The absolute minimum is ₹100/day per campaign, but we recommend at least ₹500-1,000/day (₹15K-30K/month) to gather meaningful data and see results. For competitive categories like electronics, budget ₹2,000-5,000/day.
Average CPC ranges from ₹2-35 depending on category. Low-competition categories like books see ₹2-5 CPC while electronics can go up to ₹35. The platform-wide average is ₹8-12 per click.
A good ACOS depends on your profit margin. Generally, 15-25% ACOS is considered good for most categories. During product launch, 30-40% ACOS is acceptable to build velocity. Our PPC management team targets under 20% ACOS for established products.
If you're spending over ₹50K/month on ads, a professional Amazon PPC agency like SW Cybernetics typically pays for itself through better ACOS optimization and higher ROAS. We've managed ₹1000Cr+ in ad spend across 500+ brands.
