1 Trillion Dollars

What’s in it for you?

Amazon. The newest trillion-dollar company.

Millions of shoppers searching for stuff like yours… every second. Sellers that appear on page 1 get very rich, very quickly.

The secret?

You can appear on page 1 instantly using Amazon PPC (pay per click), pitching your product to millions overnight. It’s like nationwide shelfspace at Walmart.

Even better?

Great Thing #1: You ONLY pay when a shopper clicks your product (not just views it). Plus…

Great Thing #2: You ONLY appear when shoppers search words you choose.

Example:

You sell desktop japanese zen gardens.

How many would you sell if you appeared on page 1 every time someone types “japanese zen garden”? Lots. Lots of zen gardens.

You’d be…

…raking it in.

The Fastest Ever

That’s the magic of Amazon Advertising.

2 billion in revenue in 3 months and now Amazon’s #1 fastest-growing service.

How Amazon Ads Work

Basics now; details to follow. Ads make you money in 3 steps:

List → Appear → Get the Sale

Example:

You sell a vinyl record cleaning kit (ASIN B01MS1GLAT).

It’s in stock; good product, good listing. But sales have been low since launch. So…

List → Appear → Get the Sale

You tell Amazon you want to show up in a highly-visible sponsored spot if a shopper types in “vinyl record cleaning kit”, and other hyper-targeted keywords.

Amazon puts you up there.

You pay per click (PPC) when your listing appears and is clicked. You only pay when a shopper clicks your listing to see more. A real chance to sell.

The cost per click (CPC) for 1 click ranges from pennies to a few dollars depending on how many other sellers also want to appear for the keyword.

Who appears first is determined by bid price, relevance, sales history, sugar, spice, and everything nice (i.e. an Amazon algorithm).

List → Appear → Get the Sale

The shopper searches the keyword you chose, you appear up top, they click your ad and go to your listing. They buy.

And just like that, a $1.00 click = a $20.00 sale.

In Amazon terms, this makes the Advertising Cost of Sale (ACoS) $1 spent and $20.00 back, or 5%. ACoS = spend divided by sales; a “snapshot” metric of ad profitability.

Sound too good to be true? That’s because it is.

Amazon PPC is simple but not easy. If it were easy, every seller would be on a beach somewhere.

But they’re not. They’re working 9-5 in Nebraska. Sorry, Nebraska, it’s not me, it’s the list.

Amazon PPC is comprised of countless details separating success from failure.

Our experts at AsteroidX have distilled everything into 6 simple steps. Follow and learn how to transform $1 into $3. Forever. This can change your life. A journey of a million dollars begins with a single step…

Step 1 of 6: LISTING OPTIMIZATION

You buy a Sponsored Products ad placement.

Here’s what your ad looks like on Desktop (left) and on Mobile (right):

On Amazon, your ad is your listing; they’re one in the same. Better listing = more ad revenue.

And so, listing optimization is Step 1 of Amazon PPC. As they say in Kentucky: “Buying traffic for a bad listing is like pouring water into a leaky bucket.”

Already optimized? Skip to Step 2 of 6. If not or want 100% assurance, optimize these 10 things to get “ad-ready”.

Consider: the 1st thing to do is get the ad clicked. The 2nd is get the sale. #1 Click → #2 Sale

#1 Click → #2 Sale

Welcome to “Who Wants to be a Main Photo?”

1. Main Photo

So clear, colorful, and alluring that you must click it.

Good: centered, well-lit, defined edges, and reflects exactly what the customer gets.

Bad: off-center, ambiguous “infinity” edges, unclear what’s included.

On a technical level: pure white background. No unnecessary props or badges. A 2000px by 2000px square image (so it can zoom once clicked). Cropped tight so 85%+ of the image is filled with product. Save as JPEG.

Bad (again): small image, grey background, product small in comparison to overall frame.

Oh, and hire a professional photographer. It pays for itself via additional clicks and conversions. Example: just 1 additional transaction yielding $20 in profit per week = $960.00 after 12 months.

Get multiple main photos at various angles to split test which has the highest Clickthrough Rate (CTR) – i.e. clicks divided by impressions.

2. Title

When someone sees your title, they should think: “that’s exactly what I’m looking for!”

To make sure this happens, start your title with the “main keyword”, defined as the keyword with the highest traffic and the highest-relevance to your particular product– what the average person on the street would call it. Discover this via Google Keyword Planner Tool and MerchantWords.

Put your main keyword early in the title because title space is tight (150 bytes on desktop, 75 on mobile).

Use this title format:

[BRAND NAME] + [MAIN KEYWORD] + [SECONDARY KEYWORDS]

Example of this title formula in the wild:

3. Price

Price so that you’re the best value for money. Price is what you pay, value is what you get.

Customers follow the unspoken rule “expensive = good”, so price equal to or more than similar offers. Rule of thumb: $25+ allows enough margin for ad spend.

Don’t price under $10, or you might be sent to the “Add-on Item” shadow realm where shoppers need to spend a total of $25 to even buy your thing.

4. Fulfill by Amazon (FBA)

By sending inventory to an Amazon warehouse and letting them handle shipping, you get an Amazon Prime badge, alleviating concerns over shipping fees and wait times. Clicks and sales go up.

5. Keyword Density

More keywords = more shoppers are able to find you.

If your listing was a tourist attraction, every new keyword is a new road into town.

If your listing has the keyword “collagen” in it, shoppers searching “collagen” can find you and buy from you. Road’s open.

If you don’t have the “collagen” in your listing text (even if the product physically does), Amazon won’t be able to tell, you’ll never show up in those 571,600 monthly customer searches, and the road is closed. Sad.

Find keywords using the Google Keyword Planner Tool, MerchantWords, and Amazon search bar suggestions, which will surface new ideas. Keywords appear in order of search volume.

#1 Click → #2 Sale

6. Other Photos

Use the remaining 6 photo slots to show your product in use by real people. Show faces. This increases conversions because humans project themselves into images of others.

Good: product-only.

Better: product and person.

Best: product, people, positive lifestyle association.

Again…

Good: product.

Better: product and person.

Best: product, people, positive lifestyle association.

Also:

Photos show your product in context (size, color, use case, etc.) which sets expectations and avoids negative reviews.

