SellerSpace's Ad group module in the advertising system automatically synchronizes all Ad group data from your stores. You can completely bypass Amazon Seller Central and perform all analysis and maintenance operations related to Ad groups directly within SellerSpace.
Ad groups belong to campaigns. Under one campaign, you can create multiple Ad groups (except for Sponsored Brands campaigns) to target keywords, products, and categories for advertising. This multi-dimensional approach exposes your products and helps you acquire more traffic and conversions.
I. Data Source
Data for all Ad groups in your store is automatically synchronized through the official Amazon API.
II. Synchronization Frequency
1. Approximately 2-3 hours after successful authorization, advertising data from the last 60 days is automatically synchronized, and Ad group data is updated every 3-4 hours.
2. After the initial 60-day data synchronization is complete, advertising data from the last 2 days is updated approximately every 30-60 minutes, and advertising data from the last 3-60 days is updated daily, based on Amazon's advertising attribution window.
Special Notes:
1. If you modify Ad group information in Amazon Seller Central, such as Ad group names, bids, or statuses.
The system will not update in real-time. Changes made in Seller Central will be synchronized once on the first access to the SellerSpace ad management page each day, and then every 6 hours thereafter, unlike campaign data which updates approximately every 30-60 minutes.
If you have made adjustments to campaigns in Amazon Seller Central, you can manually synchronize the information promptly. Operation path: Ad Management -> Ad groups -> Synchronize Status/Bid.
+
2. If you add new Ad groups, promoted products, keyword targeting, or non-keyword targeting in Amazon Seller Central.
The system will not synchronize updates immediately. Updates will only occur when the ad object receives impressions.
If you have added new campaigns in Amazon Seller Central, you can manually synchronize the information promptly. Operation path: Ad Management -> Ad groups -> Manual Data Synchronization -> Basic Data Synchronization.
+
Furthermore, due to Amazon's advertising attribution window, advertising data may still fluctuate within 60 days after it occurs.
The system does not synchronize historical data in real-time, so discrepancies may exist when viewing non-real-time advertising data.
You can manually synchronize historical advertising data through "Report Data Synchronization."
+
Special Notes: Each marketplace allows a maximum of 3 manual synchronizations per day, with a minimum interval of 30 minutes between each synchronization.
3. If you authorized your store first and then activated advertising, you may encounter situations where advertising data is not found. In this case, you can click 【Refresh】 here to refresh the advertising data.
You can also view the latest update time of the advertising data here.
+
4. Click the line chart icon to hide or display the total chart.
+
III. Adding Ad groups
Only Sponsored Products and Sponsored Display ads support creating Ad groups. Sponsored Brands ads are directly targeted when creating campaigns. Before creating a new Ad group, you need to create a campaign in advance (click to see how to create a campaign), and then choose to create a new Ad group under that campaign.
3.1 Creating a New Ad group - Sponsored Products
Sponsored Products is a cost-per-click advertising solution that allows you to promote the products you sell through ads that can appear in highly visible placements on Amazon.
Its campaigns have two targeting strategies: Automatic targeting / Manual targeting. Ad group settings will vary slightly depending on the campaign's targeting strategy.
Click the 【Add Ad group】 button on the left to enter the new Ad group page;
+
3.1.1 Creating an Automatic Targeting Ad group
Automatic targeting Ad groups include 4 match types: Close Match + Loose Match (keywords), Substitutes + Compliments (ASINs).
After setting up, the Amazon advertising system will automatically match buyer search terms through these four match types, pushing promoted products to buyers' search results pages to gain impressions.
+
1) Select Campaign (Automatic Targeting)
Enter the Add Ad group page,
Select the automatic targeting campaign to which you want to add an Ad group;
+
2) Set Name and Default Bid
After selecting the campaign,
Click 【Campaign Info】 on the right to view the campaign information,
Set the Ad group name and the corresponding default bid.
Tips: After setting the default bid, all four match types in this Ad group will use this bid. You can also choose to set different bids for them later (set bids by targeting group).
+
3) Add Promoted Products
After setting the Ad group name and default bid,
Add promoted products by searching or bulk entering product ASINs.
Add ad products by searching:
+
Bulk enter ASINs to add ad products:
+
4) Set Bids by Targeting Group (Optional)
You can choose to set ad bids separately by targeting group. When enabled, you can individually Enable/Pause these four match types and set different bids for them to utilize your budget more effectively.
Note: Bids set by targeting group have a higher priority than the default bid.
+
5) Add Negative Targeting (Optional)
You can choose to add negative keywords and negative products for this Ad group. After adding negatives, Amazon will not target your Ad group's products for the negative keywords and products.
+
3.1.2 Creating a Manual Targeting Ad group
Manual targeting Ad groups include two targeting strategies: Keyword Targeting + Product Targeting (Category Targeting / ASIN Targeting)
After setting up, Amazon will target your ads based on your targeting strategy, such as matching buyer search keywords or targeting related product detail pages, etc.
The first three setup steps are basically the same as automatic targeting.
Targeting Strategy - Keyword Targeting:

