## Understanding ACoS vs TACoS

ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sale) measures ad efficiency. TACoS (Total Advertising Cost of Sale) shows how ads impact overall revenue — the metric that truly matters.

## Campaign Structure Best Practices

Separate campaigns by match type, product category, and funnel stage. Use auto campaigns for discovery and manual campaigns for optimization.

## Keyword Harvesting

Regularly transfer winning search terms from auto campaigns to manual campaigns with optimized bids. This is the single most impactful PPC practice.

## Negative Keyword Strategy

Create shared negative keyword lists for irrelevant terms. Review search term reports at least weekly for high-spend, low-conversion terms.

## Bid Optimization

Adjust bids based on placement data. Top of search placements often have higher conversion rates and justify higher bids.

## Sponsored Brands & Display

Once Sponsored Products are profitable, expand to Sponsored Brands for branded search dominance and Sponsored Display for retargeting.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What's a good ACoS target?

It depends on your margins. Most successful sellers target 15-25% ACoS for established products and accept 30-50% during launch phases.

### How often should I optimize PPC?

Daily bid adjustments, weekly search term reviews, and monthly campaign structure reviews is our recommended cadence.
