Negative Keyword Management for Amazon PPC
Cease Wasting Ad Spend — Target What Sells, Block What Does Not
Each click is expensive — but not every click generates revenue.
In Amazon PPC, irrelevant keywords can quietly consume ad spend and kill profitability. That is where Negative Keyword Management can help.
At eCom Managers, we assist brands in safeguarding their ad spend, enhancing ROI, and preserving campaign accuracy through data-driven negative keyword methods.
We ensure that your ads find actual buyers — not browsers.
What Is Negative Keyword Management?
Negative Keyword Management is the activity of finding and excluding non-converting or irrelevant search queries in your Amazon PPC campaigns.
When your ads show up on unrelated searches, you pay for clicks that never result in sales. By using negative keywords, your ads display only on searches that are relevant to your target audience.
This service keeps your ACOS low, ROAS high, and budget spent where it actually converts.
Why Your Amazon PPC Needs Negative Keyword Optimization
Even the best Amazon PPC campaigns can tank if they’re not cutting out the bad traffic.
Here’s why negative keyword management is crucial for all sellers:
- Wasted Spend Killer — Pay no more for non-converting clicks.
- Better Ad Relevance — Your ads show only for high intent searches.
- Reduced ACOS, Higher ROAS — More profit with less waste.
- Increased Click-Through Rate (CTR) — Get cleaner impressions and more engagement.
- Improves Buyer Targeting — Only target customers who are ready to buy.
In short, this service allows you to advertise better, not merely more.
Our Process at eCom Managers
We don’t simply slap some negatives on and leave it at that.
Negative Keyword Management is an ongoing, data-based process that adapts to your campaigns here at eCom Managers.
Here’s how we bring precision and performance:
- Detailed Search Term Analysis
We begin with a complete Amazon PPC account audit.
Our specialists examine past data, and identify:
- High-click keywords with no sales
- Low-intent phrases (“cheap,” “DIY,” “used”)
- Irrelevant traffic patterns
- Branded terms with no conversion
- This informs us clearly where your ad spend is being wasted.
- Strategic Negative Keyword Categorization
All negatives aren’t the same. We classify keywords based on performance and intent, including:
- Irrelevant Product Terms (“toy,” “free,” “template”)
- Competitor or Brand Terms that result in low conversions
- Irrelevant Modifiers (not sold color, size, or style)
- Low-Intent or Deceptive Phrases
This tiered architecture makes sure only the correct keywords are being excluded — maintaining sharp targeting without draining reach.
- Precision-Level Implementation
- We use negative keywords at campaign and ad group levels to have maximum control.
- Campaign-level negatives avoid wasteful spending on every ad group.
- Ad-group-level negatives target product-specific.
- This ensures efficiency, clarity, and zero overlap between campaigns.
- Continuous Monitoring & Optimization
Amazon PPC isn’t static — it evolves daily.
Our team regularly reviews your Search Term Reports and performance metrics to:
- Add new negative keywords
- Remove over-restrictive ones
- Track the impact on ACOS, CTR, and conversions
- Fine-tune your campaign for long-term efficiency
- With continuous monitoring, your campaigns never lose momentum.
- AI-Driven & Manual Refinement
We combine automation and expert strategy. Our AI-powered tools identify wasteful keywords before they suck your budget dry, while our PPC experts review each exclusion manually to guarantee precision and harmony.
It’s a hybrid method that means you enjoy speed + accuracy + human knowledge.