7. Use Full Character Limits

It’s different for every category, but typically it’s:

150 title

250 per bullet point

2000 description, and

250 total backend search terms.

Don’t exceed limits or else Amazon may de-index you.

8. Persuasive Text

Start each bullet with 1-3 ALL CAPS words to illustrate the point. Because people read… but not really.

Touch on core human needs, of which there are 8:

Survival, enjoyment of life, life extension

Enjoyment of food and beverages

Freedom from fear, pain, and danger

Sexual companionship

Comfortable living conditions

To be superior, winning, keeping up with the Joneses

Care and protection of loved ones

Social approval

1 sentence can shift the shopper’s perspective and convince them to buy. So, give it some effort.

9. Enhanced Brand Content (optional)

Register your brand via Amazon Brand Registry to enable the use of text and photos in your description, not just text. If you’re new, this can wait.

Here’s a default text description:

Here’s an EBC description:

10. Be in the Right Category

An AsteroidX customer was miscategorized by Amazon and it cost them $1000s a month. We caught it, they contacted Amazon Seller Support, and it was changed from Amazon’s end.

How to spot it? Look at similar products.

Example: vinyl record cleaning kits.

If you’re in “Media Storage & Organization”…

…and similar products are in different categories…

…and your sales are suffering, you may be miscategorized. If so, contact Seller Support to request a manual category change.

PS:

A rant about reviews. There’s an “idea virus” that says you need 10 reviews to run Amazon ads. False.

Consider:

Will your conversion rate be higher with 1 (positive) review vs. 0? Yes. But…

Will your conversion rate with 0 reviews be 0%? Probably not. Not with good text and photos.

Besides, ads are a good way to get review #1: run ads, get a sale, follow up via Amazon Buyer-Seller Messaging Service, convert the purchase into review #1.

Now that your listing (i.e. ad) is ready, make sure you don’t lose money. It’s not what you think.

Step 2 of 6: ACOS TARGETS

Consider:

Most sellers use a “spray and pray” approach, losing money without even knowing it. But not you! Here’s the secret to doing it right.

Your True Costs

Example:

You sell ASIN B06X9H35QN. Nice bundling.

Collect these 4 pieces of info (Amazon definitions below):

(1) ASIN =

(2) Retail Price =

(3) Cost per Unit to Ship to Amazon FBA =

(4) Cost Per Unit from Supplier =

(2)

(3)

(4)

A few moments later…

(1) ASIN = B06X9H35QN

(2) Retail Price = $32.70

(3) Cost per Unit to Ship to Amazon FBA = $1.25 (standard average; from your supplier)

(4) Cost Per Unit from Supplier = $10.00 (standard average; from your supplier; aim to 3x your money)

Pop these 4 figures into the Oscar-nominated Fulfillment by Amazon Revenue Calculator.

Link: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/hz/fba/profitabilitycalculator/index?lang=en_US (feel free to follow along as we do this).

Enter your ASIN and hit “Search”.

Then, enter the other 3 figures (#2 is at your discretion; #3/4 were negotiated with your supplier):

(2) Retail Price = $32.70

(3) Cost per Unit to Ship to Amazon FBA = $1.25

(4) Cost Per Unit from Supplier = $10.00

Hit “Calculate”.

And boom: Amazon forecasts its referral and FBA fees for this ASIN, and now you have all your costs.

For the 1st time, here are your unit economics in 1 place:

+ $32.70 in revenue

– $2.62 Amazon referral fee

– $3.25 Fulfillment by Amazon fee

– $1.25 to ship to Amazon

– $10.00 Cost of Goods Sold

– $2.50 buffer (overhead, apps, etc.) – added for realism; this isn’t in the calculator

= $13.08 Net Profit

You pocket $13.08 of each $32.70 sale. The light blue chunk is your profit.

$13.08/$32.70 = 40% Net Margin (i.e. for every $1.00 earned, you pocket $0.40).

Aim to keep $0.40+ on the dollar (40%+ net margins). Why?

The more profit per sale, the more you can spend to acquire a customer through ads, the more sales, the higher your Amazon ranking, the more sales, etc. It’s a loop.

Break-Even ACoS

At what point is a sale neither a profit nor a loss (break-even)? In our example above, it’s 40%.

i.e. we can spend up to $13.08 on Amazon PPC clicks to get 1 sale of $32.70 in revenue (40% margin). We don’t make money; we don’t lose money, either.

This point is our “break-even ACoS”.

Therefore, you know each sale is profitable as long as ACoS is below 40%.

Zooming in on our profit…

Think of this blue 40% chunk as our ammo; the fuel to run Amazon ads that reliably get customers every single day, increase ranking, and get reviews.

Ideal ACoS

“Isn’t the ideal ACoS 1%? Like… as low as possible?” you ask.

Not always. Some sellers want a higher ACoS.

It’s 2 different strategies:

Aggressivo sellers want an ACoS of break-even or above (50%+) to get ranking and reviews. Increased ranking = more organic sales, which pay for the PPC spend later. Delay profit to grow the company. Used to launch new products and break into competitive markets.

This brings you a larger total number of sales, but sometimes the cost of getting each sale is more expensive because not only are you bidding for longtail keywords (“japanese zen garden” for selling japanese zen gardens), but also broader, general keywords like “meditation” or “office decor”. These general terms still get sales, but fewer people in 10 will buy because it’s less specific.

Prudente sellers want a lower ACoS (35% or less) to get profitable sales from Day 1. Profitable unit economics over high sales volume; slow and steady. Used if the current ACoS is too high (100%+), or if the company is on a budget.

This brings you a smaller total number of sales, with each sale having a higher profit margin because you’re bidding for keywords you know will work (“japanese zen garden” for selling japanese zen gardens), bidding lower, and intentionally leaving out or limiting broader keywords like “meditation” or “office decor”, which can bring more sales but at a higher ACoS.

Back to your 40% profit.

Now that you know your number, you can play with it to reach your goals.

On one side of the spectrum:

A1: Very Aggressivo: $15.00 spent to get a sale, -$1.92 in profit. $32.70 in revenue and $15.00 in ad spend = 46% ACoS. You lost a couple bucks, maximizing for sales, ranking, and reviews.

A2: Aggressivo: $12.95 spent to get a sale, $0.15 in net profit. $32.70 in revenue and $12.95 in ad spend = 40% ACoS. You broke even, increasing your sales, ranking, and reviews.

