About Fetcher
“Before Fetcher, I was using spreadsheets and didn’t have a solid grasp on my Amazon business
financials. It was tough with Seller Central and too time consuming to figure out myself. Fetcher is
now the first and last stop in my daily routine. I can get all the numbers I need instantly.”

Amazon Advertising
Goal #1: Volume + Speed
● You can grow volume quickly by
maximizing exposure &
impressions through aggressive
bidding, but you're going to
sacrifice efficiency (higher ACOS).
Amazon Advertising
Goal #2: Efficiency + Speed
● You can increase efficiency
(reduce ACOS) quickly by cutting
out wasted spend which entails
cutting bids on inefficient
keywords & pausing poor
keywords altogether.
Amazon Advertising
Goal #3: Volume + Efficiency
● You can increase both volume &
efficiency in any advertising
campaign, but not on day 1.
Amazon Advertising - Keyword Research
Amazon Search Term Report: An Advertiser’s Best Friend
Amazon Advertising - Keyword Research
Using Reviews for Keyword Research
● Amazon’s algo puts the most relevant reviews at the top.
● By targeting the keywords in the reviews and using them in your own listing, you will increase your product’s change of being discovered.
● Additionally, the reviews will help conversions for your product; if they see the words they used to find your product, the customer is more likely to purchase.
Amazon Advertising - Keyword Tracking
● Track your keyword data and
optimize accordingly
● Don’t be afraid to cut Non-
performing keywords
● Double down on what works
● Use research data to track new
keywords
● Track your products over a period of
time (Not just a week or two)

goes up.● When ranking goes up, sales go
up.
