Key takeaways
ACOS fluctuations are normal due to changes in CPC (competitor bidding) or conversion rates (customer habits); monitor both to understand changes.
For a competitive niche with high CPC, evaluate repeat purchase rates and customer lifetime value (LTV) as high LTV can justify a higher ACOS.
Consider external traffic sources like TikTok to drive sales to your Amazon listing, especially if Amazon PPC is too expensive for your profit margins.
Prioritize low-bid, low-budget auto campaigns for keyword research and unique placements, profitability-focused campaigns optimized for ACOS/ROAS, and organic ranking campaigns for critical keywords.
When facing low impressions, consider broadening keyword match types (broad/phrase over auto), targeting long-tail keywords, or adjusting bids to stay competitive; avoid pausing campaigns if possible, lower bids instead.
