Amazon PPC Management

Sponsored Products, Brands, Display and DSP priced against break-even ACOS — the number your accountant would recognise.

The problem

What actually goes wrong

Most accounts optimise to a target ACOS that was never derived from anything. If you do not know the ACOS you can afford on a given SKU, every bid decision is a guess with a budget attached.

Why this matters. Break-even ACOS is a calculation, not an opinion. Once it exists, bidding becomes arithmetic.

What we manage

What SMEMinds does

  • Campaign architecture that isolates and scales winners
  • Break-even ACOS derived per SKU from real landed cost and fees
  • Keyword harvesting, negation and search-term hygiene
  • Placement, bid and dayparting strategy
  • Sponsored Brands, Display and DSP where the funnel justifies them
  • Weekly spend review against contribution, not just ACOS

Who this is for

Sellers spending enough on ads that a two-point efficiency gain pays for the management fee several times over.


Deliverables

What each step involves
Business outcomes

What changes.

Stated as changes in how the business runs, because those are the ones we control.

01

Less wasted spend

Search terms that never convert stop being funded.

02

Profitable scale

Budget added only where the margin supports it.

03

Clear reporting

What each campaign contributed after fees and returns.

04

Defensible targets

An ACOS goal with a derivation behind it.

Every recommendation shows its arithmetic.

Break-even ACOS derived per SKU from its own contribution margin, so a bid ceiling is a calculation rather than a habit.

FAQ

Questions we get about this service

Yes — research, harvesting from real search-term reports, and continuous negation. Keyword lists are a living asset, not a one-time deliverable.

Pricing varies with campaign scale and complexity, monthly ad spend and the level of strategic involvement. We use flexible, transparent models aligned to your growth stage.

Usually yes, because most of the early gain comes from stopping spend that was never going to convert, then moving that budget behind listings that already do.
