  • How do I lower my ACoS?
    To decrease ACoS, ad spend must decrease against fixed ad revenue or ad revenue must increase against fixed ad spend. Ad spend is a function of the number of clicks times the average cost per click. Ad revenue is a function of the number of clicks times the average conversion rate times the average order value. Lowering ACoS comes from either an increase in conversion rate, or a decrease in cost per click. To decrease cost per click, you must either lower your keyword bids or add more longtail, lower-cost keywords. To increase conversion rate, you should optimize your listings by improving product titles, images, and bullets, adding product video and A+ Content, and soliciting product reviews and customer Q&As.
