Creating ads: Amazon creates your ad copy based on your listing
Match Types Explained
Broad MatchYour ad can be triggered by the widest range of search terms.
This usually means higher visibility and sessions, but also usually costs more.
Use this when you are mining for keyword to add to more defined phrase or exact match adgroups
Phrase MatchYour phrase must be in the shoppers search term, but words can be added in front of, or after your keyword search term.
This allows you to balance your budget whilst still capturing a wider range of search terms.
Use this when you are optimizing campaigns but still want search data
Exact MatchThe shopper must search for your exact phrase (including plurals, misspellings etc.) to trigger your ad.
This is the most controlled and cost effective way to target keywords using PPC
Use this when you find keywords that convert really well to optimize for a better ROI

Advertising Cost Of Sale
ACoS is how we determine our return on investment.
It is calculated by dividing your PPC costs by the sales generated from your PPC.
If you spend £10 on PPC, and get £100 of sales attributed to those ads, the ACoS would be 10%.
Find out where you “break even”

Retail price £26.99, subtotal (less VAT £4.50) = £22.49Landed Cost of Goods: £8.45FBA fees: £6.14Breakeven ACoS at this price = 35%
Calculate your ACoS at different prices

retail prices so that you have a “break even guide”
◍ Use our ACoS calculator (in the homework coming up)
