Amazon Ads

On Amazon, ads and organic are one flywheel. We engineer both sides of it - against margin, not spend.

Amazon Ads decide marketplace survival: Sponsored Products and Brands that win the shelf, DSP for reach beyond it, and the organic flywheel that ad-driven sales feed. We manage the system against contribution margin - the number that survives after Amazon takes everything.

Every campaign decision connects to the listing it supports: retail readiness, inventory, pricing, and reviews are part of the ads strategy because on Amazon they are the ads strategy.

The Challenge

Most marketplace accounts bleed through structureless campaigns: auto campaigns left running for years, branded defense spend on terms they would win free, ACOS targets set without margin math, and listings asked to convert traffic they were never built for.

Meanwhile the flywheel runs in reverse: weak listings waste ad spend, weak ad sales suppress organic rank, and the gap to category leaders compounds.

Our Approach

Margin math first: contribution per SKU calculated before targets are set - ACOS goals derived from economics, not industry folklore. Retail readiness is a launch gate: listings, inventory, and pricing fixed before spend scales.

Campaign architecture follows intent tiers: branded defense at minimum cost, category conquesting where margin allows, and auto discovery feeding proven terms into exact campaigns. Organic rank movement is tracked as an ads outcome, because that is what it is.

Frequently Asked Questions

The one your margin supports - calculated per SKU from contribution, not borrowed from a benchmark post. Sometimes that is fifteen percent; sometimes forty during a launch. The math decides.

Defensively and cheaply, yes - if you do not, competitors take the top of your own search page. The discipline is spending the minimum that holds the position, not max-bidding your own name.

They start the flywheel: ad-driven sales velocity is the strongest organic ranking input on Amazon. But ads cannot sustain a listing that does not convert - readiness comes first, then the wheel turns.
