In a recent PPC discussion with Destaney Wishon of BetterAMS and MAG VP of Marketing Kevin Sanderson, delved into the intricacies of these metrics, shedding light on their unique features, strengths, and limitations.Brand metrics emerged as a powerhouse of data, offering a holistic view of retail and advertising performance. Unlike the targeting tab, which provides conversion data at the keyword level, brand metrics go beyond individual keywords and present data at the category level. This broader scope allows advertisers to gauge their performance in relation to the entire category, providing valuable insights for benchmarking and strategic decision-making.One of the standout features of brand metrics is its ability to showcase a direct comparison to the category median. This invaluable tool enables advertisers to assess whether they are performing above or below the median, giving them a clear understanding of their market position. Additionally, brand metrics incorporate both advertising and organic data, providing a comprehensive perspective that goes beyond the targeting tab's scope.On the other hand, the targeting tab offers a more granular view, focusing on specific keywords and their conversion data. However, it is important to note that the targeting tab's efficacy is heavily reliant on the quality of keyword research. Advertisers emphasized that relying solely on the targeting tab for comparison with brand metrics could lead to misleading insights. Poor keyword targeting may result in underperforming conversion rates, which may not accurately reflect the brand's overall performance.Furthermore, the targeting tab lacks visibility into sponsored brand state, which further limits its comprehensive analysis. While it remains a valuable tool for optimizing Amazon advertising performance, the participants cautioned against directly comparing it to brand metrics, as the two metrics provide distinct sets of data.The discussion also touched upon the availability of third-party software that claims to offer more accurate benchmarking at the keyword level within a category. However, the consensus among the participants was that relying solely on such software could be risky. The Amazon API restricts access to certain data, making it challenging for third-party software to provide truly accurate insights. The participants recommended utilizing Amazon's own search query performance data, as it provides valuable information on brand share and performance at the search term level.00:00 Brand metrics vs Targeting Tab for Amazon Advertising Analysis01:22 Importance of brand metrics in providing a holistic view and comparison to category median.01:56 Limitations of the targeting tab in comparison to brand metrics.03:01 Lack of third-party software for accurate benchmarking at the keyword level within a category.03:24 Recommendation to start with the data provided by Amazon.

Destaney Wishon is the Co-founder and CEO of BetterAMS, an advertising services firm that helps brands increase their advertising sales on Amazon. She started at BetterAMS as an Account Executive, where she provided perspective on new industry standards for brands' eCommerce strategies. Destaney is passionate about providing in-depth, strategic recommendations on sponsored products, brands, and displays, and DSP. As an Amazon advertising thought leader, she has spoken in over 9,000 podcasts and events. In this episode… Amazon Advertising has become costly, and brands are struggling to allocate their budgets and optimize campaigns to drive conversions. So, what metrics should you consider when structuring your advertising campaigns to maximize return-on-ad-spend (ROAS)?  Amazon Ads expert Destaney Wishon advises against leveraging metrics like Amazon's new-to-brand and recommends analyzing search term reports instead. This metric provides accurate conversion and loyalty rates by enabling you to view and distinguish between branded and non-branded searches. Destaney also utilizes cost-per-click (CPC) and ROAS to assess and categorize each campaign.  In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant speaks with Destaney Wishon, Co-founder and CEO of BetterAMS, about Amazon Advertising campaigns. Destaney also discusses how brands should structure their advertising budgets, how to leverage external marketing campaigns to drive traffic to Amazon, and the common mistakes brands make when maximizing conversions.
