Your Amazon listing is getting 50,000 impressions but only 250 clicks. Or perhaps your ads are generating hundreds of clicks every week, but orders remain disappointing. These are two very different problems, and treating them the same can waste your advertising budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, should you optimize Amazon CTR or conversion rate first? Start with the metric showing the bigger funnel problem. If impressions are high but clicks are weak, prioritize Amazon CTR. If clicks are healthy but purchases are weak, prioritize conversion rate. Once both are performing reasonably well, move your attention to CPC, ACoS, ROAS, TACoS and profit. Amazon Ads itself positions CTR as a consideration-stage metric and conversion rate as a purchase-stage metric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