1) Select Campaign (Manual Targeting)

2) Set Name and Default Bid
Set the Ad group name and default bid,
+
3) Add Promoted Products
Add promoted products by searching or bulk entering product ASINs.
+
4) Select Targeting Strategy and Set Corresponding Targeting (Including Negative Targeting)
Targeting Strategy: Keyword Targeting
Keyword targeting refers to placing your products on the search results page for that keyword.
Keyword Targeting Setup Steps: Select Keywords -> Confirm Keywords (set corresponding bids or delete/add) -> Add Negative Keywords (optional) -> Launch Ad group
+
When adding manual ad keywords, you can add system-suggested keywords, or manually bulk enter keywords, or choose to add Amazon's recommended top 200 keywords;
+
After selecting the corresponding keyword source, you can also view and analyze the keyword's impression share and rank on Amazon to determine whether to target the keyword;
+
Add System-Suggested Keywords: Select 【Suggested】 to choose suggested keywords matched by the Amazon system based on the added promoted product information;
+
Manually Bulk Enter Keywords: Select 【Enter List】 to manually enter the keywords you want to target;
+
Choose to Add Amazon Recommended Top 200 Keywords:
Amazon will match the top 200 keywords with comprehensive performance based on the products you choose to advertise. These keywords are highly referential for your targeting, and you can choose to target these keywords to increase your ad revenue.
+
Confirm Added Keywords:
Supports setting bids separately for keywords of each match type and deleting added keywords.
Tips: Bids set here have a higher priority than the Ad group's default bid.
+
Add Negative Keywords:
You can choose to add negative keywords for this Ad group. After successful addition, Amazon will not target your ads for these keywords;
+
After confirming that the information is correct, click 【Launch Ad group】 to complete the creation.
+
Targeting Strategy: Product Targeting (Category Targeting / ASIN Targeting)
Product targeting refers to placing your products on a certain category or product detail page of a specific ASIN.
Product Targeting Setup Steps: Select Category or ASIN -> Confirm Targeting Information (set bids and delete added targeting) -> Add Negative Product Targeting -> Launch Ad group
+
Add Category Targeting:
Category targeting has two adding methods: Amazon Suggested Categories or search to add a category.
Amazon Suggested Categories: Refers to relevant categories intelligently recommended by Amazon based on the promoted products you added. When you don't have a target category, you can try adding suggested categories.
Select 【Suggested】, click the add button on the right side of the category to add the suggested category;
When adding category targeting, you can choose 【Include Parent Category】 or 【Exclude Parent Category】 in the suggestion list:
+
You can also click 【Refine】 to further refine the targeting scope of the category.
+
Search to Add a Category: When you have a target category to target, you can directly search for the category and add it with one click.
Select 【Search】 to directly search and add your target category.
+
Click 【Refine】 to also further refine the targeting scope of the category;
+
Add ASIN Targeting
There are also two ways to add ASIN targeting: Add Amazon Suggested Products, manually enter ASINs.
Add Amazon Suggested Products: Amazon will intelligently recommend products related to the promoted products you added. When you don't have target products to target, you can choose this option to add targeting.
Select 【Individual products】, enter the 【Suggested】 list, and add Amazon suggested ASINs;
+
If you already have target related products, select 【Manually Enter】 and bulk enter product ASINs to add ASIN targeting.
+
Confirm Targeting Information:
After adding categories and ASINs, you need to make a final confirmation. At this time, you can set bids separately for these targeting options or delete some added targeting objects.
Tips: Bids set separately here have a higher priority than the Ad group's default bid.
+
Finally, you can choose whether to add negative products and brands. After successful addition, your products will not appear on the detail pages of these products.
Exclude Brands: Search for brands to add negative products. After adding, your ads will not appear on any pages of these brands;
Exclude All: Bulk enter product ASINs to add negative products. After adding, your ads will not appear on any pages of these ASINs.
+
After adding, confirm that all information is correct, and click 【Launch Ad group】 to complete the creation of the Ad group.
+
3.2 Creating a New Ad group - Sponsored Display
Amazon Sponsored Display ads allow your products to reach relevant audiences browsing on and off Amazon.
Click 【Add Ad group】 to enter the new Sponsored Display Ad group;
+
Sponsored Display Ad groups have slightly different setup methods depending on the campaign's targeting type.
Targeting Type: Product Targeting + Audiences
Product Targeting: You can display ads to audiences currently browsing products and categories you select, as well as similar products. Your ads can be placed on Amazon, including product detail pages and search results pages.
Audiences: You can choose the customer audiences you want to target with Sponsored Display ads. Your ads will be placed on and off Amazon, including the Amazon homepage, product detail pages, shopping search results pages, third-party websites, apps, and Twitch.

IV. Ad group - Data Analysis
SellerSpace's advertising system automatically synchronizes all Ad group data. You don't need to download data reports from Amazon Seller Central; you can directly analyze all Ad group data for your store in the system.
