Ad data isn’t public. After you send the form, we email simple steps to share read-only access to your Amazon Ads account, or a search term report from the last 60 days. A PPC specialist sends you prioritized findings and next steps within 3–5 business days of receiving it. A report-only audit covers what that report shows; budgets, placements and campaign settings need account access. The paid PPC Audit & Rebuild goes deeper and includes the changes.

  • Spend on search terms that aren’t relevant or don’t convert
  • Missing negative keywords and match type issues
  • Campaign overlap with no clear purpose
  • Bids, budgets and placements against each product’s goal
  • Your 3 most important fixes, in order

Common Amazon PPC problems

Why Amazon ads often cost more than they should

Many ad accounts we audit lose money in the same places. Most of it can be fixed.

Clicks that never sell

Broad and auto campaigns run for months without anyone reviewing which search terms are relevant and which convert.

Spend with 0 orders: 31%

Few negative keywords

Irrelevant searches, like wrong sizes or wrong products, keep using budget every day.

Negative keywords: 4

Messy campaign structure

The same keyword sits in many campaigns with no clear purpose, so budgets split and reports are hard to read.

Overlapping targets: 57

No clear goal per product

Nobody agreed if a product is launching, growing or earning profit, so “good” and “bad” results are guesses.

Goal per product: none

Ads hiding a listing problem

Weak images, a high price or missing details, and the ads get blamed for low sales.

Conversion rate: 4%

Set and forget

Bids were set at launch and never reviewed, even as competitors and seasons changed.

Last bid change: 5 months ago

How we measure success

We judge the whole product, not one campaign

A launch campaign can have a high ACoS and still be the right move, if the product’s total sales, TACoS and profit stay on plan. So these four numbers come first.
Total salesAll sales of the product, from ads and not from ads
TACoSAd spend ÷ total sales, by product
Profit after ad spendYour contribution margin minus ad spend
Organic visibilityRank on your most important searches

ACoS stays in every report as a campaign check. It is not the final score.

Goals change by stage

1

Launch & ranking

New product, or a push on key searches.

Typical campaign ACoS
Can run above break-even, on purpose
  • Agreed purpose and budget limit
  • A review date and a clear stop point
  • Judged by total sales, TACoS and rank
2

Grow

Selling, with room to win more searches.

Typical campaign ACoS
Around or below break-even
  • Scale relevant keywords that convert
  • Add Sponsored Brands and Display where eligible
  • Watch TACoS as total sales grow
3

Profit

Mature product with steady sales.

Typical campaign ACoS
Below break-even
  • Protect your most important keywords
  • Test lower spend carefully and measure the effect
  • Defend your product pages from competitor ads

Higher bids don’t guarantee organic rankings, and organic growth can’t automatically be credited to ads. We track rank and total sales, and we tell you what the data can and can’t prove.

Break-even ACoS calculator

Does one ad sale make money? Check your break-even ACoS

This shows the direct economics of a single ad sale, using your numbers. It is one input to your plan, not the highest ACoS you can ever accept.

Your product

Break-even ACoS for one ad sale 42%

Contribution before advertising: $16.99 per unit

Example scenarios, not your targets

  • Break-even42%An ad sale earns $0 after the ad cost
  • Keep 20%34%An ad sale keeps about 20% of its contribution
  • Keep 40%25%An ad sale keeps about 40% of its contribution

Break-even ACoS = contribution before advertising ÷ selling price. It shows the direct economics of one ad sale under your numbers. It excludes costs you didn’t enter, like agency fees, taxes and overhead, and it is not total business profit. Launch and ranking campaigns may run above it on purpose.

How we manage your ads

Our Amazon PPC management method, in four layers

No black box. This is what happens in your account and how often. Changes are made where the evidence supports them.
1

Campaign structure

Campaigns organized by product, goal and budget, so you can see what each one is for. We remove overlap with no purpose and keep overlap that has one.

Set up first, reviewed monthly
2

Search terms & negatives

Relevant terms that convert can move to exact match. Irrelevant or clearly unprofitable ones become negatives. We look at relevance, spend and conversion volume, not just zero-order rows.

