The video details a strategy to achieve 10x ROAS on Mercado Ads in just 7 days. It explains how to use Claude AI to analyze costs, set competitive pricing, and restructure ad campaigns into three types: winners, volume, and discovery. A key insight is that reducing ad budget by 80% only resulted in an 11% sales drop, allowing for much higher profitability.
A short editorial from the VEONIB team on why this content matters.
This video proves that using AI to dissect cost data and restructure Mercado Ads campaigns can dramatically boost ROAS while slashing spend. The key is moving from chaotic, one-size-fits-all campaigns to a segmented strategy based on product profitability.
The distinctive angle is the practical use of Claude AI to automate cost analysis and the counterintuitive finding that cutting budget by 80% barely affected sales. SEONIB adds that such data-driven AI integration is exactly how modern ecommerce should optimize ad spend.
Mercado Libre sellers should immediately implement a three-campaign structure and use AI tools like Claude to identify their most profitable products and right-size their ad budgets.
Return on ad spend, measuring revenue generated per dollar spent on ads.
The advertising platform within Mercado Libre for sponsored product listings.

What is the first step to improve ROAS on Mercado Ads?
Ensure you have accurate cost and profitability data for each product before launching any ads.
How does AI like Claude help with Mercado Ads?
Claude can process cost data, cross-reference it with sales, and identify the most profitable products to prioritize in campaigns.
Why does Mercado Libre's automatic budget distribution cause problems?
It often allocates more spend to products with high competition or poor margins, wasting budget on loss-making items.
What are the three campaign types recommended?
Winners (high ROAS), Volume (high sales volume with acceptable ROAS), and Discovery (testing new products).
How much can you reduce ad budget without losing sales?
In the example, reducing budget by 80% only lowered sales by 11%, meaning significant overspend was eliminated.
How should you group products in ad campaigns?
Group products with similar ROAS values so that budget is distributed efficiently by the platform.
What is a good ROAS target for Mercado Ads?
It depends on your break-even ROAS; target products that deliver at least 2-3x your break-even, and adjust based on competition.
How to avoid running ads on loss-making products?
Use profitability analysis to exclude products with negative margins, and regularly audit campaign performance.
What should you do with product recommendations from Mercado Libre?
Consider them but test before accepting; sometimes a small budget increase yields meaningful extra sales.
How long should you test before making ad changes?
Use at least 7-15 days of data to make informed decisions, avoiding one-day fluctuations.
