What is the Benchmarker

The Benchmarker is a free, ground-breaking insights tool that allows advertisers to understand their Amazon PPC performance in context. The Benchmarker allows you to analyze and compare your ad performance on country, category, ad-format, and individual-product levels. The newest version of the tool includes ~20,000 Amazon product subcategories and an ASIN performance deep-dive for your top 100 products! By benchmarking, you can identify strengths and weaknesses relative to competitors and understand what you should focus on improving. In this complete guide, we will explain each section of the Benchmarker report so that you will be able to interpret and act on its data-driven insights.

Looking for more Amazon PPC background data and insights

Whether you’re interested in a high-level analysis of Amazon Advertising, a detailed look at recent marketplace trends, or a deep dive into the nuances of specific product categories, our 2022 Amazon Advertising Benchmark Report can help you gain insight into the Amazon PPC landscape. The report is based on a comprehensive analysis of over 2 million Sponsored Products campaigns and you can download it for free today. Get the Insights

The Summary Section

At the very top of your report you will find the following report parameters: the month the marketplace your overall scorelinks to share your performance certificate on social media. The month of performance data that has been analyzed in the report is shown in the bottom left corner of the summary section. The Benchmarker automatically analyzes your last month’s performance every 30 days. So, for example, if you receive your report on April 15, it will contain an analysis based on data from the entire month of March. Because you receive your report every 30 days, your next report will be generated on May 15, and it will contain an analysis based on data from the whole month of April. By clicking on the arrow buttons in the bottom left-hand corner of the summary section, you can navigate to older reports to compare your performance over time. Tip: if you’d like to change the date that you receive your report, simply request a new Benchmarker [Beta] report for the same marketplace and category on your preferred day—this will override your original request. The flag indicates the marketplace that the Benchmarker [Beta] is reporting on. If you would like a report for a different marketplace, you will need to request a new Benchmarker report. On the far-right side of the summary section is a badge that grades your overall performance versus your competitors, the badge levels are as follows: platinum: top 10%: high growth potentialgold: top 20%: high growth potentialsilver: top 50%: very high growth potentialbronze: bottom 50%: very high growth potential. If you are running more than one type of ad, each ad type makes up a proportional percentage of your score. So if 50% of your ad spend goes to Sponsored Products and 50% goes to Sponsored Brands, then each ad type will account for half of your overall score. For example, if your Sponsored Products performance is in the top 20% and your Sponsored Brands performance is in the top 40%—and both have a 50% investment share—then your overall account score will be in the top 30%. By clicking on the links beneath the “Share Certificate” section of your performance badge, you can generate a PPC performance certificate and share it with your personal and professional networks. To improve your score, implement the steps outlined in the Product Analysis section. The Benchmarker – Executive Summary Busy?

Performance Funnel and Return on Investment

The next section provides a top-to-bottom review of your account performance, allowing you to easily visualize all of the metrics that go into your most important key performance indicators (KPIs). The right side of the graphic displays your return on investment. Tip: click the “SHOW BENCHMARKS” / “MONTH-OVER-MONTH CHANGES” button to compare your KPIs to benchmarks or your previous month’s performance in the summary box and performance funnel. Please find the explanations of the metrics in the following table. MetricDefinitionWhy It’s ImportantImpressionsThe number of people who see your ads.As long as your targeting is optimized, the more people to see your ad, the higher the chances that someone will buy your product.CTR (click-through rate)The percentage of people who clicked on your ad out of everyone who saw it (calculated as clicks ÷ impressions).A low CTR normally indicates either poor targeting (not relevant to the shopper) or poor image/video assets (i.e. bad quality).ClicksThe number of people who clicked on your ad.Clicks represent customer interest.CVR (conversion rate)The percentage of people who made a purchase out of everyone who clicked on your ad and visited your product detail page (calculated as orders ÷ clicks).This is an indicator of how persuasive your offer and product page are.OrdersThe number of times that a shopper has purchased your product.Orders create revenue.CPC (cost per click)What you pay per click—the true price of the ad auction. Your CPC depends on your bid, the competition, and your quality-score. Because the bid auctions are second-price auctions, where you pay $0.01 above what would be required to beat the bidder behind you, your CPC will always be lower than the actual bid.Your overall CPC will determine if your ads are profitable.AOV (average order value)The average revenue per order.The higher the average order value, the greater your overall revenue.Ad costsThe total ad investment (calculated as CPC × number of clicks).If your ad costs are too high compared to the revenue you generate, your ad campaigns will not be profitable.Ad salesThe total revenue driven by ads (calculated as orders × AOV).The absolute volume of revenue that is generated via ads.ACoS (advertising cost of sales)The percentage of every ad-generated revenue dollar that is spent on advertising. ACoS is calculated as ad costs ÷ ad sales.ACoS is an indicator of the efficiency of your Amazon advertising campaigns. The Benchmarker – Executive Summary Busy?