P2: Prudente: $6.54 spent to get a sale, $6.54 in net profit. $32.70 in revenue and $6.54 in ad spend = 20% ACoS. You pocketed $6.54. Cash now, and perhaps a lower overall number of sales.

P1: Very Prudente: $1.30 to get the sale, $11.78 in profit. $32.70 in revenue and $1.30 spent to get a sale = 4% ACoS. You pocketed $11.78. Lots of cash now, and a lower overall number of sales.

The story of a new ASIN is usually like this…

Start Aggressivo, get the sales required to rank on page 1 organically, see organic sales, lift foot off the gas, prune ad spend, enjoy long-term profitability.

Over time, ad spend decreases and profit increases. But, not overnight. AsteroidX produces quick wins in 30 days, but sees profit at scale in about 90 days.

Recap:

Step 1 of 6: your ad (listing) is optimized.

Step 2 of 6: break-even ACoS and strategy confirmed.

Let’s run some flippin’ ads.

Step 3 of 6: AUTO CAMPAIGNS

Recall: our vinyl record cleaning kit.

Shopper types a keyword, your ad appears.

This structure is called “Sponsored Products”. There are 2 types of ads under this SP umbrella: Automatic and Manual (there’s also Sponsored Brands, but more on that in Step 6).

So:

Auto: Amazon chooses the keywords you appear for.

Manual: you choose the keywords you appear for.

Automatic campaigns discover new, longtail, profitable keywords you may not have thought of (since Amazon picks the keywords).

Manual campaigns use handpicked keywords you know make sales. 100% control over bids and match types.

It’s a funnel. A 1-2 step. Auto finds ideas, Manual thoroughly cashes in on those ideas.

To use a diamond metaphor: “Auto mines, Manual shines”.

More on this relationship:

AUTOMATIC:

– Pro: discover new, longtail, profitable keywords you may not have thought of. Test with low effort.

– Con: bids equally on all keywords (good, bad, and ugly). Spray and pray.

– Spend: 50% of your daily spend on Day 1, 20% by Days 60-90.

– Setup: easy – 2 minutes each. Keywords picked by Amazon.

– Maintenance: check Search Term reports weekly to add negatives, move winners to Manual.

– Bidding: 1 bid for all keywords

– Negative Keywords: yes

– Pausing Keywords: no

– Fun Fact: can also show up in competitor ASINs, whereas Manual ads can’t.

MANUAL:

– Pro: create high-profit, low ACoS campaigns at scale. Lots of sales volume. Test specific ideas.

– Con: more complex and higher maintenance. Lose money if left unattended.

– Spend: 50% of daily spend on Day 1, 80% by Days 60-90.

– Setup: moderate – 10 minutes each. Keywords picked by seller.

– Maintenance: check Seller Central weekly to add negatives, adjust bids, and pause.

– Bidding: 1 controllable bid for each individual keyword (along with suggested bids).

– Negative Keywords: yes

– Pausing Keywords: yes

– Fun Fact: Manual campaigns are not fun. They are serious.

We’ll run both from Day 1. We’ll create Autos first.

Amazon says that Auto campaigns use “your product information” (i.e. your listing text) and Amazon’s historical sales data to guess which keywords will make sales.

That’s why you researched and added keywords to your listing in Step 1 of 6… right?

Without keyword density, your Auto won’t work properly.

What? You skipped it? Jump back to Step 1, point #5. It’s cool…

Optimized? OK.

Let’s run our Autos.

Before hopping in, let’s clarify terms. It’s like Russian nesting dolls– one element is housed inside another.

Your ASIN is your listing– your product; what you sell.

Your ASIN is promoted via Campaigns (Auto and Manual).

Inside Campaigns are Ad Groups, a group of ads sharing the same set of keywords and products.

And inside Ad Groups are keywords, the particular searches for which ASINs appear.

Set Up Your 1st Auto Campaign

Go to Amazon Seller Central and hit:

Advertising > Campaign Manager > Create Campaign > Sponsored Products

Which brings us here:

You’ll see…

Campaign name = [ASIN or Product Line]_[Automatic]

End date = 14 days from now

Daily budget = $25/day or more

Targeting = Automatic targeting

End date: why 14 days?

Amazon reports PPC sales 48 hours after the fact. Sales can be attributed up to 7 days after the initial click (e.g. shopper clicks, leaves, comes back later, buys). Welcome to Lag City, population: you. And 2 million other sellers.

And growing.

Daily budget: why $25/day?

It’s a limit; a ceiling. You won’t spend more than this each day in this Auto. The average Amazon-wide cost per click (CPC) is currently ~$0.80, so $25/day = ~30 people to your listing. A healthy Amazon conversion rate = 10%, so expect 1-3 sales a day from a $25/day budget.

Recall:

Auto = 50% of your total daily ad spend. If you spend $25/day here on Auto, prepare to spend another $25/day on Manual for a daily total of $50.

Spend more if possible. Less, and ads aren’t served all day.

Amazon says:

“Don’t ask a barber if you need a haircut” – of course Amazon wants more spend.

But, in this case, we find it to be true. You need data on which keywords work, anyway, so why not expedite? It can take 2 weeks or 2 months for the same result. Up to you!

Select which products you want this Auto Campaign to promote.

If you have 1 ASIN, “Add” that. 1 Ad Group per ASIN is best because you’ll understand sales results on a product-by-product basis.

If this 1 ASIN has multiple SKUs (color, size, etc.) make 1 Ad Group per SKU to understand sales among variations.

If you have 100s of ASINs and making separate Autos is impractical, run 1 Auto per group of closely related products.

Name your Ad group after any of the above. Example: you’re auto company “Atlantic British”.

1 ASIN = B07FNGNJQP. It would be best if it had its own Auto campaign.

But, you have multiple wiper ASINs with keyword overlap, so throw all in 1 Automatic.

Finishing up this Auto:

Default bid = you won’t spend more than this per click. You’ll probably spend less. The current Amazon-wide average is $0.80. Benchmarks:

$0.50 for a non-competitive niches: arthritis silverware, lizard hammocks, beekeeping supplies

$1.50 for average niches: Sports & Outdoors, Home & Kitchen, Tools & Home Improvement

$3.00 for competitive niches: supplements, health, Beauty & Personal Care, phone cases

Negative keywords = leave blank. This specifies keywords you don’t want to appear for. Since this initial Auto is for discovery, anything goes.

