Challenges Faced​

The beauty brand faced troubles in reducing their ineffective ad spend that was eating their profits away

Key challenges included:

  • Unidentified Campaign goals
    The brand’s Amazon advertising efforts lacked clear goals and measurable targets for their Amazon PPC campaigns. This led to a scattered approach, inefficient spending, and made it challenging to evaluate the success of campaigns and optimize them effectively.

  • Ineffective Ad Bidding Strategy
    The brand’s ad bidding strategy was inefficient, with either overbidding on low-value keywords or underbidding on high-potential ones. This lack of a data-driven approach led to missed conversions and wasted ad spend.

  • Ineffective campaigns optimization
    The lack of clear campaign goals made it difficult to effectively optimize advertising campaigns. They were not leveraging data-driven insights or regularly adjusting campaigns based on performance metrics such as CTR, CVR, or CPA. Without clear systematic optimization, underperforming ads continued to run, wasting budget and reducing the overall effectiveness of the advertising spend.

  • SEO indexing and Optimization
    The brand’s product listings were not fully optimized for search engine visibility. Key elements such as product titles, etc. were not properly aligned with relevant search terms and customer intent. This resulted in low organic rankings, making it difficult for potential customers to discover the brand’s products through natural search.

  • Limited Keyword Usage
    The brand’s keyword strategy was restricted to a narrow set of terms, missing out on broader and more relevant search terms that potential customers might use. This limited the reach and effectiveness of their campaigns, not fully capturing the target audience’s search behaviour, leading to missed opportunities and ineffective ad spend.
  • Low Conversion Rate
    The brand was experiencing a low conversion rate, due to a 4.1-star average rating, which is not inherently negative, but often falls short in highly competitive markets like beauty, where consumers expect higher ratings. This perception gap can deter potential buyers.

  • High CPCs:
    The brand was struggling with high cost-per-click (CPC) rates across their advertising campaigns. This was due to a combination of factors, including intense competition for relevant keywords, broad targeting parameters, the use of less effective keyword match types and ineffective bid management. High CPCs were eating into their advertising budget quickly, leaving less room for research and optimization.

  • Poor Targeting:
    Ads were often displayed to users who were unlikely to be interested in their products, resulting in low engagement and wasted ad spend due to a lack of customer segmentation, reliance on broad keywords, and failure to leverage Amazon’s advanced targeting options.

  • Poor Campaigns Structure:
    The brand’s Amazon advertising campaigns lacked a clear structure. This resulted in campaigns with overlapping targeting, inconsistent bidding strategies, and poorly defined goals. This made it difficult to track performance, identify which campaigns were driving results, and optimize for better performance.

Plan of Action​

We created a step-by-step plan to fix the brand’s problems and get them back on track.

Our approach included:

  • Clear Campaign Goals:
    Established specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for each PPC campaign. This includes defining objectives such as increasing sales (conversion), achieving a target ROAS, or boosting brand organic visibility (ranking).

  • Advanced Bid Management Techniques:
    Used Amazon’s dynamic bidding strategies and applied bid modifiers based on performance metrics like conversion rates and sales velocity. Regularly reviewed and adjusted bids for optimal CPC and ROI.

  • Regular Campaign Optimization:
    Conducted weekly performance reviews and utilized Amazon’s reporting tools to refine targeting, pause underperforming ads, and allocate budget to high-performing segments. Implemented negative keyword strategies to eliminate wasteful spend.

  • SEO for Better Indexing and Visibility:
    Optimized product listings with high-value keywords in titles, bullet points, and descriptions. Utilized Amazon’s backend search term fields to capture additional relevant queries.

  • Expanded & Refined Keyword Usage:
    Conducted in-depth keyword research to identify a broader range of relevant search terms. Used different match types and campaigns to capture diverse search intents. 

  • Enhance Product Ratings and Reviews:
    Implemented and integrated a tool with Amazon to send automated review requests to improve product review ratings and scores. Addressed customer feedback to improve product quality and customer satisfaction.

  • Optimized Product Detail Pages (PDP):
    Improved PDPs with high-quality images, compelling titles and product descriptions. Highlighted unique selling propositions (USPs) and addressed common customer concerns.

  • Improved Keyword Targeting Precision:
    Used more exact match and phrase match keywords to refine targeting, and regularly updated the negative keyword list to exclude irrelevant traffic.

  • Leveraged Amazon Audience Insights:
    Utilized Amazon’s audience insights and customer demographics tools to refine targeting and better align ads with the preferences and behaviors of the target audience.

  • Redesigned Campaign Structure:
    Restructure campaigns into a clear hierarchy based on SMART objectives i.e. ranking, conversion, research and awareness. Implemented a structured smart approach to keywords, match type, bid allocation, placements, bidding strategy and budgeting.

  • Avoided Overlapping and Competing Ads:
    Reviewed and consolidated overlapping campaigns to avoid internal competition, ensuring distinct targeting criteria for each campaign to focus on specific goals without overlapping.