The Impact Driver Analysis Section br

The Impact Driver Analysis section gives Benchmarker users a snapshot of the products with the highest impact (positive and negative) on the KPIs that matter most, such as ad sales, ACoS, CPC, etc. With the Impact Driver Analysis, Sellics customers can quickly identify top gainers and losers in their product category month-over-month. This analysis combined with quick decision-making is sure to be a recipe for advertising success.
The Impact Driver Analysis will answer: Why did my Ad Sales increase/decrease?Which products caused a drop/increase in ACoS, ad sales?Where did my CPC increase over last month? The new “Impact Driver Analysis” enables you to see at a glance which products are contributing (positively and negatively) the most to your month-over-month performance changes for all their main KPIs incl. ad spend and ACoS. The feature is a new section in the Benchmarker. You can view 3 types of charts, namely WaterfallTreemapProduct table which will all analyze the “impact drivers”. These charts give quick intel on products that are the top winners and losers for each KPI.

In general, the Impact Driver Analysis section can help you identify top gainers and losers across all products.

The Waterfall Chart

The waterfall chart is designed to visualize the top 5 gainers and top 5 losers in a single chart. It will automatically pick the top 5 gainers and losers each.
Select the impact metrics you want to track. We recommend ACoS or ad sales for starters. What does ‘Others’ mean in the waterfall or treemap chart?


All edge cases, outliers, new products added, or effectively smaller impact products are currently added in the “other”.
It includes all factors which cannot be connected to a dedicated product Month-over-Month, mostly New products, Removed products, Products with 0’s in KPIs (e.g. 0 orders, no relative value live CvR available)

Additionally: The waterfall chart weights changed by Ad Spend, which is only an approximation for a waterfall chart for relative values. There will normally be a gap. The size of the bars of the products among each other with regards to impact is correct.


The Treemap
See in the treemap view which products had a positive (gainer) or negative (loser) impact for the selected KPI in the last month.

Seek out the largest rectangular values (or the largest collected group of rectangles) and look out for significant color variations.

The Table view
See in the table view which products had a positive (gainer) or negative (loser) impact for the selected KPI in the last month. The impact number represents the contribution the product had to the overall change you observed for this KPI in the last month.
How are gainers and losers defined? Any product with a positive customer outcome is a gainer. Any product with a negative customer outcome is a loser. Logic is similar across ACoS, CTR, Ad Sales, Ad spend, CPC. The Impact Driver Analysis is a premium feature of the Benchmarker and is available only to Sellics customers with Advisor or Managed Services plans. Get access inside Sellics or by signing up here. If you’re not a Sellics customer (yet), use the book a call button in the free version of the Benchmarker report to unlock your access to the Impact Driver Analysis insights over the phone. Important: because the Impact Driver Analysis requires month-over-month data, it is only available after your second Benchmarker report. Currently, the Impact Driver Analysis analyzes Sponsored Products.