Reviewed weekly
3

Bids & placements

Bids change where the data supports it, based on the product’s goal, margins, competition and conversions, allowing for late-reported sales. Low-volume products get more time.

Reviewed weekly
4

Budgets by goal

Budget goes to the products and campaigns meeting their goal. Launch and ranking budgets have an agreed limit and end date. At Prime Day and Black Friday, budgets are checked daily.

Weekly, daily at peak events

AI-first, people in charge: we use AI and tools like Jungle Scout, Helium 10 and Data Dive to sort search terms and spot patterns faster. A PPC specialist reviews the data and approves changes. Any automation runs on rules the specialist sets and checks.

Ads and listings together

Ads bring the traffic. Your listing makes the sale.

Ads can’t fix a high price or weak images. Before we raise budgets, we check that the listing can convert. Listing problems are flagged in every plan; fixes are done when they are in your agreed scope.

Web commerce pros created a really lovely design for our website. They also changed the layout for our images and updated/resized images so that the site is overall much more attractive. We have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from customers on the ease of use and the overall look of our site. In addition, we are very grateful to Roy for coming up with a creative solution for allowing customers to easily create their own quotes, which has been very helpful to both our operations and our customers.

Design & custom features

Webecommercepros are great web developers and good people. They moved our 1,000+ page website from our old platform to BigCommerce and did it fast and efficiently. They created all of our new artwork, 301 redirects, converted all of our products and more in record time at a very reasonable cost. We use them for all of our ongoing work like increasing load speed, updating our theme and shopping cart and site changes that we ask for. Highly recommend!

BigCommerce migration

We were in desperate need to move from Volusion to Big commerce as Volusion was not keeping up with all the available apps and Big commerce is a much user friendly platform for a small business like ours. I was really worried about the cost but found Web Ecommerce Pros and it was the best decision we made. They gave us a reasonable price, one that we could afford to do the transition from Volusion to Big Commerce and their service was outstanding. Very responsive, listened to our needs and we were able to move to Big commerce and have our website up and running with no issue. Even after a week of having our website live if there were some glitches on a link or image etc they were still helping to fix those kinks. Highly recommend. They are a very professional team. Further more I am now waiting on a quote from them to help us set up our products on Amazon.

Reporting

A weekly PPC report that shows the whole product, not just clicks

Every week you see what changed and why. Every month, the full picture and a call.
  • Total sales and TACoS, by product
  • Profit after ad spend, using your margins
  • Rank on your most important searches
  • ACoS and ROAS by campaign, as checks
  • Sales attributed and not attributed to ads
  • A log of every change, and why

Why not only ACoS: ACoS counts only ad-attributed sales. TACoS compares ad spend with all sales. Neither shows profit, and neither proves what caused a change. We read them next to your margins, Amazon fees and stock, and explain what the data can and can’t prove.

FAQ

Amazon PPC management: questions sellers ask

Plain answers about Amazon ads, ACoS and working with a PPC agency.

PPC basics

Amazon PPC (pay-per-click) is an advertising model where sellers bid on keywords or products and pay only when a shopper clicks their ad.

ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sales) is ad spend divided by ad-attributed sales. A $30 spend that brings $100 in ad sales is a 30% ACoS.

TACoS (Total Advertising Cost of Sales) is ad spend divided by total sales, including sales not attributed to ads. A falling TACoS means ad spend is taking a smaller share of total sales. We compare it with attributed sales, margins and other data to understand why.

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) is ad sales divided by ad spend. A ROAS of 4 means $4 in ad sales for every $1 spent.

It depends on the campaign’s goal. For profit-focused campaigns, below your break-even ACoS (contribution before advertising ÷ price). Launch and ranking campaigns can run higher on purpose, if the product’s total sales, TACoS and profit after ad spend stay on plan. The calculator on this page shows your break-even.

Yes, when it has a clear job, like launching a product or pushing for rank on an important search. We agree its purpose, budget, review period and stop point first, and judge it by the product’s total sales, TACoS and profit after ad spend.

Automatic campaigns let Amazon choose the keywords and products to target. Manual campaigns let you pick exact keywords, products and bids for more control. Most accounts use both.

Negative keywords stop your ads from showing for irrelevant or unprofitable searches, cutting wasted spend on clicks that rarely turn into sales.
