For Amazon sellers, outsourcing PPC is a necessity as your business scales, but total delegation without oversight is a recipe for disaster. This episode provides a framework for brand owners to effectively delegate Amazon PPC by understanding the crucial metrics and communication strategies needed to hold agencies accountable and ensure continuous optimization, even if you're not a PPC expert yourself.
Key takeaways
Do not rely solely on automated Amazon PPC software; most provide inconsistent results and lack the nuanced optimization required for high performance.
Before delegating Amazon PPC, brand owners must understand core concepts and key metrics to effectively vet agencies, audit performance, and provide strategic direction.
Implement a robust communication and reporting framework with your PPC agency, demanding regular updates on key KPIs and campaign adjustments to ensure active management.
Actively audit your Amazon ad account, looking for red flags like a lack of changes over extended periods, which indicates an underperforming or negligent agency.
Prioritize ROI, ROAS, and ACOS as the primary KPIs to track, ensuring your outsourced PPC efforts are directly contributing to profitable growth.
Most "automatic" Amazon Ads software is hit or miss, and learning to do it yourself is (lets be honest) BORING. But sellers can't just ignore the most powerful ads platform to sell more products, right? Brand owners should understand Amazon Ads well enough to hire someone, and know if they're doing a good job. Otherwise, your entire revenue is left in the hands of your ads manager. I've literally audited an ads account managed by another agency that had ZERO changes in more than a year! In this episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast, I grill Mina Elias about the top things non-technical Amazon sellers must know in order to effectively outsource their ads.
