Straight answers on selling with Amazon
From onboarding and Brand Registry to advertising, inventory and reporting, here's what brands ask us most about growing on Amazon Australia.
Can't find your question? Get a clear answer from a team that's worked inside Amazon.
Getting Started on Amazon
Yes, but switching models is a commercial and operational transition, not a settings change. Moving to Vendor requires an invitation from Amazon. Moving to Seller means taking responsibility for pricing, stock, fulfilment, customer service and the Account Health measures attached to them.
Either move can affect listings, review continuity, stock and the reporting baseline. We therefore plan the cutover for a quieter trading period and, when leaving Vendor, align the timing with the annual negotiation rather than making the change mid-cycle.
Not if the channel is managed carefully. Many major retailers already sell through Amazon or operate marketplaces of their own, so simply having a presence there is unlikely to be the issue.
Coordinating promotions and deciding which products or pack sizes belong on each channel can help protect those relationships. The aim is to make Amazon an additional route to market without weakening the value of your existing retail partnerships.
Yes. Products, bundles or pack configurations created specifically for Amazon cannot be directly compared with a retailer’s existing assortment. This gives the brand a way to reach Amazon shoppers without duplicating or undercutting the products sold through other channels.
An exclusive range can also be tailored to how customers shop on Amazon, such as through multipacks, bundles or different sizes. It should still be planned around demand, margin and operational requirements, but used carefully, it can expand market coverage while protecting retail relationships.
Often, yes. Customers choose channels for different reasons: some visit stores for advice or immediate collection, while others prefer retailer websites for loyalty benefits or an existing account. Amazon shoppers are typically drawn to the convenience of searching, comparing and purchasing products in one place.
Many also begin with a general product search rather than looking for a particular brand. Availability, delivery speed, reviews and listing quality can therefore influence which product they choose, giving brands access to customers they may not reach through their website or retail partners alone.
Amazon Brand Registry verifies your connection to the brand and gives you greater control over how it appears on Amazon. It unlocks tools such as A+ Content, Brand Stores, Brand Analytics and intellectual property reporting. It's also required for programs including Vine and some bundle and subscription features, so it's usually one of the first things we address.
For amazon.com.au, the most reliable route is a registered Australian trade mark from IP Australia. The mark can be a word mark or a word-and-device mark containing text, but the wording must match the brand name shown on the product or packaging. Amazon may accept pending applications in some circumstances, so we confirm eligibility before proceeding if the application is still under examination.
Preparation has a major effect on approval time. We gather the supporting documents upfront, match the ASINs to the brand assets carefully and respond to Amazon's questions.
Because an Amazon listing serves a different shopper and a different purpose. Some customers arrive with a need but no brand preference, so the page must help them compare options and understand the product quickly. Others already know the brand and are checking practical details such as price, availability, Prime delivery or subscription options. The same listing has to support both decisions.
Amazon copy must also follow platform rules that don't apply to your website. Since 27 July 2026, titles in every non-media category have been capped at 75 characters including spaces. Additional information can move into a new searchable Item Highlights field displayed beneath the title.
Product variations group options of the same item, such as size, colour or flavour, under one listing. A non-buyable parent ASIN connects the child ASINs customers can purchase, allowing shoppers to compare and switch between options without leaving the page.
A well-structured variation family can improve navigation, conversion and organic performance by consolidating traffic and making reviews visible across eligible variants. This means a new option added to an established family can begin with more credibility than the same product launched as a standalone listing.
Only genuine variants can be grouped. Combining unrelated products to pool reviews or traffic breaches Amazon’s listing policy and can result in the family being split. We review variation structures during the account audit for invalid relationships, duplicated children and incorrect themes, while reporting performance at the child ASIN level, where the actual price, inventory and sales data sit.
A hard bundle is packed in advance and sold as one product with its own SKU, barcode, stock, listing and reviews. On the other hand, a virtual bundle combines existing listings into one offer without physical repacking.
Amazon fulfils each component from its existing FBA stock. The program requires Brand Registry and generally covers ASINs from the same brand, with every component also available to buy separately.
We begin with the commercial and compliance foundations: unit economics, category requirements, product documentation, catalogue data, barcodes and stock readiness. Finding a compliance or catalogue problem at the end of the process is costly, so we resolve those issues before committing launch spend.