Hit “Launch Campaign” and your Automatic is up. Leave it for 14 days.

What to expect from your Autos:

A higher ACoS (because Auto bids on high, mid, and low relevance keywords alike)

A maximum total ad spend of $350 (14 days x $25/day)

1-3 sales per day assuming a $25/day budget and a 10% conversion rate

Next: Manual.

Step 4 of 6: MANUAL CAMPAIGNS

Recall:

Auto finds new keyword ideas; it plants seeds.

Manual grows seeds into full, profitable campaign trees.

Start with a 50/50 daily budget distribution: 50% Auto, 50% Manual (i.e. $25/$25, $50/$50, $100/$100, etc.). Over time, shift spend from 50% Auto/50% Manual to 20% Auto/80% Manual. Or more.

PS:

Already a pro? Got keyword themes to test? Allot more to Manual off the bat (e.g. 60/40, 80/20).

Set Up Your 1st Manual Campaign

Seller Central > Advertising > Campaign Manager > Create Campaign > Sponsored Products > Manual Targeting

Campaign name = [ASIN or Product Line]_[Manual]

End date = No end date

Daily budget = $25/day or more

Targeting = Manual targeting

As in Auto, choose the ASINs this Ad Group will promote.

Ad group name = Broad

Products = the ASIN or group of related ASINs.

If your ASIN has different SKUs (e.g. color or size variants) add only 1 right now. Always advertise SKUs separately to understand sales performance among variants.

What Manual has that Auto doesn’t? Keywords and bids.

In Auto, you can’t choose which keywords you appear for (it’s… Amazon’s choice) and you have 1 default bid for all keywords.

In Manual, you handpick every keyword you appear for and how much you pay for each click.

Default keyword bid = $0.75 is fine. It’s unimportant because we’ll soon set bids on a keyword-basis, overriding this default bid.

Bid+ = leave unchecked – Amazon raising your bids beyond suggested? No thanks.

Select “Enter keywords” instead of “Suggested”.

“Enter keywords” gives you this…

A crystal clear canvas.

Which keywords do you enter?

Simple: if a shopper types this keyword, they buy. This initial Manual campaign will represent our “best guess” at these keywords. A hypothesis.

Example:

Let’s make a Manual campaign for your world-famous lizard hammocks. Think of Manuals in 3 steps:

1. Get Ideas → 2. MerchantWords → 3. Enter into Campaign

1. Get Ideas

4 places to source fresh keyword ideas:

(1) Google Keyword Planner Tool

(2) Visuwords

(3) Other Amazon listings

(4) Amazon autocomplete

(1) Google Keyword Planner Tool. Punch in a main keyword (e.g. “lizard hammocks”).

This generates suggestions.

Write down relevant ones…

lizard hammock

bearded dragon hammock

reptile hammock

reptile hammock bearded dragon

Search related terms. Look around. Then, once the Planner is dry, use other sources to keep building the list.

(2) Visuwords.com delivers a keyword map for “lizard” (which moves like jello, so that’s 10 points for Gryffindor).

Our list has:

lizard hammock

bearded dragon hammock

reptile hammock

reptile hammock bearded dragon

via Visuwords:

gecko hammock

lounge lizard

night lizard

(3) Other Amazon listings. Search related keywords and comb listings for ideas (title and text).

Our list has:

lizard hammock

bearded dragon hammock

reptile hammock

reptile hammock bearded dragon

gecko hammock

lounge lizard

night lizard

via other listings:

lizard lounger

bearded dragon

iguanas

hermit crabs

mesh

(4) Amazon autocomplete shows keywords based on what you type (keywords with the highest search volume appear first).

Honorable mention: Thesaurus.com. Sometimes helpful. But also… sometimes not.

2. MerchantWords

Plug your list into MerchantWords, which estimates monthly search volume. Thanks to MW, you know which keywords are best (i.e. searched most).

3. Enter into Campaign

Compile a list of 10-100 keywords you really think will generate sales.

For lizard hammocks, your keyword list may look like this.

(main variants)

lizard hammock

xl lizard hammock

large lizard hammock

reptile hammock

xl reptile hammock

small reptile hammock

lizard lounger

lizard lounger chair

reptile lounger

(specific kinds of lizards)

gecko hammock

bearded dragon hammock

iguana hammock

(similar but not exactly the same)

lizard terrarium

lizard terrarium supplies

lizard furniture

reptile terrarium

reptile furniture

Enter these keywords with the Match Type “Broad” selected:

Then hit “Add keywords”.

Next: negative keywords.

Leave blank. This specifies keywords you don’t want to appear for. But, since this initial Manual is for discovery (and sales, but mostly discovery), anything goes.

Got your Manual keywords entered as Broad Match Type? Hit “Launch campaign”.

You should now have 2 campaigns running: 1 Auto, 1 Manual. Each at $25+/day.

Now, return to your existing Manual campaign by clicking its name:

Hit “Create ad group”.

Then, enter your same “lizard hammock” Manual keyword list again. Twice. Once for each of the 2 other Match Types:

Phrase

Exact

(we’ve already done Broad)

Entering the same keyword in triplicate guarantees you’ll know which Match Type gets best results.

To wax philosophical for a sec… why do this? If a keyword falls in the forest, does it get the click? What are Match Types?

“Keyword match types determine how relevant a shopper’s search has to be to trigger your ad.” – Abraham Lincoln

Example:

Broad Match: most reach, least precision. You enter “lizard hammock”. You show up for…

“lizard hammock” (exact)

“hammock lizard” (keywords in any order)

“best lizard hammock”, “lizard hammock gecko” (additional words before or after)

“hammock for lizards” (different word order)

“coolest hammock for pets”, “reptile hammock” (other terms Amazon thinks relevant)

Phrase Match: mid reach, mid precision. You enter “lizard hammock”. You show up for…

“lizard hammock” (exact)

“best lizard hammock”, “lizard hammock gecko” (additional words before or after)

Exact Match: least reach, most precision. You enter “lizard hammock”. You show up for…

“lizard hammock” (exact). And that’s it.

