Understanding Amazon Ads metrics is essential for sellers who want to scale their store efficiently. Metrics like CTR, CPC, ACoS, ROAS, and TACoS reveal which campaigns are profitable, where spend is optimized, and how ads impact both paid and organic sales. We’ll break down core and advanced metrics, show how to measure them, and explain how they affect sales performance.

Core Performance Metrics
- CTR (Click-Through Rate): Measures engagement. High CTR means your targeting and creatives resonate.
- CPC (Cost Per Click): Helps balance budget efficiency. Low CPC is good but may indicate low competition.
- Impressions: Shows visibility; must be combined with CTR and conversions to evaluate effectiveness.
Conversion-Focused Metrics
- ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sales): Measures ad spend vs revenue.
- TACoS (Total ACoS): Measures ad spend against total sales including organic.

Tip: Track these weekly to balance profitability with growth and avoid overspending.