In regulated categories, the order of work matters more than speed. Supplements, healthcare products, infant formula and some beauty products carry a higher risk of suppression, so we clear the relevant regulatory requirements first, including TGA or ARTG requirements where applicable. Launching first and fixing compliance later can leave products unavailable for weeks.
We then build the product page and account foundations before driving traffic: the range is listed and in stock, and the images, Brand Store, A+ Content, Brand Story, titles and descriptions are ready. Advertising an incomplete listing wastes launch budget because the page isn't prepared to convert. Where eligible, Vine is arranged early because review volume is often one of the main launch constraints.
On Vendor Central, creating the listing doesn't guarantee that Amazon will place a purchase order. We may use Born to Run to propose an initial quantity for a new product or an out-of-stock line.
Once the product is live, we adjust the plan using real customer behaviour: search terms, conversion by traffic source, bid efficiency and demand against forecast. The first four to six weeks are a learning period, so the launch plan should be expected to change as the data becomes clearer.
Amazon decides which products are eligible, and how you take part depends on your account type. On Seller Central, you opt in to automatic enrolment from the Subscribe & Save dashboard, which adds all eligible Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) products in one step. Because products can be added without you selecting each one, we check the live product pages as well as the account settings.
On Vendor Central, you enrol your products and sign an agreement with Amazon, because you fund the 10% discount. Subscribers on amazon.com.au get 10% off their deliveries.
The main value is retention rather than discounting. Subscribers reorder automatically, so you keep them without paying to win them back each time. It works best for consumable products with enough margin and reliable stock, and we track active subscribers and the share of sales coming through subscriptions to make sure it stays profitable.
Amazon requires products to be in stock and eligible for the Featured Offer before Sponsored Products ads can run. If a product sells out or an inbound shipment arrives late, its ads stop, which can happen at the worst possible time, such as the lead-up to a major sale.
We monitor stock cover alongside ad performance and adjust spend when supply is tight, so your budget goes to products that can actually sell. Getting inbound shipments right, with correct labelling and on-time delivery, protects both your sales and the results your advertising has built.
If a customer cannot receive an offer through an approved Amazon mechanism, it shouldn't be promoted on the Amazon listing. Otherwise, the listing creates a promise that Amazon cannot fulfil and introduces both customer-service and policy risk.
We can usually recreate the commercial intent using an eligible Amazon tool. A gift-with-purchase might become a hard or virtual bundle, or a discount of equivalent value. On amazon.com.au, available mechanisms can include save-at-checkout offers, Prime-member savings, coupons and quantity discounts, depending on the account and product.
The listing must not direct shoppers elsewhere to buy or claim an offer, include external URLs or contact details, retain expired promotional claims or connect any benefit to leaving a review. Review-linked incentives are especially serious because they can put the account, not just the listing, at risk.
Before any event, we also check the list price used to create the struck-through reference price. Without a valid list price, Amazon may not show the saving, making a genuine discount less visible beside competing offers. Because list prices are easy to miss in a new catalogue, we check and correct them by product or bulk upload before the promotion begins.
Amazon often reaches shoppers who prefer to search, compare and buy within its marketplace. If your product isn't available there, the sale may go to a competitor rather than shift to your website or a retail partner.
The Australian data supports this. 2026 ecommerce research found that 56% of Australian Amazon shoppers bought a product they hadn't previously considered, while 48% visited a brand's website after discovering it on Amazon. Across the launches we've tracked, we've also seen Amazon and brand websites grow at the same time.
The main cannibalisation risk is inconsistent pricing. Maintaining price parity and carefully planning which products are sold through each channel helps Amazon add incremental reach without undermining your existing sales channels.
Yes. Amazon isn't only a sales channel, it can also introduce shoppers to brands they haven't encountered before. 2026 ecommerce research found that 48% of shoppers visited a brand's website after first discovering it on Amazon.
A strong Amazon presence can increase brand awareness and prompt shoppers to search for more information, explore the wider product range or learn more about the company. Although Amazon listings can't be used to direct shoppers off the platform, discovery on Amazon can still lead to greater interest across the brand's other channels.
An official presence gives your brand greater control over how its products are presented and managed. Without one, third-party resellers may use outdated imagery, incomplete product information or inconsistent pricing, creating an experience that doesn't reflect the brand accurately.
Managing the channel directly also makes it easier to improve listings, coordinate the product range and respond to catalogue issues. Resellers may still operate on the marketplace, but the brand is in a stronger position to protect its content and provide customers with a more consistent buying experience.
With Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA), Amazon stores, picks, packs and ships your products while handling most customer service and returns. Offers are generally Prime eligible, but you pay per-unit fulfilment fees, monthly storage fees and additional charges for aged inventory.
With Fulfilment by Merchant (FBM), called Fulfilment by Seller in Australia, you or your logistics partner hold and dispatch the stock. It can suit oversized, fragile, date-sensitive or slow-moving products, but Amazon monitors late shipments, valid tracking and cancellations, with poor performance potentially affecting Account Health. Many catalogues are mostly FBA, with FBM used selectively for the products that genuinely suit it.
Those economics need to be assessed SKU by SKU. Since October 2024, FBA fees have varied by selling price as well as size and weight, with products below $13 receiving lower fulfilment fees.
Amazon Australia reduced selected FBA and Multi-Channel Fulfilment fees again in June 2026, but the changes vary by category and tier. A small price change or incorrect Browse Node classification can therefore affect the applicable fulfilment and referral fees, so we model each product against the live fee schedule rather than rely on a broad rule of thumb.
Seller Central and Vendor Central are different commercial models, and the right choice depends on your margins, fulfilment capability and how much control you want to retain.
With Seller Central, or 3P, you sell directly to shoppers using Amazon's distribution network, set the retail price and own the stock until it sells. This gives you greater control over pricing and margin. You stay responsible for customer service, and for fulfilment we generally recommend Fulfilment by Amazon, where Amazon stores and ships your stock. Handling your own fulfilment through Fulfilment by Merchant is unusual and tends to suit only specific cases like oversized or slow-moving lines.
With Vendor Central, or 1P, you sell wholesale to Amazon, which then becomes the retailer, sets the retail price and handles the customer transaction. The model can simplify operations and support scale, but profitability depends on the agreed cost price, back terms, deal funding and advertising support, not the shelf price alone. Vendor Central is also invitation-only, and modelling it using your standard wholesale price can overstate the margin.
Before recommending an approach, we assess your margin at Amazon’s likely cost price, fulfilment capability, catalogue complexity, internal resources and growth plan to understand the full commercial and operational picture.
Working with RocketAMS
We don't stop at launch. We track how each listing performs and keep refining it, so it stays ahead as shopper behaviour and competitor listings change.
A listing that was optimised a year ago isn't necessarily optimised today. Search terms shift, competitors update their pages and what converts moves with them, so a listing left untouched slowly falls behind.
Ongoing performance monitoring is built into the service rather than being an extra. We treat the listing as something to keep improving, not a project that finishes at go-live.
Peak events change how shoppers behave, so our advertising changes with them. In the weeks before an event, we build visibility while shoppers are researching and deciding what to buy. During the event, we focus on turning that interest into sales, adjusting spend as competition and costs shift. Afterwards, we re-engage shoppers who showed interest but didn’t buy, then return campaigns to normal.
Every brand’s plan is tailored to its products, deals and goals, and we measure success across the whole event period rather than the sale days alone.
Onboarding usually takes 8 to 12 weeks and follows a structured 90-day plan. We begin by securing account access, completing a full account and catalogue audit, and agreeing on the commercial priorities that will guide the work. The audit becomes the working record for the account, capturing the status of every ASIN and the main issue holding each product back.
From there, we move through strategy and setup across content, advertising, inventory and day-to-day operations before launch and the first performance review.
We confirm the go-live timing only after reviewing the catalogue data. The complexity of the account and how quickly access, product information and brand assets are provided will determine how efficiently onboarding progresses.
You receive reporting that explains what changed, why it changed and what we are doing next. It covers sales and units, advertising, inventory and stock cover, catalogue and content status and Account Health.
The reporting is supported by one live record for every ASIN, including Featured Offer status, content status, stock position and the main issue currently holding it back. Featured Offer data is refreshed at least weekly and written back automatically. Because each report reads from the same record, the figures reconcile rather than coming from separate, manually maintained exports.
Our monitoring is designed to catch issues early. Regular checks on things like Featured Offer status and shortage claims can be the difference between resolving a problem quickly and finding it after the loss has already been written off.
Every metric is given one agreed definition at onboarding and isn't changed without explanation. We use plain language, identify incomplete or directional data and distinguish between measures that describe the past and those that indicate what may happen next. On Vendor, for example, the proportion of purchase orders confirmed can help predict sales two to three weeks ahead.
