Amazon Product Page Optimization in a Rufus AI World

The PPC Den: Amazon PPC Advertising Mastery

In this episode, we chat with Emma Schermer Tamir of Marketing by Emma about how AI is flipping the Amazon customer journey upside down. She shares how she’s using tools like ChatGPT to beat writer’s block, dig into reviews, and fine-tune copy—but also why human creativity still steals the show.

We get into why solid branding and killer visuals matter more than ever, how great A+ content can boost trust (and sales), and what makes a product page actually stand out in the age of average AI-generated everything.

It's a real talk on where ecomm is headed—and how to stay ahead.

We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
