Meaning in this directory

In the context of a full service Amazon agency, ACoS measures the efficiency of individual advertising campaigns and keywords. A 25% ACoS means $0.25 was spent in advertising for every $1.00 of ad-attributed revenue. Lower ACoS indicates more efficient advertising, but an optimal ACoS depends on margin structure and growth strategy.
