What an Amazon PPC audit covers
| Area | What gets checked | What you learn |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Account snapshot and true break-even | Spend, ad sales, ACoS, TACoS and organic share, against break-even ACoS from your real fees and landed cost | Whether your targets are right before anything else changes |
| 2. Campaign structure | How campaigns, ad groups and match types are split, and whether auto targeting types are separated | What is built wrong and how a controllable account should look |
| 3. Search-term waste | Customer search terms that spend with no sales, and converters not yet harvested into exact match | The exact queries to negate and to promote |
| 4. Keyword and ASIN opportunities | Feature, long-tail and competitor ASIN targets, plus branded defense | Profitable demand you are not capturing yet |
| 5. Bids, budgets and placements | Top of search vs rest of search vs product pages; budgets that run out early; stale bids | Where to move money to protect margin while growing sales |
| 6. 30-day action plan | Prioritized changes with KPI targets | What to do next, whether you run it or hand it off |
Most “bad ACoS” problems turn out to be the wrong break-even number. Try our Amazon TACoS calculator before the call.

Who an Amazon PPC audit is for
| Situation | Why an audit helps |
|---|---|
| TACoS is high or rising with no clear reason | Finds whether the cause is waste, structure, targets or something outside PPC |
| A previous agency underdelivered | Gives you an independent read before you hire again |
| You run PPC in-house and want a second opinion | Gives your team a prioritized list to work through |
| You are about to scale ad spend | Fixes leaks before more budget flows through them |
| Brand-new seller with no sales history | Not a fit yet; listings and reviews come first |

How to choose an Amazon PPC audit service: 5 questions
- Does it start from your break-even? If not, its targets are guesses.
- Will a senior person do it? Ask for the name.
- What is the deliverable: a presentation, a document, or a call only?
- How long does it take? A few days is normal for a real review.
- Will they tell you when the problem is not PPC? Listings, reviews and stock cause many “PPC problems”.
