FAQ

The practical questions buyers ask before handing over Amazon Ads.

This page exists for the questions that are too important to hide inside the homepage. Safety, migration, small-account fit, trials, and how ARCTAVIA differs from dashboard-only tools all live here.

Getting started

What you need before the trial actually begins.

What does the free AI search audit tell me?
It records how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Amazon's AI actually present your product and saves the result as a diagnosis. No signup needed, and the weak spots feed straight into the listing improvement flow.
When does the free trial start?
The 30-day trial starts when you connect Amazon Ads, not when you first visit the site or create a login.
How long does setup usually take?
For most accounts the initial connection is minutes, not days. The deeper work is deciding which goal to protect first and which campaign to start with.

Automation, safety, and control

The difference between useful autonomy and reckless changes.

What does the listing improvement actually do?
It turns the observed weak spots into an improvement brief for your title, images, and A+ content, then re-observes after changes so you can verify the lift.
What changes are automated vs approved?
Arctavia prepares routine reviews, recommendations, and change drafts continuously. Material changes stay in the approval path before release.
Is my data secure?
Amazon API credentials are encrypted, operations are logged, and changes are handled through controlled API-based workflows.
Is Amazon Ads automation actually safe for real accounts?
It is safe only if the product treats safety as a first-class system. ARCTAVIA runs guardrails, approval boundaries, logging, and post-action verification inside the same loop, instead of treating them as an afterthought.
What is the difference between bid automation and full ad ops automation?
Bid automation changes one lever. Full ad ops automation coordinates bidding, keyword curation, budget movement, approvals, and verification as one operating loop. That is the bigger difference in practice.

Pricing and team fit

Who the product fits, and how the commercial model works.

Do I need to connect my whole Amazon Ads account?
No. You can start with one campaign, review the changes Arctavia drafts, and expand only after the workflow makes sense for your account.
Can Arctavia change budgets or bids without limits?
No. Budget caps, bid caps, approval gates, and anomaly checks keep the system inside defined boundaries.
How long until I see useful signal?
Use the trial to review proposed changes, waste reduction opportunities, and early KPI movement. Arctavia does not promise a fixed result.
Why does flat pricing matter so much?
Because software that becomes more expensive every time ad spend grows can quietly tax success. Flat pricing keeps the economics easier to understand and defend.

Proof, migration, and evaluation

How to compare, what proof exists, and how to evaluate a switch.

Can I use only the audit, or only the ads engine?
Yes. The free audit, the listing layer (Insight), and the ads layer (Autopilot) each work on their own. Use one, or connect them into the full flow.
Do I need a credit card?
No. You can begin the trial without a credit card.
What proof should I look at first?
Start with the Iris Japan case study because it is the easiest public example to review. If you need more context, the UK reference pack is available separately.
How should I compare ARCTAVIA to Pacvue or Perpetua?
Compare the daily operating loop, not only the dashboard. Ask what the workflow prepares every day, how much remains inspectable, and how pricing changes when the account gets bigger.
