The Amazon PPC Cost-Per-Click Inflation Blind Spot
from Performance Marketing with Fexingo: Paid Ads, ROAS, and Direct Response Conversations · host Fexingo
Lucas and Luna examine a hidden profit killer in Amazon advertising: rising cost-per-click (CPC) rates that quietly erode ROAS even when sales look strong. Using the lawn-and-garden category as a case study, they show how CPCs jumped 23% year-over-year between Q1 2025 and Q1 2026, driven by increased advertiser density and Amazon's shift toward video ad placements. The episode walks through a concrete method to calculate your true break-even CPC, identify when your bids are being inflated by competitive pressure versus algorithmic changes, and adjust campaign structure to protect margins. No generic advice—just a specific diagnostic you can run in Seller Central today. #AmazonPPC #CostPerClick #CPCInflation #ROAS #AmazonAdvertising #PaidSearch #PPCMetrics #Ecommerce #DigitalMarketing #SellerCentral #MarketingStrategy #AdSpend #ProfitMargins #LawnAndGarden #VideoAds #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PerformanceMarketing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
