Why Amazon Sellers Stores Waste Money on Google Ads

These problems are costing you revenue every day. Our audit finds exactly where your budget is leaking.

Opportunity cost: $5,000+/month

Amazon Metrics Mindset

Amazon's ACOS and TACOS metrics don't translate. Sellers expect 25% ACOS but see 50% 'ACOS' on Google and panic-cut campaigns that are actually profitable.

Example: Cutting 3x ROAS campaigns because '33% ACOS' seems high vs. Amazon's 25%
$2,000-6,000/month

Zero Brand Equity Starting Point

On Amazon, your product page gets trust from Amazon's brand. On your site, nobody knows you. Cold traffic conversion rates are 3-5x lower than expected.

Example: Expecting 15% conversion rate (Amazon) but getting 3% on Google
$1,500-4,000/month

Prime Shipping Expectation Gap

Amazon trained customers to expect 1-2 day shipping. Your 5-7 day shipping loses to Amazon on product searches, even when you're advertising.

Example: Customers clicking your ad, seeing 7-day shipping, buying from Amazon instead
$2,000-8,000/month

Catalog-First vs. Audience-First

Amazon success comes from product optimization. Google success comes from audience targeting. Sellers dump their entire Amazon catalog into Shopping and wonder why nothing converts.

Example: 500 SKU Shopping feed with $3/day per product, none getting enough data
$1,000-3,000/month

Reviews and Trust Signals Gap

Your Amazon listing has 5,000 reviews. Your website has zero. Social proof that drove Amazon sales doesn't transfer, and new customers don't trust you.

Example: 4.8 stars on Amazon, no reviews on site = 60% lower conversion rate

Amazon Sellers Google Ads FAQ

Common questions about running Google Ads for Amazon Sellers stores

The fundamental difference is intent and trust. On Amazon, every shopper is pre-qualified—they're in a buying environment, they trust Amazon, and their credit card is saved. Your Amazon ads compete for eyeballs within that trust bubble. Google Ads is different: you're reaching people across the entire internet, most of whom don't know you and may not be ready to buy. The metrics reflect this: Amazon sellers see 15-20% conversion rates because Amazon did the hard work. On Google, expect 1-3% conversion rates starting out—not because your product is worse, but because you're building trust from zero. The mindset shift: Amazon is about product optimization within a trusted marketplace. Google is about audience development and brand building. Stop comparing ACOS to ROAS directly; they measure fundamentally different things.
