The Main Types of Ads You Need to Know
Amazon has three main types of PPC ads that can reach customers at any point in their buying process:
1. Sponsored Products:
Ads that target keywords and ASINs and show up in search results and on product pages. These are the types of ads that people use the most.
2. Sponsored Brands:
This is a great way to get people to know about your brand. It can include your logo, a headline, and up to three products.
3. Sponsored Display:
This type of ad reaches customers both on and off Amazon. Great for getting back in touch with people who have looked at your products.

Important Metrics
Keep an eye on these key performance indicators to make sure your campaigns are on track:
Metric What It Checks
ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sales) Ad spend divided by ad revenue; shows how well something works
Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) Revenue divided by ad spend; the opposite of ACoS. CTR (Click-Through Rate) Percentage of impressions that turn into clicks
Rate of Conversion How many clicks lead to sales and affect profits
Setting realistic goals like break-even ACoS or aggressive ROAS targets starts with defining your goals up front, such as brand awareness vs. profitable sales.

Create a Winning How to Use Amazon PPC
1. Begin with a smart campaign structure
• Start automatic discovery campaigns—Amazon finds relevant search terms and runs initial tests.
• Move the best performers to manual Exact, Phrase, or Broad match campaigns for more precise targeting.
-
Use Product Targeting and Defensive Bids
• Use ASIN targeting to put your ads on listings of competitors, especially those that aren’t doing well.
• To keep competitors from attacking your brand, bid on your own ASIN. -
Plan your negotiations for placements
• To get to the top of the search results (page 1), raise your bids or change your placement settings by up to 100%, especially for Exact match keywords. - Improve through listing and negative keywords
- A well-organized listing (with titles, bullets, and backend keywords) makes ads better and more likely to convert.
• Use negative keywords to cut down on waste and get rid of clicks that don’t matter and ACoS.

Advanced Tactics for 2025: - AI, Video Ads, and Working Together on Different Platforms
AI-powered targeting lets you divide your audience into groups based on how they act and how likely they are to buy something.
• Video ads are becoming more popular because they get almost twice as many people to interact with them as still images do.
• Make campaigns easier to manage across platforms to get your message out to more people.
Attribution Evolved with MTA: Amazon’s new Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA), which came out on August 11, 2025, uses machine learning and controlled trials to accurately assign conversion value to different touchpoints.
• This makes sure you know which ads really lead to purchases all the way through the funnel.
