Introduction

The Benchmarker will give you a clear picture of your Amazon PPC performance by comparing your performance objectives metrics (ACoS, CPC, click-through rate, and conversion rate) to your true competitors:

  • on Amazon,

  • in your sub-category,

  • and according to ad format (Sponsored Products or Sponsored Brands).


The Benchmarker report can highlight product-specific growth potential and show you how to make the most of the Perpetua software.


About the Benchmarks

The benchmarks used in the Benchmarker are based on an extensive internal study involving $2.5 billion in anonymized and aggregated Amazon PPC ad revenue across 170,000 products and 20,000 product categories.

To ensure accuracy, the data is carefully screened for statistical significance and biases. Instead of relying on averages that can be distorted by outliers, we use medians by percentile. This rigorous methodology makes our benchmarks the most accurate in the industry.

When you choose your category before integrating your account, it's specifically for your Sponsored Brands campaigns, as Sponsored Products categories are dynamically determined by your ASIN data.

If you need to change your selected category, you can request a new report with a different selection.

To ensure precise analysis, the Benchmarker includes only data for ASINs, campaigns, ad groups, or targets that have had at least one impression in the previous period.

We are confident that our benchmarks provide reliable and valuable insights for optimizing your Amazon PPC campaigns.
