How to read this data

What is a good ACOS?

ACOS isn't 'good' or 'bad' on its own; judge it against your margin. 25% can be profitable on a high-margin product while 15% loses money on a low-margin one. Generally below 20% is good and 12% or lower is excellent.

What is a good TACOS?

TACOS is total ad spend over total sales and reflects organic strength. If TACOS falls while total sales rise, your brand is growing organically. Below 10% is healthy, below 6% is excellent.

How to read CTR and conversion?

Low CTR usually points to the main image, price or title; low conversion points to listing quality (A+ content, reviews, price). Optimize CTR first, then conversion.

Why does it vary by category?

Competition, average price and buyer intent vary by category. So an 'excellent' ACOS in one category can be 'average' in another.

Who is this for?

  • Brands and sellers on Amazon
  • Teams wanting efficient ad spend
  • Those planning to enter a new category/market
  • Anyone measuring agency or consultant performance

How to improve

Lowering ACOS profitably

Discover terms with auto campaigns, move converters to manual and cut waste with negative keywords. Instead of blindly cutting bids, improve relevance and listing quality.

Listing and conversion

Main image, title, A+ content and reviews drive conversion directly. When ad traffic hits a weak listing, ACOS inevitably rises.

Organic momentum (TACOS)

Use ads not only for sales but to feed organic ranking. As ranking rises, TACOS falls and profitability improves.

Common mistakes

  • Judging ACOS without margin context
  • Not using negative keywords
  • Sending ad traffic to a weak listing
  • Panicking at high launch ACOS and cutting budget
  • Watching only ACOS and ignoring TACOS

Frequently asked questions

Why is TACOS more important than ACOS?

TACOS shows ad contribution to organic sales; as it falls, organic strength rises.

Is high ACOS normal at launch?

Yes; temporarily high ACOS at launch is expected for learning and visibility.
