How to adjust Amazon CPC ads daily?

01

Do CPC ads need daily adjustment?

In fact, Amazon advertising does not recommend making too many adjustments every day.

Why? The adjustments are too frequent, and we cannot see the results of the daily adjustments, right?

When is adjustment needed?

That is, advertising indicators, such as exposure, clicks, and conversion rates, show obvious abnormalities for more than three consecutive days.

Why 3 days?


Often, the effect of an ad adjustment is not immediate, and may lag behind. In addition, one day’s data is not enough to explain the problem, so it is necessary to wait 2-3 days before making adjustments.

If the data for three days are abnormal, it means there is something wrong with the ad. Therefore, we must control this time node.

Is it true that CPC advertising is adjusted every three days, with only statistical analysis of advertising data every day? Even if problems can be clearly identified in the advertising, no adjustments are made?

No. The ads have obvious problems and can be adjusted.

For example:

①Add negative words

Automatic advertising, manual keyword phrase matching and broad matching require daily negation if the search terms are too weak. For example, if the product we sell is 'Whetstone', if the search terms include stone and knife, we obviously need to negate them.

②CPC ads are not exposed or clicked.

We set up various advertising campaigns, but when we looked at the data on the second day, we found that there were no impressions or clicks.

At this time, we need to self-check the reasons for the lack of exposure or clicks:

---The link does not have a shopping cart. The shopping cart may have been taken away by someone else, or the price of the product may have been adjusted too much, resulting in the shopping cart being lost.

---The ad contains sensitive words. Amazon ads are not allowed to contain words related to tobacco, religion, politics, and adult products.

---The advertising campaign has not taken effect. Video ads in brand advertising often require an audit, which takes about 24 hours. If the audit fails, it will not be put on the air. This requires self-correction and self-examination.

③ Unable to find ad space Sometimes, we go to Amazon front desk to search for ad space with the keywords of CPC ads, but we find that we can’t find our product ad space anywhere .

We can’t find it during our working hours or after get off work. This is probably because the new product has just been launched and the bid is too low, resulting in almost no exposure or click opportunities for our product.

When encountering this situation, we need to check whether the link is eligible for advertising; if so, check whether the product being placed is the correct product. Some sellers are prone to making this mistake; if neither is the case, then we need to increase the bid and find our advertising space.

Taking the US site as an example, we can search around 9pm to 11pm (daytime in the US) to see if we can find an ad space. If we can’t find one, we need to increase the bid until an ad space appears, and then record the bid adjustment.

Which advertising metrics to focus on every day

(1) Exposure

(2) Click

① If the click rate drops by more than 20%, check whether there are any abnormal ads, open phrases of keywords with good conversions, or broad keywords.

② If the click-through rate of a keyword is low, check whether the relevance is strong and increase the bid. Generally, the click-through rate is highest at the top of the search results, followed by other positions in the search results, and the click-through rate is lowest on the detail page.

③ If the daily clicks increase by more than 20% and the conversion rate of the advertising campaign is stable and good, you can continue to observe; if the clicks increase, but the conversion rate becomes lower, check the search term report, and the automatic advertising negates the poorly performing words and irrelevant words; optimize the manual advertising

(3) Cost per click (CPC)

You should lower your bid by about 10% every day. If the click volume and conversion rate are stable, you can continue to try to lower it. If the click volume decreases and the budget cannot be spent, you should make step-by-step adjustments to restore the click volume.

(4) Expenses

If your recent spending has increased by 20%-30%, observe whether the click volume has increased. If so and the conversion rate is good, no adjustment is required. If the spending has increased, but the clicks and conversions have not increased, check whether the bid is too high.

(5) Order conversion rate

① If your order conversion rate is more than 20% lower than usual, you should first confirm whether the query time range is correct, and then observe for two or three days to see if the conversion rate is still reduced. If the conversion rate is still reduced, you should check your exposure, clicks and ad positions and previous changes, check the content you adjusted last time, and gradually restore it to its original state.

② The conversion rate of an ad with good conversion rate suddenly deteriorates. Check whether the product is out of stock or some SKUs are out of stock, and adjust the bid and budget in time; if the product is not out of stock, check whether your link has bad reviews that cause the score to be too low; finally, check the adjustments you made the day before the sudden deterioration and prescribe the right remedy.

How to adjust product ads with different inventory status

(1) Adequate inventory

Products with sufficient inventory. You need to hit the homepage of the core traffic keyword website, hit the homepage to open the phrase; then hit the second core word. According to our previous experience. From the beginning of the promotion of new products, it takes about 15 days for the core words to be on the homepage. Generally, there are 2 multi-functional precision + 1 automatic advertising to start.

(2) Large amount of unsalable inventory

There are a lot of unsalable stocks and poor link performance. Try to see if it can be activated by using the form of seven-day flash sales + core word advertising with a large budget + large coupons. If this operation fails twice, you need to clear the stock on social media.

(3) Products that are about to be out of stock

By combining the arrival time, current sales volume and advertising sales forecast, we can determine the number of orders to be controlled each day and the range of advertising orders to be controlled in order to reduce the budget.
