No pitch. A clear look at where Amazon can move the business.
Why Amazon Now

Amazon completes the growth picture.

For a DTC brand, Amazon is not a side channel. It is where a huge share of discovery and buying now happens, and ignoring it leaves growth, and brand control, on the table. Run well, Amazon compounds with your own site and your paid media instead of competing with them, rounding out the full-funnel experience that actually grows the brand.

40%+

Of US ecommerce

Amazon now drives more than 40% of US online sales. For most brands, that is too much of the market to sit out.

~50%

Of product searches

About half of US product searches start on Amazon, not Google. It is where shoppers go to decide what to buy.

Compounds

With your site and ads

Amazon is not either/or. Run well, it reinforces your DTC store and paid media instead of cannibalizing them.

Our Point of View

What Amazon PPC means to Strat88.

Amazon advertising should be accountable to the business, not just the ad console. We manage campaigns to the numbers that decide whether growth is actually profitable, studying how spend contributes to new customers, contribution margin, and organic rank, not just clicks and impressions.

That is why we do not optimize to ACoS alone. We manage toward TACoS, profitability, and total revenue growth, so paid spend compounds into stronger organic visibility instead of quietly eating your margin.

Track Record

The same growth discipline, now on Amazon.

Amazon is a new service line for Strat88, held to standards that are not new. For years we have driven profitable, efficient growth for ecommerce brands, measuring every channel on the business, not the platform dashboard. That is the discipline we bring to your Amazon account.

How We Work

A disciplined process, built around your Amazon P&L.

Every engagement starts with the economics behind the account: margins, category competition, and where advertising is leaving profit on the table. From there we build a clear plan, execute with discipline, and keep refining around efficiency and rank.

01

Assess

We audit your campaign structure, keyword coverage, search-term reports, and category competition to find wasted spend and the keywords worth owning.

02

Strategize

We turn those findings into a focused PPC plan built around your margins, priority products, and profitable growth targets.

03

Activate

We build and launch campaigns across Sponsored Products, Brands, and Display, with clean structure and deliberate targeting.

04

Optimize

We manage bids, budgets, and negatives to TACoS and contribution margin, feeding paid performance back into organic rank.

AI, Applied

AI makes Amazon PPC faster and sharper.

We use AI to monitor and improve campaigns faster, not to run them on autopilot. Connected to your advertising data, it surfaces wasted spend, bid opportunities, and search-term trends in near real time, while the strategy calls stay with a senior human.

  • Live account analysis AI reading your campaign and search-term data to flag waste, bid opportunities, and ranking shifts as they happen.
  • Keyword and bid optimization Spot new converting search terms and adjust bids faster to protect efficiency.
  • Anomaly detection Catch overspend, sudden ACoS spikes, and campaigns going off the rails before they cost you.
Before You Start

What to know before getting started.

01 What types of businesses is this service best suited for?
Essentially any brand selling on Amazon. Paid placement is now part of the cost of visibility there, so whether you are already advertising and want more profitable campaigns, launching new products, or simply not sure your current spend is working hard enough, there is room to run PPC more efficiently.
02 Which Amazon ad types do you manage?
Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display. The right mix depends on your catalog, margins, category competition, and whether the priority is defending share, launching products, or scaling profitably.
03 How do you measure success?
We look beyond ACoS to the metrics that reflect real business health: TACoS, contribution margin, organic rank, and total revenue growth. The goal is profitable, compounding growth, not just a lower cost per click.
04 Do we need Brand Registry?
Brand Registry unlocks Sponsored Brands and other tools that matter for a complete PPC strategy, so we recommend it. If you are not enrolled yet, we can point you in the right direction.
05 Does advertising work without a strong listing?
Only up to a point. Ads drive the click, but the listing wins the sale. We keep advertising tightly aligned with listing quality, and offer Amazon listing optimization as a companion service when the page needs work.
06 What does reporting and communication look like?
Clients receive clear reporting, regular performance reviews, and ongoing visibility into priorities and next steps. Cadence depends on the size of the business, ad budget, and pace of learning.

Services designed to grow the whole business.

From Amazon advertising and listing optimization to paid media, CRO, email, and growth consulting, we build connected strategies that improve acquisition, strengthen retention, and support more profitable decisions as you scale.
