Your Sponsored Products ads turned $15,589 in spend into $47,863 in attributed sales from 2026-07-04 through 2026-09-26 — a 32.6% cost per sale, from 2,572 orders.

Shoppers clicked your ads 66,310 times, and 3.88% of those clicks became an order. That split matters: a weak click rate usually points to bids or your main image; a weak conversion rate usually points to price or reviews on the listing itself.

You ran 59 active campaigns with spend in this window — 2 automatic-targeting (Amazon matches searches for you). Manual campaigns offer keyword and product targeting; automatic campaigns let Amazon match searches for you. Healthy accounts often use both, but each should earn its budget.

$2,260 went to search terms with enough clicks to act on and zero orders in this window. Page 2 lists the exact terms — keywords and product targets use different negative settings in Campaign Manager.

  • Claim details you review and file in Seller Central
  • Settlement visibility when you connect QuickBooks Online
