class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon_PPC_Guide_What_is_Amazon_PPC\"><\/span><strong>Amazon PPC Guide: What is Amazon PPC?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that Google, one of the world&#8217;s biggest search engines, earned a whopping $279.8 billion in 2022? The largest chunk of this revenue, about $224.47 billion, was generated from advertising. That just gives you an idea of how big advertising is for some of the world&#8217;s most popular and traffic-heavy websites. (Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/266206\/googles-annual-global-revenue\/#:~:text=In%20the%20most%20recently%20reported,billion%20U.S.%20dollars%20in%202022.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Statista<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PPC (Pay-Per-Click) is an advertising solution that allows vendors and sellers to promote their listings. Simply put, sellers on the platform can create advertisements for their products. They only pay a fee when a customer clicks on their sponsored ads, thus the name pay-per-click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pay-per-click system is a much-preferred way to promote ads because impressions don&#8217;t charge you anything. As long as the target audience sees your listings, you can still build awareness. Even if they don&#8217;t click your ads, they can still see them. And because you only get charged when the audience clicks, you don&#8217;t have to spend as much money.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_An_Amazon_PPC_Strategy_Important_For_Sellers\"><\/span><strong>Why Is An Amazon PPC Strategy Important For Sellers?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As consumer behavior changes, more people are starting to shop online. Because of this, getting your product in front of people has become more difficult. Since there are more buyers, more sellers are also trying to compete for traffic on the platform. To capture more sales, exploring new strategies and techniques are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While optimizing your listings to target the right keywords is great, sometimes it is not enough. Organic traffic can only get so much. Some people don&#8217;t even click your listings even if you are already on the first page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you get to promote your products using targeted keywords that convert by using paid ads. You can use a combination of both organic and paid traffic to boost your position further. And with the help of this guide, hopefully, you&#8217;ll learn how to do it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_types_of_PPC_ads\"><\/span><strong>What are the types of PPC ads?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AMZN offers three types of ads: sponsored products, sponsored brands, and sponsored display ads. Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands ads target potential customers using keywords. On the other hand, sponsored display ads target potential customers with browsing and shopping activities. Let\u2019s take a look at each:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sponsored Products:<\/strong> This is the most widely used PPC ad on the website. Sponsored Products are ads that promote individual product listings. They appear on page one of the search results, usually at the top, within, or alongside search results. Sponsored Products also appear on product detail pages. Here\u2019s an example of sponsored ads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/NgODbPTJ-NwOFWzCACOcdTzrP6qTSRr22jQwnPVKbWVhQbevzyZs9jxWJJKFoSy2MBvJuNC3qv1lRepjNgLidhZHCOXzECNLXwkMZRZqNTItPmtxILUMybgIFFLsx1I4KuqDhzpg\" alt=\"amazon ppc \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sponsored Brands:<\/strong> Sponsored Brands are ads that promote a brand and its product portfolio. This is done by displaying multiple products (up to three), a brand logo, and a custom headline. You have to be a Professional Seller enrolled in the Brand Registry to use this ad. Sponsored Brand ads are displayed at the top of, alongside, or within search results. Here\u2019s an example of Sponsored Brand ads (Store Spotlight):<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/Mxpofk6jVEG57vew_XEa2QHu1965TvO2CtY6VgcYg2JEGaGu7rlj8IJ3YrVXnxNklLgp0CTrBr_J8D9QTZEIrTnWfDcdE0uNo2-rZdms81A0CSzLfEhi3Gz86Nwjg18SmfZz1a-4\" alt=\"amazon product ppc\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sponsored Display:<\/strong> Sponsored Display ads promote single products to shoppers on and off of Amazon based on their shopping activities. Where sponsored display ads are shown depends on the targeting options you choose. On AMZN, sponsored display ads typically appear on product detail pages and alongside or within search results. Here\u2019s an example of a sponsored display ad on AMZN:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/aY4-Phm2JJCXjyJrhXdHU3bFnXL3FoaOykcsDM4mf6d1L-gQ2mKg19fwMaO8ViA7khcamfKflkpTfuCb0Ba4mIe5OPt-B_tzmiPGq8glHI-OzYqzbs4GMViyOTbp96NRrr5zzJeb\" alt=\"amazon ppc\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_type_of_PPC_Ad_is_right_for_you\"><\/span>What type of PPC Ad is right for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With several types to choose from, it can be difficult to pinpoint which one is the right for your business. After all, different niches have different audiences, and it can be difficult to predict the behavior of each. However, what can be a good gauge for choosing the right ad for you is your RoAS (Return on Ad Spend). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain ad types, combined with certain bidding strategies, can lower ad spend for your business. Sometimes, running a combination of Sponsored Brands with a close and loose match keyword strategy work wonders. In other niches, this combination might not be too effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do you know which ad type is right for you? Simple. Create a campaign and test. By split testing, you&#8217;ll accurately know which one is right for you. Using the data provided by the ad reports, you will be able to make an informed decision. Testing and adjusting is the best Amazon PPC guide that would work in any business type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon_PPC_Guide_How_does_Amazon_PPC_Work\"><\/span><strong>Amazon PPC Guide: How does Amazon PPC Work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ads are displayed for free but on a cost-per-click basis, which means AMZ only charges you when a shopper clicks your ad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you may be wondering, \u201chow is the cost per click determined?