The Performance Matrix Section

The Performance Matrix provides a visualization of your top 10 products by ad spend, giving you quick insight into which products performed well last month and which have room for improvement. The Performance Matrix plots ad sales variation against ad spend variation, in both cases this is expressed as a percentage compared with the previous month. As the matrix is divided into quadrants, you can instantly see which products have increasing or decreasing ad sales and ad spend. For example, any products in the top right quadrant have both increasing ad sales and increasing ad spend. In our example, this is products 1 (Door Mat) and 3 (Round Stool). The color-coding of the Performance Matrix’ sections is based on advertising profitability: Dark green: Ad sales have increased while ad spend has dropped—your ads are becoming much more profitable.Light green: Ad sales and ad spend have both either decreased or increased, but the trend for ad sales is better—your ads are becoming slightly more profitable.Light red: Ad sales and ad spend have both either decreased or increased, but the trend for ad sales is worse—your ads are becoming slightly less profitable.Dark red: Ad sales have decreased while ad spend has gone up—your ads are becoming much less profitable. In addition to the quick overview, the Performance Matrix also lets you analyze a specific product more closely, either by clicking the plus symbol in the left-hand list, or by hovering over the bubble for a detailed tooltip. Expanding the information in the list shows you the precise numbers (and variation) for ad spend and ad sales, and shows you how these have impacted that product’s ACoS. The tooltip goes a step further by including the metrics available in the other sections of the Benchmarker: conversion rate, cost per click, click-through rate and average order value. This helps you see in detail what has driven the changes in that product’s performance. In the example above, where we have expanded the performance information for the “Round Stool”, we can draw the following conclusions: The improved ad sales (+26.3%) have been helped by the 6.1% increase in conversion rate.The rise in ad spend (+43.8%) is largely driven by the 20.3% increase in CPC.As ad spend has risen more than ad sales, the ACoS has also gone up (by 13.7%), which is why this product appears in the light red section of the Performance Matrix. You can then see how these findings align with your strategy. If you have made optimizations to your product listing to improve your conversion rate, and bid more aggressively to drive ad sales, then the Performance Matrix shows you that this strategy has proven effective. Note: Because the Performance Matrix shows month-over-month trends, it is only available from your second Benchmarker report onwards. Currently, the Performance Matrix analyzes Sponsored Products.

The Product Analysis Section

In the Product Analysis section, you can easily identify specific products whose ads are in need of optimization and then take steps to improve the KPIs for those products. Next to each KPI there is a circle that is either green, yellow, or red. These colors indicate where you stand in the performance distribution relative to your peers: green: you are in the top 40% = you’re doing wellyellow: you are in the middle 20% = there’s room for improvementred: you are in the bottom 40% = you’re doing poorly. When you hover over any of the KPI scores, a bar chart displaying the performance distribution with the same color coding will display. This allows you to see in more detail how much room for improvement there is and what are reasonable target values for your optimization efforts. The number beneath the yellow section of the bar chart is the median. In the example above, the subcategory median conversion rate (CVR) is 5.58%. That means 50% of the advertisers in this subcategory have a higher conversion rate and 50% have a lower conversion rate. Ideally, you should at least achieve this target value by optimizing your product and ads.The figure on the left end of the distribution (in this example 2.8%) means 20% of the advertisers in this subcategory have a lower value than 2.8%.Similarly, the figure on the right (in this example 11.6%) means 20% have a higher value than 11.6%.The conversion rate (CVR) for this product’s ads is 3.61%, meaning that it is in the lowest 40% of sellers in this subcategory—there is a lot of room for improvement.

Account Structure

This section of the Benchmarker [Beta] report helps you understand how your account structure compares to the best practices.

