Stop Overpaying for Amazon Clicks: Win More Sales with Smarter Product Targeting

But here’s the thing: Product Targeting is one of the biggest missed opportunities inside Amazon Sponsored Ads.

Why? Because Search placements come with the highest CPCs on Amazon.

What if you could avoid those high CPCs, and still reach users who searched for your keywords… but clicked on a competitor’s product?

That’s exactly where Product Targeting on competitor ASINs comes in. Let’s break it down:

Why use ASIN Exact & Expanded Targeting across SP, SB, and SD (Contextual in SD)?

Lower CPCs than search placements

Same high relevance as keyword targeting

Defend your product detail pages from competitors

Micro-target users based on price, reviews, and ratings

ASIN Expanded = uncover even more high-potential competitor ASINs

Amazon users naturally explore more before making a decision

Free impressions — you only pay when they click

How to Find ASINs to Target

Use Top Search Term report to discover top converting ASINs

Target bestsellers ranking high in your category

Target ASINs running ads on your keyword campaigns

Winning Strategies for Product Targeting

Create separate campaigns for lower-priced ASINs

Don’t combine ASIN Exact & Expanded in the same campaign

Separate brand vs competitor ASINs

Group similar category products in a single ad group

Keep campaigns limited to one ad group

Regularly negate underperforming ASINs

Harvest new ASINs from the Search Term report

Monitor your brand/competitor targeting split

Target deal ASINs vs non-deal competitors

Don’t generalize Product Targeting. Explore. Segment. Test. That’s where the wins are.