\u201d. They determine the cost-per-click through a second-price auction. This means that sellers submit their bids, the price they want to pay per click. The highest bidder wins the auction and gets the coveted ad placement. Instead of paying the amount bid, the winning bidder pays $0.01 more than the second-highest bidder. Thus, getting your average CPC low is the key to running profitable Amazon PPC ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how the PPC auction works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A customer searches for a product on the website using a particular set of keywords<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AMZ runs an auction, selecting relevant ads that target the keywords searched for<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The highest bidder wins the auction and the winning ad is displayed on the website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A customer clicks the ad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The winning bidder pays Amazon the second-highest bid plus $0.01.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Set_Up_Your_PPC_Ad_Campaign\"><\/span><strong>How to Set Up Your PPC Ad Campaign<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we delve into the process of creating a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/ppc-autopilot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PPC ad campaign<\/a>, you should know the different campaign types. If you want to run ads, you can either create an automatic campaign or a manual campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For automated campaigns, automatically matches your ads to relevant or related search terms\/keywords based on the information in your product listing. While for manual campaigns, you provide the search terms\/keywords for your product ad. Your ad will only be displayed if the customer\u2019s search term matches your selected keywords.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to run a manual ad campaign, you will need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/keywords\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">keyword research tool<\/a> to find the right target keywords.

Without a history of sales and a loyal customer following, it is really hard to get continuous organic traffic into your product listings. And without traffic, you won\u2019t be able to make some sales to cover the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/amazon-fba-fee-calculator-estimate-costs-revenue-profit\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7468\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost<\/a><\/strong> of selling on Amazon. But are PPC ads worth a try?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the advertising cost might be intimidating and discouraging, especially if you are just starting. But, below are some of the reasons why you should at least try running a PPC campaign as a third-party seller on the platform:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_allows_you_to_increase_your_visibility_and_exposure\"><\/span>It allows you to increase your visibility and exposure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are just starting as a seller, you don\u2019t have a list of repeat customers and loyal buyers that you can market to yet. And since you don\u2019t have lots of reviews too, it can be hard to get featured in organic listings. The best and fastest way for you to get traffic in such as scenario is to run a sponsored pay-per-click ad listing. With more visibility in high-traffic placement locations, you can reach more customers even as a starting seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_allows_you_to_control_where_your_traffic_is_coming_from\"><\/span>It allows you to control where your traffic is coming from<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By running pay-per-click ad campaigns, you can specifically show your ads only to people typing specific keyword queries. Thus, you can control what kind of audience you want to target and avoid those who are only looking for freebies by using negative keywords.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_allows_you_to_reach_audiences_outside_Amazon\"><\/span>It allows you to reach audiences outside Amazon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best features of AMZ\u2019s pay-per-click platform is its ability to remarket and retarget those people who are outside the platform too. By remarketing to those people who are on external websites, you can ensure that your message will reach your intended audience even when they are not shopping on AMZ.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PPC_lets_you_save_money\"><\/span>PPC lets you save money<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike pay-per-impression platforms, AMZN only charges you when a click is made by a shopper on your ad listings. Because of this, you can freely expose your brand or your product to shoppers without needing to pay a single cent. Through impressions, you can slowly make your intended audience familiar with your product offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, is Amazon PPC worth it? Yes, it is. But you also don&#8217;t want to jump right into it and lose money. So, the wise thing to do is to use software to run and manage your Amazon PPC campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manage_Your_Amazon_PPC_Campaigns_With_ZonPPC\"><\/span><strong>Manage Your Amazon PPC Campaigns With ZonPPC<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing you should not do is set up your campaigns and leave them unattended. If you want to get the most out of your ad spend, you&#8217;ll have to learn how to manage your campaigns effectively. Amazon PPC management is, however, not a walk in the park, so it&#8217;s best to automate this process using Amazon PPC tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend using ZonPPC, a PPC management tool in the Zonbase software suite.

This tool then discovers keywords that can win cheap auctions, scales the best-performing search terms, and marks non-performing keywords negative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want a fully automated campaign, you can set up the campaigns yourself based on your goals. Then ZonPPC&#8217;s automation algorithm will manage them for you, and you can also adjust them as you wish.

