Retail readiness first
We check that listings have strong titles, images, A+ content, reviews, competitive prices and stock before scaling ad spend.
Sponsored ads on Amazon.in and global marketplaces, managed for profitable sales and stronger organic rank, not just a lower ACoS on paper.
For many product categories in India, Amazon is where purchase decisions happen. Shoppers search directly on Amazon for what they want to buy, compare listings, read reviews and check delivery times, then purchase within minutes. That makes Amazon advertising one of the highest-intent forms of advertising available: your ads appear at the moment people are ready to buy, next to competitors’ products.
But Amazon is also crowded and competitive. Sponsored placements take up much of the first page of results, costs per click have risen in many categories, and marketplace fees, returns and discounts squeeze margins. Sellers who run Amazon ads without a clear strategy often see high spend, sales that look healthy but are unprofitable after fees, and wasted budget on irrelevant searches. Sellers who do it well use ads not only to generate direct sales, but to build sales velocity and reviews that lift organic ranking, reducing reliance on ads over time.
As an Amazon PPC agency, we manage Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display campaigns for sellers and brands on Amazon.in and international marketplaces. We start with listing and retail readiness, because ads cannot fix a weak listing, then build structured campaigns, harvest profitable keywords, add negatives, manage bids by placement, protect branded searches and report on advertising cost of sales, total advertising cost of sales and profitability. For Flipkart, quick-commerce and other marketplaces, see our marketplace and quick-commerce ads service.

We check that listings have strong titles, images, A+ content, reviews, competitive prices and stock before scaling ad spend.
Separate campaigns for discovery, proven keywords, brand terms and competitor targeting give control and clear reporting.
Converting search terms from automatic and broad campaigns are moved into exact-match campaigns with dedicated bids.
Target ACoS is set per product based on margin after Amazon fees, shipping and returns, not a single account-wide number.
Ads build sales velocity on important keywords, which helps organic ranking and reduces long-term ad dependence.
Sponsored Brands and branded keyword campaigns keep competitors from capturing shoppers searching for your brand.
Budgets, bids, deals and stock are planned ahead of major sale events so campaigns do not run out of budget at peak demand.

Amazon offers several self-service ad types for sellers and vendors.
Ads bring shoppers to your listing; the listing converts them. If the title is unclear, images are weak, bullets do not answer questions, A+ content is missing, reviews are few or poor, the price is uncompetitive or stock is low, ads will generate expensive clicks without sales. We review these elements first and recommend fixes. Winning the Buy Box is also essential, since ads generally only serve when your offer is the featured one.
A clear structure separates campaigns by purpose. Automatic campaigns discover new search terms. Broad and phrase match campaigns explore variations. Exact match campaigns target proven, high-converting keywords with precise bids. Product targeting campaigns place ads on competitor or complementary product pages. Brand campaigns protect your own brand searches. Organising by product line or margin tier allows different targets. This structure makes it clear where sales come from and where to invest.
Search term reports show the actual searches that triggered your ads and led to sales. Keyword harvesting means regularly moving converting search terms into exact match campaigns where they can receive their own bids and budgets, and adding them as negatives in discovery campaigns to avoid competing with yourself. Non-converting or irrelevant terms are added as negatives. This cycle steadily improves efficiency.
Advertising cost of sales (ACoS) is ad spend divided by ad-attributed sales. Total advertising cost of sales (TACoS) is ad spend divided by total sales, including organic. ACoS shows campaign efficiency; TACoS shows how dependent the business is on advertising. A healthy pattern is stable or falling TACoS as ads help build organic sales. Targets should be based on product margins after Amazon fees, shipping, returns and discounts, so we calculate break-even ACoS per product.
Amazon’s organic ranking is influenced by relevance and sales performance for search terms. Ads that generate sales for important keywords can increase sales velocity, which may improve organic rank for those keywords. Over time, stronger organic positions mean more unpaid sales. This is why some brands accept a higher ACoS on strategic keywords during launches, while keeping overall profitability in view.
Sponsored Products ads can appear at the top of search results, elsewhere in search results or on product pages. Performance often differs significantly by placement, with top-of-search placements typically converting better but costing more. Placement bid adjustments let you bid more for placements that perform well. We review placement reports and adjust by campaign.
Often, yes. Competitors can target your brand keywords and product pages, placing their products in front of shoppers looking for you. Branded campaigns are usually inexpensive and protect your sales. Sponsored Brands ads at the top of branded searches showcase your range. We measure brand campaigns separately so they do not mask the performance of non-brand campaigns.
Product targeting places your ads on competitor listings or in results for competitor brand searches, where your product offers a clear advantage in price, features, ratings or delivery. It works best when your listing compares favourably. We test competitor targeting carefully, since it can be expensive with lower conversion rates, and focus on products where you genuinely win comparisons.
Major events such as Prime Day and the Great Indian Festival bring much higher traffic and competition. Preparation includes ensuring sufficient stock, setting up deals and coupons, raising budgets well before the event so campaigns do not run out early in the day, adjusting bids for higher conversion rates during peak hours, and running awareness campaigns in the lead-up to build interest. After the event, retargeting captures shoppers who browsed but did not buy.
Amazon Brand Registry, available to brand owners with a registered or applied-for trademark, unlocks Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display features, A+ content, brand stores, Brand Analytics and protections against listing hijacking. For brands selling on Amazon, it is a foundation for both advertising and listing quality.
Yes. Brands often send traffic from Google, Meta, influencers or email to their Amazon listings or store. Amazon Attribution provides tracking links that show how external traffic converts on Amazon. External traffic can support launches and organic ranking. We coordinate these campaigns with our Meta ads and Google Ads teams where relevant.
Yes. Indian exporters and D2C brands increasingly sell on Amazon in the US, UK, UAE and other marketplaces through global selling. Each marketplace has its own search behaviour, competition, fees and advertising costs. We manage campaigns per marketplace with localised keywords and targets, often starting with a focused set of proven products.
These are common patterns in Amazon account audits.
Budget depends on category competition, margins, growth goals and the stage of each product. New launches may need higher investment to gain visibility and reviews; established products can often be run at a profitable ACoS. We model budgets per product group and adjust them based on results and inventory.
Marketplace sales and direct sales support each other. Shoppers may discover you on Amazon and later buy directly from your D2C website, or research on your site and buy on Amazon for faster delivery. A consistent brand, pricing strategy and product information across channels builds trust, and blended reporting shows total growth.
New listings have no sales history or reviews, so Amazon has little reason to rank them. A launch plan typically combines a well-prepared listing, a competitive introductory price or coupon, automatic and broad campaigns to gather search term data, exact-match campaigns on the most relevant keywords, Sponsored Brands placements alongside established products from the same brand, and legitimate review programmes where available. Budgets and ACoS targets are higher during launch, with clear milestones for moving to profitability.
Dayparting adjusts bids or budgets by time of day or day of week. Many Indian categories see stronger conversion rates in the evening and on weekends, while some B2B or office products perform better during working hours. Scheduling tools or rules can shift spend toward stronger periods and prevent budgets running out before peak shopping hours. The benefit depends on the category, so we analyse hourly performance before applying it.
Management costs depend on the number of products and campaigns, marketplaces, ad types used, listing optimisation support, reporting depth and event planning. Ad spend is paid directly to Amazon, and listing content such as A+ modules or images may be quoted separately.
Amazon PPC management is a monthly retainer based on ad spend and catalogue size, often starting with an audit and restructure. Ad spend is paid directly to Amazon.
