Amazon Sponsored Product Ad Placements

Sponsored Product Ads are pay-per-click (PPC) ads that promote individual product listings on Amazon. These ads help your products get more visibility when customers search for specific keywords.

Main placements for Sponsored Product ads:

  1. Top of Search
  2. Rest of Search
  3. Product Detail Pages

How to Optimize Sponsored Product Ad Placements

You can control where your ads appear by adjusting your bids. Use the "Adjust bids by placement" option to bid higher for premium spots like the top of search results.

For example, if you bid ₹100 for a keyword and want your ad at the top of search results, you can set a placement multiplier of 500%. This tells Amazon to increase your bid to ₹600 to secure that top spot.

Amazon Sponsored Brand Ad Placements

Sponsored Brand ads help increase brand awareness. They usually include your brand logo, a custom headline, and a few products. These ads come in three formats:

  1. Product Collection
  2. Store Spotlight
  3. Video Ads

Amazon Sponsored Display Ad Placements

Sponsored Display Ads are great for targeting and retargeting customers both on and off Amazon. They offer several targeting options:

  1. Contextual Targeting
  2. Audience Interests
  3. Views Remarketing

Which Advertising Option Is Best For Your Business?

Different ad types serve different purposes:

  • Sponsored Products: Best for direct sales with a higher conversion rate.