Two standards guide the reporting. First, important problems should be raised when they happen, with an action and timeline, rather than appearing for the first time in a month-end report. Second, performance should be judged across the full year, not only during major sales events.
Account Management
Our team acts as an extension of yours, taking responsibility for strategy, day-to-day operations and growth across your Amazon account. The point is that nothing falls through the gaps between the parts of an account that get attention and the parts that quietly cost you money.
On the content side, we optimise your listings so they're built for Amazon's search and for the two kinds of shopper who land on them: the one still deciding and the one who already knows your brand. That covers titles, bullet points, descriptions, PDP images, A+ content, Brand Story, Brand Store and the SEO content underneath all of it.
Advertising is run hands-on and constantly optimised. We manage the mix across Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display, and we tie spend back to your commercial targets and margin rather than to platform metrics in isolation.
We also manage inventory and stock cover, monitor Featured Offer status and Account Health and handle vendor negotiations where they apply. Underneath it all sits a single live record of every ASIN with its status and the one thing currently blocking it, which is what keeps the account moving rather than drifting.
Each account is run by a dedicated Australian-based Brand Manager with extensive Amazon experience, backed by regular reporting so you always know what is working and what is next. We set the scope at the start and adjust it as the account grows, so the service keeps pace with your business rather than staying fixed to the original brief.
We work best with established brands that are serious about growth on Amazon. That includes brands already selling and looking to scale, brands preparing to launch for the first time and brands entering a new marketplace, whether that’s Australia, the US, the UK, Europe or Japan.
In practice, that means brand owners, scale-ups and private equity-backed businesses with substantial annual sales. For these businesses, Amazon is a meaningful revenue channel, so getting the account right has a real effect on the bottom line.
We’re a senior team that gets to know your account deeply, covers the full scope of what a growing Amazon business needs, and moves quickly.
If you’re ready to make Amazon a bigger driver of growth, our account management service is built to help you get there.
Every proposal is tailored to your marketplaces, the complexity of your account and your growth goals, so there’s no fixed price list. Two brands of similar size can need very different levels of support depending on their catalogue, how many marketplaces they sell in and where the account is starting from, so we scope each engagement to what your account actually needs rather than fitting you to a package.
Our contracts typically combine a fixed fee with a variable component. The fixed fee covers the core management work that happens every month regardless of sales, and the variable component ties part of our cost to performance.
That structure means our cost scales with your sales rather than sitting as a flat overhead. It also keeps our incentives aligned with yours, because when your account does well, we do well.
We'll walk you through exactly how the fee is built before anything is agreed, so there are no surprises once work starts. The proposal reflects the scope we agree together, and it can be revisited as the account grows.
No. We work month-to-month with no lock-in periods.
We'd rather keep your business by getting results than by holding you to a contract. Long tie-ins tend to protect the agency rather than the client, and we've built the relationship the other way around.
That flexibility also keeps us honest. If we're not adding value you're free to leave, which is a stronger incentive for us than any notice period, and in practice it's why our clients stay.
If your circumstances change or your priorities shift, we can adjust the scope rather than forcing you to choose between a fixed arrangement and walking away. The month-to-month basis is designed to make that kind of change straightforward.
Timelines depend on the state of the account when we take it on and the size of the opportunity in front of us. An account with clear, fixable problems moves differently from one that's already well run and needs finer tuning, so we're wary of promising a single number that fits every brand.
Some fixes land quickly. Where a listing is suppressed, a Featured Offer has been lost or a title has been rewritten by Amazon, correcting it can show up in sales within days.
Other work compounds over time rather than switching on overnight. Content, advertising, inventory and account structure all take longer to build and then measure properly, because the gains come from sustained ranking, cleaner data and better stock decisions rather than a single change.
That's why we agree what good looks like at the start and report against it, so progress is visible even while the slower work is still building. We'd rather set a realistic expectation and beat it than promise a headline number we can't stand behind.
Our process applies to everything we create and update for your brand, from titles, bullet points and descriptions to images, A+ Content, Brand Stores and ad creative. We begin with your product information, brand guidelines, customer questions and Amazon’s requirements, then present a key messaging document before production starts. You review the copy and visuals, we apply the agreed feedback and the approved content is submitted to Amazon.
Amazon then reviews the content before it goes live. Many changes are approved within a day, but timing is outside our control and can run longer during peak periods. An edit made while content is under review can restart the process, so we avoid changes at that stage unless they’re necessary. Once content is live, we check the product page to confirm it’s displaying correctly.
