULT
Keep launches, hero ASINs, or sensitive campaigns out of scope until the team is ready.
Before you turn it on
What Marko needs to run properly.
Amazon Ads API connected
Required for live campaign, keyword, and search-term access.
Business thresholds configured
Set the target efficiency or loss threshold the workflow should protect.
Recent ad history available
The workflow needs enough history to separate pattern from noise.
Slack or email routing
Optional, but useful for summaries and approval checkpoints.
Inventory context from Bruno
Optional if you want PPC decisions to reflect stock risk automatically.
Protected ASIN list
Optional if there are campaigns the workflow should leave untouched.
Used together
Sellers who turn this on also run.
Related automations keep people browsing the library instead of bouncing after one page.
ACoS Spike Containment
When ACoS jumps above threshold, Marko contains the damage and queues the account for review.
Audience Bid Adjuster Report
Turn audience performance into a ready-to-review bidding playbook every week instead of another analyst task.
Daily Bid Tuning
Rebalance every bid overnight against real margins so wasted spend stops compounding before the team logs in.
Before you ask
Three questions we hear on every setup call.
Not by default. Brand Defense Monitor starts in approval mode so the team reviews the move before anything executes.
Guardrails, explicit thresholds, and a full audit trail. The workflow shows the reasoning, stays inside the protection limits you set, and gives the team a reversible history instead of a black-box action.
Yes. Thresholds, exclusions, routing, and sensitivity can be set at the account level and, where relevant, narrowed to specific campaigns, ASINs, or watchlists.
Stop letting ppc cleanup wait until the problem is already expensive.
Turn on Brand Defense Monitor. Ultra handles the first governed cycle, shows the reasoning, and keeps the next move visible before the team loses another day to manual follow-up.
