Pay-per-click and product optimization are essential tools for Amazon sellers. Both mechanisms promote brand merchandise and improve site visibility, so should merchants integrate the two to maximize optimization?

Amazon seller and PPC expert Mina Elias strongly recommends sellers start merging the two devices. Beyond complementing each other, Mina explains that vendors do their business a disservice if the two teams don’t communicate. Alternative product maximization strategies include image and price split testing. When analyzing stock images, consider reviewing competitors' case studies and commerce channel rankings using PickFu or similar research platforms. Mina stresses the importance of testing product prices because sellers’ natural intuition is to lower prices when specific inventory underperforms. However, vendors risk their profit margins by decreasing costs, which could damage the business.
