  SEO, keyword research, optimization- these are some of the terms relevant for online content to rank high in search engines. But do you consider only Google while optimizing your content?    Well, let me tell you that Amazon SEO is equally important if you want to up your game of selling any products online!    If you go on Amazon, you will see that there is a search bar where customers or potential buyers do their searches. Now if you want your products to rank first in the search list and want to increase your sales, then you must be well aware of Amazon SEO procedure. Also, one thing to keep in mind is that Amazon is a buying platform; hence the working of Amazon SEO is a tad bit different from Google SEO.    Why Amazon ranking is better and crucial is because, in these past decades, the growth of Amazon is humungous. It has become one of the most trusted and biggest e-commerce sites. And obviously, as a seller you want your product to be listed on top of Amazon search...

A main issue that ecommerce sellers face is not knowing when and how many items to restock. In a nutshell, ecommerce businesses need to know the optimal amount to restock otherwise it puts them at risk of overstocking and understocking. We want to avoid these three scenarios because overstocking means having excess inventory sitting on warehouse shelves where the long-term storage fees will start racking up (especially in Amazon warehouses) to a substantial amount. The long-term storage fees can be around 20-30% of you inventory cost, another reason to void overstocking. Understocking should also be avoided because you will lose opportunity cost for not being able to sell if the item had otherwise been restocked to the optimal amount. The table here shows the inventory status of these 5 items. The items are sorted by their restock status with the items that need immediate restocks showing up first and the least urgency on the bottom of the list. Items that are out of stock will b...

This setting is available on your AutoPilot settings. A screenshot is show below. This setting is only available on Auto Campaigns and helps you migrate customer search terms to manual campaigns. The high performing customer search terms can be moved to a manual campaign with high budget and higher ACoS to help you increase sales. The low performing customer search terms can be moved to a different manual campaign with low budget and much lower ACoS to help you remove ad spend on unwanted customer search terms. These terms will also be added as negative exact on the AutoCampaign. While you can transfer the high performance and low performing keywords to the same manual campaign, its strongly recommended to keep them separate. We have new exciting features coming up this month to make you truly standout amon...

We had plenty of updates for March and almost all of them were suggestions by our customers. We strive to make you business a success and since we charge majorly for success we work tirelessly to ensure your success as that means we grow as well. Here are some quick updates 1 Time Machine: Now you can go faster or slower with AutoPilot velocity. Its highly recommended to always set it at Normal speed. However there might be situations where it pays to risk money to save time. In this case, set the AutoPilot to make faster updates which will risk money to find better performing products/campaigns/keywords faster. This is also useful for just launched products or campaigns which are taking longer to get the first sale. If your campaign is closer to your target ACOS and you are happy with the revenues, you can slow down AutoPilot to ensure that it doesn't make rapid drastic changes.   2.  Direct access to AutoPilot logs   Another great suggestion from one of our custom...

We are excited to share with you an upgrade to our AutoPilot algorithm. The new changes includes bonus points if your keyword has more than average conversion performance of your campaign and penalty points if the keyword is performing worse relative to other campaigns. This means that if a specific keyword has good conversion ratio in the last quarter and it is currently performing poorly, autopilot will be more patient and provide more time for it to recover.Conversely if a keyword has historically poor conversion and also the current conversion performance is poor, it will be double penalized.This effectively brings out the best keywords on top and removes the clutter of non-performing keywords. Remember that the more keywords you have, the longer AutoPilot will take to fully optimize your campaigns. Additionally there are bonus points if the keyword has generated more than average sales in the last quarter and penalty points if the keyword has generated subpar sales. Comb...

  Being able to start your own brand along with an international business was not something that was easily available to entrepreneurs in the past. Getting products designed and made, having them shipped, then finally marketed and sold used to be a very strenuous process. It can still be a lot of work.

This is all thanks to Fulfillment by Amazon (Amazon FBA). There are a few steps to take in order to go from 0 to having a product available to be sold on Amazon to millions of customers. Let’s explore those steps: Step 1 - Product research  This is actually the most important decision that you are going to make throughout this process.

For some sellers, putting their campaigns on AutoPilot will reduce their AdSpend and make their products profitable. However common side effects includes lowering of sales.Though this should be preferable to make lower sales but higher profit rather than selling more at a loss, some sellers would like to also increase their sales with AutoPilot Amazon PPC Automation.

CTR and CVR columns are available at Profile, Campaign, Group, Keyword and Targeting expression level. CTR is the percentage of people that look at your ad and click on it. CVR is the percentage of people that view your product and buy it.Your CTR and CVR rates depends on the category you are sell...

This is an important and critical step while setting up your auto-campaigns on Amazon Advertising console/ Amazon seller central. While creating sponsored products auto-campaigns ensure that you set your auto campaigns to target groups by selecting "Set bids by targeting group" See screenshot below. This ensures that you are not overpaying for placing your products on substitutes and complements both of which usually have lower conversions, higher click throughs and lower sales ultimately resulting in very high acos. Select "Set bids by targeting group" and then change the bids for lower performing group and set it to low bids. Unfortunately this highly optimal setting is neither the default option of Amazon and to top it off, it's well hidden. This used to be the default option in 2019-20 and now the default option is the same bid across the group which results in extra expenditure for displaying ads which won't deliver optimal results. This was a...
