The PPC Den: Amazon PPC Advertising Mastery

Why Is Your ACOS So High?


Listen Later

In this episode, Michael dives into one of the biggest PPC headaches: non-converting spend. He doesn’t hold back, starting with a shocking stat—$500,000 wasted annually on clicks that don’t convert. If your ACOS feels out of control, it’s not because of your converting clicks. It’s those silent budget thieves—non-converting ones—that are dragging you down.

Non-converting spend hides in your reports, and most people ignore it after their first analysis. By the end of the episode, Michael doesn’t just show you how to clean up your account; he makes you see non-converting spending for what it is—a fixable problem.

We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