Bid Adjustments

The final step of Manual setup: tell Amazon how much you want to pay for each click.

Click on your Manual campaign, then Ad group > Keywords

Some background:

Set all keyword bids to Amazon’s “Suggested bid” by hitting “Apply” next to each CPC.

Most sellers stop here. But not you. You’ve got… the AsteroidX factor!

You see…

Most sellers pick “Suggested bid”, making this CPC the “LA traffic” of Amazon advertising.

You can enjoy more clicks without spending (much) more by adding 3% to each suggested bid. You bid a fraction more, but win exposure because you win the bid auction more often.

3% usually means a 5 to 10 cent raise (and if you’ve got hustler’s ambition… 50 Cents).

Consider:

You won’t always pay your max bid. This number tells Amazon: “I’ll pay up to $2.12 for someone to click my ad.” In our experience, the CPC will be under your max.

You might be thinking of working with AsteroidX. Well… we’ll monitor your bids 24/7 to maximize clicks while maintaining your ACoS numbers from Step 2 of 6. Let’s chat.

Another reason for bidding higher? Not all campaigns are created equal. In general…

New campaigns = worse visibility.

Old campaigns = better visibility.

Amazon is less likely to display keywords from new campaigns because they lack traffic and sales history. To overcome this, bid higher to “force” visibility initially, then scale down over time.

We’ll lower bids in Step 6 of 6 once we have sufficient data.

14 DAY WAIT

Step 5 of 6: REPORTS

If you’re reading this and your ads haven’t run for 14 days yet, keep going so you know what to expect. In entreneurship, “the best surprise is no surprise”. Good for your blood pressure, too.

Amazon PPC Troubleshoot

Have your Auto and Manual ads run for 14 days? Cool.

Let’s see if they worked.

First, we’ll get a top-level, “Macro” view using Campaign Manager, then see “Micro” details via Search Term Report.

Campaign Manager (“Macro” Ad Analysis)

Big picture time.

Campaign Manager is like one of those trendy gender reveals. One glance and you know the gender; but for specifics like eyes, hair color, and if they got your pointy eyebrows, you’ll need your Search Term report.

But enough stalling.

Click Advertising > Campaign Manager. Brace yourself.

You’ll see 1 of 4 possible outcomes, here: 1 good, 2 moderate, and 1 bad. The matrix looks like this:

Outcome #1: Good – HIGH SALES, LOW SPEND

Outcome #2: Moderate – HIGH SALES, HIGH SPEND

Outcome #3: Moderate – LOW SALES, LOW SPEND

Outcome #4: Bad – LOW SALES, HIGH SPEND

Let’s chat about each.

Outcome #1: Good – HIGH SALES, LOW SPEND

If you got Outcome #1, your ad account looks something like this:

Your Sales far exceed your Spend.

Which means, dividing Spend by Sales, your ACoS is beautifully low. When Amazon Advertising serves your product as an ad, it sells.

The listing’s categorized correctly, bids are high enough to serve ads, you get clicks, you convert. In Step 6 of 6, you’ll leverage this out-of-the-gate success to scale sales and cut what little spend you have, Mr. 10% ACoS (when I say “Mr.”, I’m just playing the odds). Here’s my YouTube gender distribution:

Wait… what do you mean your Campaign Manager doesn’t look like this?

Just kidding. Welcome to the club.

If you achieve Outcome #1, congratulations. Jump to Step 6 of 6.

If this isn’t you, that’s “orl korrect” (Old English for “OK”).

Outcome #1 is unusual off-the-bat. Here’s how to deal with other outcomes…

Outcome #2: Moderate – HIGH SALES, HIGH SPEND

You got sales, but your spend is higher than desired, resulting in a high, unprofitable ACoS.

Outcome #2 is the most common outcome for the first 14 days and is still cause for celebration because it means that your ads are served, get sales, and all you need to do is trim the fat (i.e. reduce ad spend on keywords that don’t get results). We’ll do this in detail in Step 6 of 6.

Consider:

We just ran ads for a bunch of Amazon-algo-generated keywords plus a list of our best-guesses. We threw an open-invitation house party and woke up to a few broken vases. Or is it pronounced “vases”? Leave a comment. It’s normal.

Of course some keywords didn’t get sales. By definition, your ads are the worst they’ll ever be.

The good news? A subset of keywords did get sales. We’ll grow winners, cut losers, and the ACoS will drop over time.

That’s why AsteroidX conceptualizes Amazon PPC as 90-day process:

Month 1 is about buying data (high sales, high spend).

Month 2 is about scaling what worked (higher sales, lower spend).

Month 3+ is about ongoing optimization (highest sales, lowest spend).

Outcome #3: Moderate – LOW SALES, LOW SPEND

Outcome #3 is the sound of silence. Minimal. Almost poetic, in a way. But also, in a real, more accurate sort-of-way… it sucks.

Sales are low. Spend equals or exceeds Sales.

At least Outcome #2 had heavy sales volume, letting you chisel your block of ad spend marble into a profit statue.

So…

What does it mean?

Your ads lack exposure. Troubleshooting…

Do your campaigns spend their daily budget? If not, simply increase your bids (e.g. 10%-20% above Suggested), resume running ads for another 7 days, then check back.

But assuming you did spend all (or close to) budget, try this…

In your Campaign Manager dashboard, hit “Add Metric”:

Check your CTR (click through rate). On Amazon, a great CTR is 1.0%. Like, this 0.71% is fine.

This is… less fine but still fine.

0.065% is “fine” with quotation marks. Take a minute to scream into a pillow. See you.

If your CTR is substandard (e.g. 0.01-0.25%), improve the 3 main on-page Amazon SEO inputs, run ads for another 7 days, and check again.

These 3 inputs are what shoppers see when your ad appears: image, price, reviews.

Example:

2 Amazon Sponsored Products ads, both served on page 1 for keyword “vacation accessories”.

The 1st ad has a higher CTR because:

Photo: bright, punchy main image.

Price: accessible, competitive.

Reviews: 10+ 5-star reviews boosting social proof.

Prime 2-Day Shipping (the seller uses FBA).

And a coupon added by the seller. It “pops”. You can do this, too, in Seller Central. For free. Right now.

