Challenge
The brand had already built a recognizable presence on Amazon, but their PPC campaigns were underperforming relative to the budget being spent. Click-through rates were inconsistent, conversion rates were below category benchmarks, and their product listings lacked the keyword depth needed to compete in a crowded marketplace. The gap between ad spend and actual revenue was widening, and without a structured approach to both paid and organic visibility, growth had stalled.
The core problem was not a lack of investment — it was a lack of alignment between keyword strategy, listing content, and campaign structure. Their existing campaigns had been set up reactively, without a clear framework for bid management, match type segmentation, or negative keyword filtering. At the same time, the product listings themselves were not optimized to convert the traffic the ads were driving.
Solution
We began with a comprehensive audit of the existing Amazon PPC campaigns, mapping out spend distribution, keyword performance, and ACOS across all active ad groups. This gave us a clear picture of where budget was being wasted and where there was untapped potential. From there, we conducted in-depth keyword research using a combination of Amazon-native data and third-party tools, identifying high-intent search terms that competitors were ranking for but this brand was not targeting.
With a refined keyword strategy in place, we restructured the campaigns — separating broad, phrase, and exact match types into dedicated ad groups, implementing aggressive negative keyword lists, and adjusting bids based on conversion data rather than guesswork. Simultaneously, we rewrote the product listings to integrate priority keywords naturally into titles, bullet points, and backend search terms, ensuring both discoverability and conversion alignment. Regular performance reporting kept every decision tied directly to measurable outcomes.
Results
Within the first 60 days, ACOS dropped significantly while total attributed sales increased. The restructured campaigns delivered more efficient spend, with top-performing keywords generating a higher return on ad spend than the previous setup had achieved in several months. Organic ranking improved across multiple priority keywords as listing optimization began to compound with paid visibility.
By the end of the engagement, the brand was ranking on the first page for several high-volume, category-relevant search terms — a position they had not held before. The listings themselves saw improved conversion rates, meaning the traffic being driven by PPC was far more likely to result in a purchase. The overall result was a leaner, more effective Amazon presence that delivered measurable ROI across both paid and organic channels.
The Challenge: Misaligned Spend and Missed Organic Opportunity
A brand with solid market recognition was seeing diminishing returns on its Amazon advertising. Despite consistent ad spend, their campaigns were not delivering the conversion rates or visibility their budget should have supported. The underlying issue was structural — campaigns had grown without clear segmentation, keyword coverage had gaps, and the product listings themselves were not built to convert the traffic being sent their way.
This is a challenge we encounter often. Strong brands can still underperform on Amazon when paid strategy and listing optimization are treated as separate concerns rather than a unified system.
Our Approach: Audit First, Then Rebuild With Precision
Helion360 began by auditing the full campaign architecture — reviewing ACOS, click-through rates, and keyword performance across every active ad group. That audit revealed predictable patterns: budget concentrated on broad terms with weak intent, no negative keyword strategy, and listing content that buried the most relevant search terms in places Amazon's algorithm depreciates.
We rebuilt the campaign structure from the ground up, segmenting match types into dedicated ad groups and applying data-driven bid adjustments. Keyword research pulled from both Amazon-native data and external tools gave us a target list that balanced search volume with commercial intent. We rewrote listing titles, bullet points, and backend fields to align with that keyword strategy — ensuring every listing could perform organically while the paid campaigns scaled.
What the Numbers Showed
Sixty days in, ACOS had dropped and attributed sales had climbed. The restructured campaigns were spending more efficiently, and organic rankings for priority keywords were moving upward as the listing changes took hold. Several high-volume search terms that the brand had not previously ranked for appeared on the first page of results.
Conversion rates improved alongside visibility — a sign that the listings were doing their job once shoppers arrived. The final result was a measurably stronger Amazon presence, with paid and organic channels reinforcing each other rather than operating in isolation.
