From Impressions to Conversions: A Guide to Amazon Local Ads Metrics

Understanding key metrics is essential for evaluating the performance of your Amazon Local Ads campaigns. These metrics provide valuable insights into how well your ads are reaching and engaging your target audience, ultimately helping you meet your business objectives. Here are the key metrics to track:

‍

Impressions

‍

Impressions measure the number of times your ad is displayed to users. This metric is crucial for brand awareness campaigns, as it indicates the reach of your ad. High impressions mean that more people are seeing your ad, increasing the likelihood of brand recognition and recall.

‍

Clicks

‍

Clicks represent the number of times users interact with your ad by clicking on it. This metric reflects user engagement and interest in your offering. A high click-through rate (CTR) suggests that your ad is relevant and compelling to your audience, encouraging them to learn more about your product or service.

‍

Conversions

‍

Conversions track the number of desired actions taken by users after clicking on your ad, such as making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or filling out a form. This metric is directly tied to your campaign goals, with high conversion rates indicating that your ad is not only engaging but also effective in driving business outcomes.

‍

Additional Metrics

Viewable Impressions

‍

A viewable impression occurs when at least 50% of your ad is visible on the user’s screen for a minimum of one second for display ads and two seconds for video ads. This metric ensures that your ads are actually seen by users, rather than just being served. Techniques to increase viewable impressions include placing ads in high-visibility areas of the webpage, using engaging ad formats, and creating visually appealing ads that quickly capture attention.

Amazon Ad Tag (Beta)

‍

Currently in beta, Amazon's ad tag allows you to track conversions on your website, measuring how many users who clicked on your ad completed a desired action, such as a purchase or a newsletter sign-up. This tool is essential for understanding the direct impact of your ads on your website traffic and sales.

‍

Form Fill Conversions

‍

For campaigns focused on lead generation, tracking the number of users who complete and submit forms is crucial. This metric helps evaluate the effectiveness of your lead generation efforts and provides insights into the quality of the leads being generated.

‍

Door Swing Conversions

‍

With Dorado Ads' DOR technology, you can track door swing conversions, which measure the number of customers visiting your physical store as a result of seeing your Amazon ad. This metric provides valuable insights into the offline impact of your online advertising efforts.

Using Metrics to Evaluate Ad Performance

Regularly tracking and analyzing these metrics is crucial for making informed decisions about your ad campaigns. Tools like the Amazon Advertising Dashboard provide comprehensive data on ad performance, while third-party analytics tools, such as those offered by Dorado Ads, offer additional insights and tracking capabilities.