Advertising > Coupons > Create a new coupon

Photo: test a different main photo for the next 7 days to see if it gets more clicks. As suggested in Step 1 of 6, make your photographer take multiple main images for split-testing.

Price: make your price more “approachable” (read: lower). Here’s the Amazon FBA Revenue Calculator (again) to check your margins.

Reviews: send a follow-up sequence of at least 3 messages via Amazon’s Buyer-Seller Messaging Service. In these messages:

EMAIL 1: SERVICE – Day of Delivery – Provide service to preempt negative feedback

Good news: your package is out for delivery! Once it arrives, let us know if you have any questions about your order. We love our customers and want to make sure you’re 100% happy with your purchase.

EMAIL 2: VALUE – 2 Days Later – Share how to get the most from your product

Find below a special bonus: the Top 10 things you can do to get the most out of the product. And again, if anything seems out of place, let us make it right. Send us a message here on Amazon and we’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy. We’re here for you!

EMAIL 3: REVIEW – 2 Days Later – Request a review

Can you do us a small favor? As a small business, we thrive on customer reviews. We’d appreciate it if you could leave us one. Your honest opinion! Here’s the link to leave yours: [LINK]. Takes 10 seconds. Thank you so much!

Your review rate (number of customers vs. customers reviewing) can climb from the default 1% to 3-5%.

Other:

– Make sure you’re in the right category (i.e. that Amazon understands your listing)

– Make sure your title starts with the most common name for your product (main keyword)

And again…

If you hear this and think “but Pat, my Amazon SEO fundamentals are sound!” and your CTR is in the 0.5-1%+ range, don’t change a thing on-page.

Instead:

Increase bids. In Step 4 of 6, we set Manual campaign bids to Suggested +3%. Crank to Suggested +10-20% to increase exposure. Run all ads again for 7 days, then check again.

Outcome #4: Bad – LOW SALES, HIGH SPEND

Your ads get clicks, but the clicks don’t convert to sales. Maybe 0 sales; maybe low sales; maybe a 401%+ ACoS (i.e. $4.01 on clicks earns $1 in ad revenue).

Outcome #4 is utterly delinquent; the kids that shoved school papers into their backpacks without a binder.

Guidance counselor time. There are 3 possible reasons for Outcome #4…

Reason 1: your ads display in the right places, but your listing is still unoptimized (confusing photos, unappealing price, non-descriptive, reviews are 4-stars or less, etc.) so ad traffic doesn’t buy. If this is the case, don’t be “delusional American Idol contestant”. Admit your listing can’t sing so you can fix it.

Fix: my FREE 30-minute Amazon SEO guide (200k views and seen in Entrepreneur).

Or…

Reason 2: aliens landed in Roswell, New Mexico in June 1947 and the Air Force covered it up.

Or…

Reason 3: your listing is optimized, but Amazon hasn’t correctly classified it (hasn’t “read” your content correctly) and uses low-relevance Sponsored Ad placements.

Fix: ask yourself “is my product in the right category?” If closely comparable products are in a different category, your listing is optimized, and sales are bad… reassess. Contact Amazon Seller Support to request manual category changes. And if you need to escalate, email the office of Jeff Bezos at jeff@amazon.com and get a thorough, well-researched response.

You now know your to fix your Amazon Advertising performance on a “Macro” level.

You know broadly. Next, you will now know specifically…

Search Term Report (“Micro” Ad Analysis)

Download your Search Term report via:

Reports > Advertising Reports > Report Type: Search term > Create report

Make sure “Report period” = the 2 weeks we ran ads, then click “Create report”.

May take a sec.

Open the spreadsheet in your program of choice. Moi, j’utilise Google Drive.

You’ll see lots of data. Don’t let it phase you.

Consider:

The sole purpose of this report is to divide good keywords from bad. Then, to act accordingly.

Even if you got Outcome #2, 3, or 4, you’ve “bought” 2 weeks of PPC data. We can now analyze and act on this data to run better ads.

Opening the report…

Aside: like Roswell 1947, this report is a slight cover up. This seller works with us at AsteroidX, so I’ve redacted Campaign Name, Ad Group Name, Keywords, and Search Terms for privacy. But the data’s accurate, which is what we need. If anything, less clutter to look at.

Let’s meet the 4 main characters of the Amazon Search Term Report:

Campaign Name: the internal name you gave the campaign. AsteroidX uses the naming convention “[ASIN or Product Line]_[Manual/Automatic]”.

Ad Group Name (inside Campaigns): groups of keywords advertised under Broad, Phrase, or Exact match type umbrellas.

Keyword (inside Ad Groups): the specific word you put in an Ad Group to try and get sales (e.g. “lizard hammock”). In Auto, Amazon picks the keywords. In Manual, you pick the keywords.

New thing! Search Term Report exclusive…

Customer Search Term: if the Keyword is what you told Amazon to run ads for, the Customer Search Term is what the customer actually searched and clicked.

Note:

The Customer Search Term may be different from the keyword you picked. This is true of keywords entered as Broad/Phrase match types (but not Exact, where you appear only for the, uh, exact keyword you pick).

Example:

You entered keyword “lizard hammock” with Broad match, so Amazon serves your ad when a customer types “reptile tent”. So, Keyword (what you entered) = “lizard hammock” and Customer Search Term (what the customer actually searched) = “reptile tent”.

Let’s make sense of this report.

Seeing Your Sales Results

Sort the doc by Column N “7 Day Total Sales” from highest to lowest. Use “Z → A” so your best-sellers appear first.

Scroll down. Find the row in Column N where “7 Day Total Sales” starts to equal = $0.00.

In our example Search Term Report, this point is between rows 135 and 136.

Insert a new row. Split the Search Term report into 2 parts with a black line.

To the North: terms that made sales (rows 1 – 134).

To the South: terms that didn’t (rows 135 and below).

Which means:

> 134/4562 (3%) made sales

> 4428/4562 (97%) didn’t. Sad!

You’ll have more or fewer terms depending on spend, number of ASINs, and keywords.

To give you a sense of scale:

This particular seller has ~$4000/month in ad spend and gets a 9x return. Good sales volume and a tight ACoS. Visit AsteroidX.ca for results like this!

*ahem*

You’ve got “have’s” and “have not’s”.

But also, “super-have’s”. The 1%.

