Campaign Diagnostics for Amazon Ads
← Back to Amazon Automatic Campaign Optimisation
Quick answer
Campaign diagnostics are in-depth analyses that break down key data from Amazon Ads campaigns, including spend, sales, ROAS, wasted spend, impressions, clicks, orders, and performance by campaign segments such as ad groups and search terms. These insights help advertisers identify inefficiencies, monitor trends, and take steps toward better campaign optimization outcomes.
Understanding the specifics of campaign diagnostics lets advertisers get a clear snapshot of their Amazon Ads’ strengths and weaknesses. By drilling into the details, you can uncover new ways to optimize your ad budget and reach your goals more effectively.
What Do Campaign Diagnostics Analyze?
Detailed campaign diagnostics track a range of metrics that reveal the health of an Amazon Ads account. These include total ad spend, sales generated, return on ad spend (ROAS), number of impressions, clicks, orders, and how much spend does not deliver a return—often called wasted spend. Diagnostics also break down this data by campaigns, ad groups, specific targets, and even down to the search term level. This granularity allows precise identification of what’s working and what needs adjustment.
How Data Is Gathered and Used
Tools like the Amz Ad Waste Detector - Amazon Ads Analytics Module collect data mostly by importing periodic reports (CSV/XLSX) and automated email feeds rather than live real-time streaming. This approach enables thorough, historical analyses without needing direct platform integration. By reviewing detailed diagnostics, advertisers can spot trends, highlight underperforming areas, and make informed decisions for future campaigns.
When Campaign Diagnostics Matter Most
Diagnostics are especially important when managing multiple Amazon accounts or complex advertising portfolios. Having access to robust, segmented data ensures that you can monitor each account’s performance individually and make strategic choices across your campaigns for maximum efficiency.
