ACOS

Advertising Cost of Sale

ACOS (Advertising Cost of Sale) is the ratio of ad spend to ad-attributed przychody on Amazon, expressed as a percentage. It measures the efficiency of your PPC campaigns by showing how much you spend on advertising for every dollar of sales generated through ads.

Why ACOS Matters for Amazon Sellers

ACOS directly determines whether your Amazon advertising is profitable. A lower ACOS means more efficient advertising spend, while a high ACOS can erode margins quickly. Understanding your target ACOS relative to your profit margin is essential for sustainable growth.

What is a good ACOS on Amazon?+