Find the 1%

Of the keywords that made sales (north of the black line), isolate those with more than 1 sale. Sort Column Q “7 Day Total Orders” from highest to lowest.

Make another black line separating keywords with 1 sale and >1 sale:

> 29/4562 (0.64%) of keywords made more than 1 sale.

Of our top 29 superstars, sales are evenly distributed.

You now have 2 black lines in your Search Term Report, denoting 3 tiers:

1. Keywords with 0 sales (no good so far)

2. Keywords with 1 sale (promising)

3. Keywords with >1 sale (they’re good; no fluke)

Time to use this data to scale, cut costs, and begin your rightful reign at the top.

It’s time for the most important step: Step 6.

Step 6 of 6: CAMPAIGN OPTIMIZATION

We sliced our Search Term report in 3:

1. Keywords with 0 sales

2. Keywords with 1 sale

3. Keywords with >1 sale

First, let’s clean up keywords with 0 sales:

1. Keywords with 0 sales

2. Keywords with 1 sale

3. Keywords with >1 sale

PPC Optimization 1: Cut Wasted Ad Spend

Recall:

Exact/Broad/Phrase match let you specify which keywords you want to appear for.

Similarly:

“Negative keywords” let you specify which keywords you DON’T want to appear for.

We’ll now make a list of Customer Search Terms we don’t want to appear for going forward. A keyword “blacklist”.

Our Search Term Report is blank for privacy, but Column H in your Search Term Report south of the final black line is full of keywords that didn’t make any sales. The “sad” group.

“No prob” you say, “I pay pennies per click!”

Yes, prob.

Ad spend adds up. Total cost of every Customer Search Term with a click but 0 sales? $1,515.84.

Drilling down…

Sort your “0 sale” section by Spend (Column M) from highest to lowest.

The 2 most wasteful terms? $60.48 and $53.59 respectively, which both made $0.00. Prime candidates for free 2-Day Shipping straight out of your campaign, if you know what I mean.

Which other Customer Search Terms should you negate?

Like ACoS in Step 2, it’s up to you.

On the one hand:

– your budget is tight

– you look at your “0 sale” Customer Search Terms and don’t feel they’re relevant

– you could negate the entire “0 sale” section

On the other hand:

– you’ve got a budget to experiment

– you look at your Customer Search Terms and you feel they’re relevant, but just haven’t paid off yet

– you could negate nothing, or negate only in part

That said, draw the line somewhere. Don’t leave wasted spend unchecked indefinitely.

Here are 3 criteria you can use to negate keywords despite the allure of future payoff:

If a Customer Search Term gets 0 sales but…

> 10+ clicks, or

> $10+ in ad spend, or

> 1000+ impressions

…then, turn it off by adding it as a Negative keyword. These are approximate, but the ideas are right.

How to negate keywords:

Copy/paste the underperforming Customer Search Terms (NOT the Keywords), then do this:

Advertising > Campaign Manager > (click into a campaign) > Negative keywords > Add negative keywords > Match type = “Negative exact”

A crystal-clear canvas:

Add your blacklist to the Auto and Manual campaigns where the “0 sale” terms originated.

This ensures you won’t advertise for these terms in these campaigns again; daily budget flows to remaining, stronger keywords, “natural selection style”. Amazon regards your campaigns as more relevant over time.

“Negative Keywords”, a haiku:

PPC Optimization 2: Bid Adjustments (Manual Campaigns)

We’ve now stopped some bleeding (defence). Time to leverage keywords that made sales in our 2-week run (offence).

1. Keywords with 0 sales

2. Keywords with 1 sale

3. Keywords with >1 sale

Focusing first on a specific subset of keywords with sales: keywords with higher-than-desired ACoS.

Alright, they made sales, but like… current ACoS exceeds your desired limit from Step 2 of 6.

In our report, ACoS = Column O.

They’ve got potential, so don’t negate them. It’s the “3 Second Rule”: eat the donut (“keyword”) even though it fell on the floor (“high ACoS”).

What to do?

Keep calm and bid lower.

Keep these Customer Search Terms in their current Manual campaigns (they’re not negated like “0 sale” terms). Simply lower their bids inside their current campaigns.

Recall:

Up to now, we bid at “Suggested” or “Suggested +3%”.

Now:

Cut bids by 15% per week to see if you can appear, but at a cheaper cost per click.

Recall:

Amazon determines Sponsored Products placement via dynamic, real-time auction. Bid price is only 1 factor. Others include: campaign age and success, perceived product relevance, listing optimization, product sales history for the keyword, etc.

Even if you bid below “Suggested” CPC, you may still appear if…

– Amazon serves your ad on page 2, 3, 4, etc.

– Amazon considers your product highly relevant to the search (i.e. likely to convert)

– others have spent their daily budgets and you appear off-hours (e.g. at night)

2 warnings vis-à-vis decreasing bids:

Bid Adjustment Warning 1: Don’t de-escalate bids too fast.

Example:

A Customer Search Term has a 200% ACoS and an average $1.50 CPC. That ACoS is too high, so bid at $1.25 this week, then check performance again in 7 days. Don’t “2008 stock market” to a $0.05 bid immediately, or you’ll freefall past your ideal bid, pricing yourself out of the auction.

Bid Adjustment Warning 2: Don’t de-escalate bids without sufficient data.

Just as you set minimum criteria for negating a “0 sales” term, set criteria for bid reduction. Get enough data before making a decision that will limit the scope of your ads.

Example:

Collect at least 1000 impressions (more, like 5000, is better) prior to bid adjustment, as your CPC may self-correct over time. The more data, the more credible the results.

Check back weekly.

The cardinal sin of Amazon PPC isn’t poor ad performance; it’s not doing anything about poor ad performance.

PPC Optimization 3: Graduating Keywords

We finish with how to treat high-sale, low-ACoS terms:

1. Keywords with 0 sales

2. Keywords with 1 sale

3. Keywords with >1 sale

But before that: a recap.

Here’s what to do with every type of keyword you see in your Search Term Report:

1. No sales, no clicks, no ACoS = Nothing. Harmless. Ghosts that don’t show in reports.

2. No sales, yes clicks, yes ACoS = Negate some, keep some. Depends on budget.

3. Yes sales, yes clicks, yes ACoS = Bid adjust. If from Manual, keep in their original Manual. If from Auto, graduate to a new Manual to control bids.

