Why is AMS important to Vendors?
Headline Search Ads
Headline Search Ads - Top of Funnel
Headline Search Ads Landing Page Options
• Amazon Pages are best for branded searches.
• Custom URL’s allow for the greatest degree of segmented targeting.
• Search Results Pages only drive to the top level browse node (ex: Home & Kitchen).
Headline Search Reporting
• Headline Search Ads typically result in more click volume at lower CPC’s than Product Display ads.
• Conversion is dependent upon selecting the most relevant landing page for the search terms being targeted.
• Using a customer’s search query as an indicator of intent leads to higher converting campaigns.
Product Display Ads
Product Display Ads - Bottom of Funnel
Product Display Ad Targeting
• Product Targeting typically results in lower click volume, higher CPC’s, and a lower ACOS than interest based targeting.
• Interest Based Targeting is intended to cast a wide net with less relevancy, which typically leads to greater click volume, lower CPC’s, and a higher ACOS than product targeting.
• Employing a mix of both is best practice for ensuring you are getting in front of as many potential customers as possible.
Product Display Ad Targeting Strategies
• A Defensive Strategy protects your product detail pages against targeting advertisers.
• An Offensive Strategy targets competitor detail pages to reach shoppers just before they make their final purchase decision.
Sponsored Product Ads
Sponsored Product Ads - Middle of Funnel
Sponsored Products Targeting
Automatic Targeting is driven by your product content. Amazon will match your product to relevant customer search terms.
Manual Targeting requires you select keywords you’d like to target.
The way the sponsored products placements work are as open auctions for all of the qualifying products from all sellers vying for that space. The "winners" of the auction are determined by relevancy, the bid level, and sales history.
Sponsored Products Reporting
• Automatic Campaigns can be used to keyword harvest and identify niche opportunities.
• Manual Campaigns should typically have higher CPC bids than automatic campaigns and specifically target search terms and keywords that have been identified as valuable.
• Sponsored Product ads only show up when your offer is in the Buy Box.
