Using this methodology, Brandography was able to achieve substantial drops in ACOS and CPC while maintaining sales. Note - No branded keywords were used in the targeted keywords. Further, this company competes in the supplements space—one of the most competitive arenas on Amazon.
Example 1 - “Glutamine”
Below is one example of the many campaigns listed within the company’s account. ACOS was over 86% and the CPC was at $3.76 as of November 1, 2019.
Following Brandography’s optimization, by January 1, 2020, we brought the ACOS down to just over 20%—cutting it by more than 4 times—and decreased the CPC by about a third to $1.18.
Example 2 - “Potassium”
This campaign had an ACOS of over 73% and an average CPC of $3.35 when Brandography inherited this campaign.
Within 1 month, Brandography dropped the ACOS to just over 12% and the CPC went down to $0.67.

Optimizing Landing Page Conversions
In addition to optimizing campaign performance, the relevance of targeted keywords to landing page experience plays a big role in ACOS and overall conversion rates. Following success with the optimized campaigns, Brandography examined product pages to best determine how conversion rates could increase even more.
The following methodology was performed:
- Identify targeted keywords that have proven to convert on the paid side and add them to relevant landing pages
- Monitored search terms that have best converted on the site
- Cross-referenced data conversion on the company’s main website to best understand what kind of user converts and tailored messaging on the Amazon page
Amazon Business Strategy
As part of your ongoing campaign, our team will actively monitor product performance to ensure a stronger ROI. We'll help you develop strategic messaging for your campaigns that align with your brand voice and help engage shoppers to make a final purchase at checkout.
Throughout the campaign optimization process, Brandography monitored the best performing products and also made note of CPC price changes and competition. Doing so helped the company determine what products should be listed on Amazon using PPC dollars, which ones would result in poor ACOS and what products could be better pushed using alternative marketing channels.
Our comprehensive approach takes all facets of digital marketing into consideration and works in the best interest of the client.
Results
The company’s overall campaign ACOS decreased from an average of 70-80% per a campaign to 25-35%. The company started turning profits, has regained confidence in the Amazon platform, and has since moved into building out even more products on the platform.