Ad groups Campaign

Your score is the average number of ad groups you have in your campaigns. The ad group must have at least 1 impression to count. Having fewer ad groups per campaign will give you more control over your budget, as the budget is set on campaign level. This will avoid cases where a subset of your ad groups is using most of your budget until it runs out, leaving other ad groups with few impressions. Having control makes your account quicker and easier to optimize. For detailed blueprints on how to structure your campaigns, check out our comprehensive guides: Sponsored Products blueprint (beginner)Sponsored Products blueprint (advanced)Sponsored Brands blueprintSponsored Display blueprint.

Advertised ASINs Ad Group

Your score is the average number of advertised ASINs you have in every ad group. Only ASINs with at least one impression are counted. For all of the ASINs that are grouped together, the following characteristics should be very similar: search intent (keywords)profit margins. If the grouped ASINs do not have these characteristics in common, it will be difficult to optimize targets and bids or even to interpret results. This in turn will make it difficult to design a high-performing campaign. Your ability to group advertised ASINs will depend on the size and diversity of your product portfolio. For most advertisers, 1 to 10 ASINs per ad group will be ideal.

Keywords Ad group

This score shows the average number of keywords per ad group in your account (other targets, e.g. ASINs, are not included currently). Only unique keywords with at least 1 impression per ad group are included. Advertisers with less than 5 keywords usually aren’t bidding on all of the keywords that could help them reach potential customers. Advertisers who have more than 20 targets lose the ability to quickly and easily optimize their target bids because clicks are widely distributed. For advertisers with less than 10k/month in ad spend, we recommend between 5 and 20 targets per ad group. For advertisers with more than 10k/month in ad spend 20+ targets can work well. Pro tip: With the best-practice rule sets in Sellics Advertising, you can automate target harvesting and optimization, negative keyword migration, and bid optimization.

Ad Formats

This section allows you to understand how much budget you are investing in different Amazon Sponsored Ads formats compared to other sellers in your category. If your ad portfolio is less diverse than other sellers in your marketplace and category, it can make sense to diversify and add different ad formats to your portfolio – especially, if your campaigns are performing well and you’re aiming to drive additional revenue. In case you missed it, we’ve written a series of guides to Amazon Sponsored Ads in 2021: Sponsored Products (Beginner)Sponsored Products (Advanced)Sponsored Brands Sponsored Display.

Ad Format Deep Dive

In this section, you’ll receive a score for your overall performance in your product category. The scores range from one star to five stars: 1 star = in bottom 20% 2 stars = in bottom 40 %3 stars = between 40%-60%4 stars = in top 40%5 stars = in top 20%. Click on the “+” button next to each KPI grade to do a deep dive. A section will appear that shows your account’s score compared to the category benchmark. Beneath that, you will see an ASIN-level analysis of your products. The column “Range” illustrates how each ASIN compares to other ASINs in the same subcategory. Taking the first product as an example, “LumiLux Toilet Light,” the figure on the left end of the distribution (in this example 9%) means 20% of the advertisers in this subcategory have a score lower than 9%. Similarly, the figure on the right (for the first product, 39.8%) means 20% of advertisers in this subcategory have a score higher than 39.8%. The number above the distribution in the gray box is the ACoS for the displayed ASIN. In the example above, we can see that the first product, “LumiLux Toilet Light,” has an ACoS of 46.7%, meaning that it is in the top 20% for this subcategory. Products with an ACoS higher than the benchmark are prime candidates for optimization. To interpret and take action on the ASIN-level KPI scores, repeat these steps for each KPI: Use the “FILTERS” button above the far-right column to filter by ad spend.Click on the KPI in the second column to easily sort scores to identify high-impact opportunities for optimization. Implement solutions outlined in the “LEARN HOW TO IMPROVE THIS SCORE” link to improve your KPIs. The Benchmarker – Executive Summary Busy?

I’m interested in areas where data meets storytelling. After a long stint in academia where I worked on projects that appeared in the National Climate Assessment (United States), Conservation Letters, and Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, I’ve turned my attention to developing solutions to the trickiest topics that brands on Amazon face.