On one side, there are PPC purists who think running pay-per-click advertisements is the best way to make measurable data regarding traffic. These people believe that following the Amazon PPC best practices is the only way to increase income and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, some swear on the power of organic ranking when it comes to improving sales or conversion rates. To know which one is the best for you and your business, let us discuss the differences between the two below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organic_Ranking\"><\/span>Organic Ranking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Organic ranking refers to the position that your products rank at when you search for a certain keyword on Amazon. Whenever you search for a certain keyword, Amazon displays a list of products in a certain order from top to bottom. This order is essential because the ones on the first page are usually the ones that get clicks. This means that they often get a better conversion rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a high organic ranking, you need to perform certain things. Most of it revolves around keyword optimization and making sure that you follow SEO (search engine optimization) concepts. By stuffing your product listing with keywords targeting the terms people use to find products in your niche, you can start ranking high on AMZ\u2019s search engine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important for you to include bucket keywords or keywords that are a broad match in your listings. You can also use keyword match types or semantic keywords, which are keywords that are synonymous with your main targeted keyword for your niche. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more keyword match types you use in your listing, the higher your optimization rank goes. Of course, all of these are purely speculative since Amazon doesn\u2019t give away their pointers for organic rankings. Since people can easily game the system and work the algorithm if these pointers are given away, Amazon keeps them secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/xE_oqMEHcFI04181h3eqvA8Gk1iVX_0soRGMzcuYLw94BeCc5AkTWYbm9JMFhkaJBOPZQTPqUeYTbIRmvQwFYf0I_3VsX0x4dCnBg8A-KCSAUk5C81Yv5qH5Afq3pQwLCn6xCA_Z\" alt=\"amazon highly rated products\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best advantages that organic ranking has over PPC advertising campaigns is it\u2019s free. You don\u2019t have to pay anything to rank high in the organic search rankings of AMZ. You just have to optimize your content in such as way that AMZ thinks it is the most appropriate product to promote for a given keyword. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, since maintaining search engine rankings cannot be controlled and measured, it\u2019s really hard to find what contributes to your rankings. Since AMZ doesn\u2019t tell publicly what constitutes high organic ranking scores, it\u2019s all guesswork when it comes to organic ranking optimization. You don\u2019t have finite criteria that you can control, adjust, and maintain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help in optimizing your listings, Zonbase is a software tool that can help you get this task accomplished. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/zonbase-learning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zonbase\u2019s Listify tool<\/a>, you can find and include the most important keywords to start optimizing your product listing. These keywords are pulled by Zonbase from your competitors\u2019 most profitable products, which means they are already doing well. All you have to do is simulate their success by using the right keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/amazon-fba-coaching-sellers-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9403\">Related: <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/amazon-fba-coaching-sellers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9403\">Amazon FBA Coaching: A Seller\u2019s Guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pay-Per-Click\"><\/span>Pay-Per-Click<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike organic ranking, you have some semblance of control whenever you use the pay-per-click marketing feature. First of all, you can control the keywords that you want to target before your products would show up in the results. This means that you have all the control and decision regarding what keywords to target and what products to show for each keyword targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, unlike organic ranking, you need to pay to use this service feature. And the costs of pay-per-click marketing can be high depending on the niche that you are in and the keywords you are targeting. If you are competing for highly-sought keywords in a very competitive niche, your cost per bid can shoot up high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zonbase offers a service called P.P.C. Autopilot that you can use if you aren\u2019t familiar with running paid advertisements. By employing the help of its experts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/zonbase-learning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zonbase P.P.C.

