The #1 Thing Most Brands Overlook in Their Amazon Ad Strategy

Amazon holds 37.8% of ecommerce market share in the U.S. So, it’s no surprise brands are eager to be present and optimized on the platform.

Organic and Paid Rank Need to Work Together

It’s easy to see why many brands tend to hyperfocus on paid search rankings in their Amazon ad strategy. After all, you can’t create an organic ad, and paid rankings show up before the organic spots in Amazon search results.But the holy grail of Amazon advertising success is being able to reduce your ad spend over time by using paid ads to boost your organic listing. The process of reducing your ad spend over time is relatively simple to understand:

1. Learn which keywords are driving traffic to your brand.
2. Find out who you’re competing with on those keywords.
3. Determine which keywords are your lowest-hanging fruit.
4. Direct your ad spend toward winning that traffic.
5. Gain winning momentum through conquesting those easier-to-win keywords, working your way up on the search rankings “ladder”.
6. Watch your organic ranking rise as Amazon recognizes your listing’s success from your paid efforts.
7. When you win the top organic spot, ease off on ad spend.

Easier said than done, right? And yet, at Pattern, we’ve proven the success of this model over and over. When you have the data and technology to get you the right information about your listings, you can strategically conquest your way to the top organic search slots.