4. Yes sales, yes clicks, low ACoS = Graduate to their own manual to control their bids.

In this 4th happy quadrant: your “A Players”.

They have sales; good ACoS; graduated with honors; your heart aches with joy.

These keywords will now start their own “solo careers”.

Consider:

Beyoncé Knowles started her career in girl group Destiny’s Child, overshadowed her peers, then broke into a successful solo career. Same with keywords. 2 weeks in, high-sales, low-ACoS “Beyoncés” emerge and get solo campaigns with more budget, more sales, more visibility.

Here’s how to “graduate” winning terms.

Example:

We sell arthritis silverware.

Good niche! Rather smart of you… did you use Asteroid Index?

After 2 weeks of ads, slice your Search Term Report in 3 (0 sales, 1 sale, >1 sale). The following 5 Customer Search Terms had >1 sale and ACoS under desired limits:

arthritis silverware

arthritis silverware set

adaptive utensils

grip cutlery

senior silverware

Look at them.

Spot themes in the form of common words and concepts.

Keywords “arthritis” and “silverware” appear multiple times, so we can pull that thread.

Keyword “adaptive”. Rehabilitation. Assisted living. Ergonomics.

Keyword “senior” or “seniors”. Older people. Care.

Themes may include namesakes for your customers (e.g. rock climbers, cyclists, new moms) or product use cases (e.g. surveillance, dark room photography, barbecuing). And if you’ve got some brand recognition, Manual campaigns built around brand names often see high sales and low ACoS.

Got your themes? Now, simply replicate your keyword research process for Step 4 of 6, and build out 2-5 new Manual campaigns around concepts proven by this 2-week run.

To jog your memory, the flow is:

1. Get Ideas → 2. MerchantWords → 3. Enter into Campaign

Tools to generate similar, related keywords:

(1) Google Keyword Planner Tool

(2) Visuwords

(3) Other Amazon listings

(4) Amazon autocomplete

MerchantWords:

Quantify and prioritize your keyword ideas using MerchantWords.

Make a New Manual Campaign:

Seller Central > Advertising > Campaign Manager > Create Campaign > Sponsored Products > Manual Targeting

Enter these keywords with the same Match Type as they had in their campaign of origin (pre-Beyoncé).

Next, add these same Customer Search Terms as Negative Exact Match to the older Automatic and Manual campaigns that birthed them.

Why? To avoid bidding on them both there and here, in your new campaigns. A keyword shouldn’t exist in 2 places at once. This effectively “moves over” keywords from their old home to a new one.

Now, run your new Manuals for another 14 days, add and negate more keywords based on the data, check in another 14 days, etc.

It’s an exodus of keywords from Automatic to Manual. From guessing to knowing. From testing to control. As keywords move from Auto to Manual, shift a corresponding amount of your daily ad spend.

Example:

Auto: $25/day, Manual: $75/day. You graduate keywords spending $5/day from Auto to Manual. Therefore, your new daily budget distribution is Auto: $20/day, Manual: $80/day.

With enough time and knowledge (knowledge you now have!), Amazon PPC trends to perfection. Not all things in life can be perfect, but your PPC can be.

Ongoing Maintenance

That said, it’s not “set it and forget it”, because customer search volume and bid prices change.

5 things:

1. Optimization

Download your Search Term Report 1x/week, check results on a keyword level, and act accordingly. Identify new themes and build dedicated Manual campaigns around them.

2. Bid Adjustments

No exposure on an important keyword? Increase bids. Spending too much on keywords? De-escalate bids by 15% a week.

3. Special Events

New product launches require running Steps 1-6 for the new ASINs. Also, selling hammocks in July? Masks in October? Raise budgets and bids to ride waves of seasonal demand.

4. Sponsored Brands

With a strong Sponsored Products foundation, experiment with Sponsored Brands. They work like Auto and Manuals, but allow you to advertise multiple products in 1 banner.

Example:

Here are Amazon search results for keyword “gender reveal”:

Sponsored Brands = multiple products, 1 top banner above results.

Sponsored Products = 1 product, 1 spot in results.

To be honest, we’ve found these to be a secondary source of revenue (20%), even in cases where they’re effective. Amazon will continue to evolve this ad offering as it continues its move to “brand-centricity”. But for now, Sponsored Brands are an advertising footnote. Once your Sponsored Products ads have stable revenues and you’re looking to expand, give this a try. Works particularly well for products that share a strong common brand or character, form a cohesive set, or are otherwise complimentary.

5. Listing Re-optimization

1 last killer tip, then you get the Amazon PPC Cheat Sheet to summarize everything.

We started with Amazon SEO in Step 1 of 6, and we’re coming full circle.

New idea: put top PPC keywords into your listing.

Amazon PPC data is the best keyword data you have (way better than Google or Amazon estimates) because it’s real sales data that applies specifically to your product.

Any keyword that’s a top performer and not in your listing… add it! You’ll rank for this keyword organically more often, get sales for it, rank more, make more sales, etc.

At AsteroidX, we call this “listing re-optimization”.

Example:

Imagine that this is your listing:

Main keyword: “silicone baking mat”.

An Auto campaign reveals high sales/low ACoS for keyword “silicone baking pan”, a related item:

Update a bullet point to mention that your mat is an “excellent substitute for silicone baking pans”. Consider expanding your product portfolio to include silicone pans. Ask your supplier. Demand verified.

So, PPC data generates:

– keyword ranking

– money in the bank

– and even product development

The Future of Amazon Advertising

As long as people need physical stuff, Amazon (and Amazon Ads) will flourish.

When it comes to high-purchase-intent searches for all physical things, over 50% of searches now start on Amazon, not Google.

Because customers want pricing. They want reviews. And of course, they want to buy now with free 2-day shipping.

But, there’s currently a mismatch:

Amazon ads serve a deep need. Remember, it’s Amazon’s fastest-growing segment by revenue.

And yet…

They’re rudimentary. It’s Google AdWords 10 years ago. Facebook 5 years ago. So, start advertising now. Get on top and stay on top.

Want to implement everything you just saw instantly? Hire AsteroidX.

We’re a done-for-you solution that takes care of all of your Amazon ads, delivering great sales and ranking results to 1-person shops to the Inc. 500 alike.