Maintaining an effective strategy is integral to your campaign to ensure that you don&#8217;t waste money. To help you out, here are some basic strategies you can use in building a solid PPC management strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increase_Conversion_Rates_By_Adding_Negative_Keywords\"><\/span>Increase Conversion Rates By Adding Negative Keywords<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to increase your conversion rates is by adding negative keywords to your campaigns. Negative keywords are filters that you can use to avoid showing your content to people who use these specific keyword triggers. For example, adding the negative keyword &#8220;free&#8221; on your PPC keyword list will ensure that your ads won&#8217;t show to people who use the keyword &#8220;free&#8221; on the Amazon search bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By filtering people who are just looking for free products, you can slowly but surely improve your conversion rates. You can also lower your advertising costs significantly by removing people using your negative keyword list on their search terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_The_Right_Keyword_Match_Types\"><\/span>Use The Right Keyword Match Types<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keyword match types make it easy for you to target a specific type of audience and improve your conversion rates. There are three main types of keyword match types on AMZ: Phrase, Broad and Exact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In broad type, your ads will be triggered if a customer searches using your keyword in any order. For example, if your keyword is &#8220;ball,&#8221; then your ads will be shown to customers who use &#8220;red ball&#8221;, &#8220;ball for dogs&#8221;, &#8220;round ball for kids&#8221;, and any other instance where &#8220;ball&#8221; appears. They are usually the most general type of matching, and they are often used only for gathering data. They don&#8217;t convert as well because they are too general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In phrase match type, the ads will be displayed if the keywords appear in the same order. For example, if your keyword is &#8220;red ball&#8221;, then your ads will be displayed if a shopper used the keywords &#8220;red ball for kids&#8221; or &#8220;kiddie red ball&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For exact match type, your keyword will only appear if the buyer searches for the exact keyword in the same order, with no other words, phrases, or suffixes. If your keyword is &#8220;blue ribboned ball&#8221;, your ads will only be shown if the customer types &#8220;blue ribboned ball&#8221;. This gives the highest conversion rates, but the traffic might not be too big since it is also an exact match type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing what keyword match type to use in your PPC campaigns will help lower your advertising costs and improve your conversion rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Amazon PPC Step by Step Tutorial for Beginners EASY Strategy Working in 2022 FINAL\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_9yJ2GHdP1c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Test_Consistently\"><\/span><strong>Test Consistently<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This Amazon PPC guide will not be complete without reminding you about testing. Consistently test out each type of ad campaign that you are running. Don&#8217;t rest on your laurels because you made a couple of sales. Continue to play and test around with manual and automatic keyword targeting. Split testing will let you see what\u2019s working best for your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Zonbase_For_Keyword_Research\"><\/span><strong>Use Zonbase For Keyword Research<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perform a detailed keyword inventory and research using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/best-amazon-keyword-research-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11599\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keyword Tool<\/a> of Zonbase. Try focusing on related keywords that competitors use on their products. If they are using these keywords to optimize their listings, it means these keywords are bringing in traffic. Reverse-engineering these keywords mean that you&#8217;ll be banking on their traffic too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_Daily_Budgets\"><\/span><strong>Set Daily Budgets<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are just starting, make sure to set daily budgets as well as default bids. Try to bid around 50 to 100% higher than the AMZ recommendation to ensure that you&#8217;ll win the bids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Let_Campaigns_Run_For_A_Week_Before_Making_Changes\"><\/span><strong>Let Campaigns Run For A Week Before Making Changes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start running your reports and making major adjustments, let your campaign run for at least one week. Letting your campaign run for only a few days and then doing major changes is not recommended. Why? Because it will not give you accurate data, you need to make an informed decision in such a short time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Automatic_Campaign_Reports_To_Find_Keywords\"><\/span><strong>Use Automatic Campaign Reports To Find Keywords<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, it is better to let AMZ do the job for you. After all, they often know what they are doing (well, most of the time). Automated campaigns generate ad reports when you run them. So if you start to run out of keyword ideas, use these generated ad reports. Check the report and find the keywords it used, then repurpose them for your next manual campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Let_Keywords_Get_Clicks_Before_Adjusting\"><\/span><strong>Let Keywords Get Clicks Before Adjusting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you even start removing, changing, or adjusting a keyword from your manual campaign, check its number of clicks. To give it accurate data, try to let the keyword get at least 10 to 15 clicks before adjusting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adjust_and_review_consistently\"><\/span><strong>Adjust and review consistently<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not rest on your laurels. Always keep a constant check on your campaigns and see how you can improve them. A consistent review of your ad reports should be done at least once a week. Using the ad reports, you can modify and adjust the keywords you are bidding on as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon_PPC_Metrics\"><\/span>Amazon PPC Metrics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to maximize your ad spend, you have to do more than creating an effective PPC strategy and setting up your ad campaigns. You&#8217;ll have to monitor your PPC metrics and reports, then come up with new ways to improve your ad campaigns. Here are a few PPC metrics you should know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Attributed Sales<\/strong>: This is the total amount of sales you have made within one week of clicks on your ads. the total amount of merchandise sold following a week of ad clicks. Your sales data may not be always accessible in the &#8220;Today&#8221; date range, but you will be able to view it in the &#8220;Yesterday&#8221; date range because it takes about 48 hours for your sales data to be updated. Go to the campaign performance reports tab to view your individual sales data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clicks<\/strong>: This metric shows the number of times your ads were clicked. Usually, it takes about a few days for your click reports to be updated, because it takes about 3 days to remove invalid clicks from your reports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Impressions<\/strong>: This is the number of times your ads were shown. Of course, you only get the real value of your impressions after 3 days when the invalid clicks have been removed. So, clicks from the last 3 days may need to be modified as a result of click invalidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advertising Cost of Sales (ACOS)<\/strong>: This is the percentage of your sales that came from your ads. To determine this, divide total ad spend by attributed sales. For instance, your ACoS would be 20% if you spent $100 on advertising and $500 in attributed sales as a result ($100 \/ $500 = 0.20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For sellers, Amazon PPC is the best way to increase your visibility, build brand awareness and boost sales.
