Strategic Context

THE STRATEGIC VIEW

Amazon PPC is the tax you pay to win organic soil. Strategic ROAS on Amazon is not about the ad-attributed sale, but about the "Search Resonance" it creates. Every ad sale pushes your BSR (Best Seller Rank) higher, leading to the organic sales that actually generate your 20%+ profit margins.

Operational Reality

ACOS VS TACOS: THE REAL SCORECARD

In 2025, obsessing over individual campaign ACoS is a beginner's trap. Elite Amazon sellers manage by TACoS (Total Advertising Cost of Sale)—Total Ad Spend divided by TOTAL (Organic + Paid) Revenue.

THE ORGANIC RANKING HALO

Amazon PPC is an investment in Organic Rank. A sale driven by a "Sponsored Product" ad signals to the A9 algorithm that your product is relevant, pushing your organic listing higher. If your TACoS is dropping while your ACoS is stable, your ads are successfully driving "Free" organic sales.

CATEGORY-SPECIFIC REALITY

Average ACoS varies wildly by category: Beauty & Health often see 35%+, while Electronics might hover near 15%. To win, your ROAS target must be calibrated against your specific niche's Gross Margin after FBA fees (the 15% Amazon referral tax).

Tactical FAQ

TACTICAL Q&A

Q: What is a "Good" TACoS on Amazon in 2025?
A: A healthy TACoS for a mature brand is 10% - 15%. This means you are reinvesting a portion of your revenue to protect your organic rankings from competitors. A TACoS below 5% often indicates you are underspending and losing market share.
Q: Should I bid on my own brand name on Amazon?
A: Yes. This is a "Defensive" play. Competitors will bid on your brand name to steal your loyal customers at the last second. Protecting your "Brand ROAS" is often the most profitable ad spend you can make.
Q: How do I lower my ACoS without losing sales volume?
A: Negative Keyword Harvesting. Weekly audits of your "Search Term Report" to exclude non-converting clicks is the only way to maintain a pro-level ROAS as Amazon's ad inventory becomes more crowded.
Q: Sponsored Products vs. Sponsored Brands?
A: Sponsored Products drive the highest ROAS and are best for ranking. Sponsored Brands (top of page banners) have a lower ROAS but are essential for Brand Recall and defensive positioning against copycat sellers.