Advertising
Amazon Ads is the broader name for Amazon’s advertising products and technology. Sponsored Products promote individual listings, Sponsored Brands showcase the brand and its range and display ads help reach relevant audiences across different stages of the buying journey. These campaigns can appear in shopping results, on product pages and across other eligible placements.
Amazon DSP extends that reach off the Amazon platform through programmatic display, video, audio and streaming TV advertising across Amazon sites and selected third-party destinations. The right combination depends on the campaign objective: capturing active demand, building awareness, acquiring new customers or reconnecting with audiences who have already shown interest.
We manage your Amazon Sponsored Ads campaigns end-to-end. So targeting, keyword strategy, bid management and ongoing optimisation all sit with us rather than being split across separate hands. The aim throughout is to drive sales while optimising your Advertising Cost of Sales (ACoS).
The difference between a campaign that works and one that burns budget comes down to targeting, keyword match and how the account is built, not how much you spend, so we get that right before scaling anything.
From there, we manage the mix across Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display, because leaning too heavily on any one of them tends to cost returns at the same total spend. We build each campaign around your specific goal, whether that's lowering ACoS, scaling spend profitably or breaking into a new marketplace.
We manage campaigns hands-on rather than setting them and forgetting them. That means real, ongoing optimisation against performance, not a template dropped in and left to run.
You deal only with our core Australia-based team, including former Amazon Australia employees, so there's no overseas account manager and no timezone gap between you and the person running your campaigns.
Every proposal is custom-made for your business, based on your marketplaces, the complexity of your account and your goals, so there's no fixed price list. Two brands of similar size can need very different amounts of work depending on how many marketplaces they run and the state of their existing campaigns, so we scope each engagement to what your account actually needs.
Our contracts typically combine a fixed fee with a variable component. The fixed fee covers the core management work that happens every month, and the variable component ties part of our cost to performance.
That means our cost scales with your sales rather than sitting as a flat overhead. It also keeps our incentives aligned with yours, because we do better when your advertising does better.
We walk you through exactly how the fee is built before anything is agreed, so there are no surprises once campaigns start.
Timelines depend on your campaign history, how the account is currently set up and the size of the growth opportunity. An account with a clean structure and useful data behaves differently from one that needs rebuilding, so we're wary of promising a single number that fits every brand.
Some optimisations deliver quick gains. Cutting obvious waste, fixing poor targeting or correcting bids can move ACoS within days.
The more durable gains take longer, because they come from testing rather than guessing. Working through keywords, targeting, bids and campaign structure needs enough data to produce reliable results, and that builds over weeks rather than overnight.
That's why we agree what good looks like at the start and report against it, so progress is visible while the testing is still running. We'd rather set a realistic expectation and beat it than promise a headline number we can't stand behind.
We start with the commercial outcome: your sales target, margin by product, your efficiency targets such as TACoS, ACoS or ROAS, category demand, stock position and account maturity. From there, we set the budget and allocate it across the products and campaign types most likely to deliver a return.
Most budget problems come down to allocation rather than the total amount available. We balance Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display across brand defence, category growth, competitor targeting and new-customer acquisition. Performance is reviewed throughout the month, and we would rather leave budget unspent than force it into placements that are not working.
Before increasing spend, we also check stock cover and Featured Offer eligibility to avoid advertising products that are unavailable or unable to convert. New launches may justify a higher ACoS for a defined learning period, but the timeframe, investment limit and exit criteria are agreed in advance. The result is a budget that moves with the commercial opportunity rather than one spent simply because it is available.
We assess advertising against the commercial result, not platform metrics in isolation. That includes sales, units, conversion rate, ROAS, ACoS, TACoS, New-to-Brand share and the organic share of revenue, all read alongside product margin.
The real test is whether advertising is growing total demand or simply paying to capture sales that would have happened anyway. A high ROAS can be misleading if most spend goes to people already searching for the brand. Rising ad-attributed sales alongside flat total sales is a warning sign, while TACoS shows whether advertising is supporting growth across the whole account. We also look at what happens when promotions end or spend eases, because durable organic performance is the stronger signal.
No. We work month-to-month with no lock-in periods.
We'd rather keep your business by getting results than by holding you to a contract. Long tie-ins tend to protect the agency rather than the client, and we've built the relationship the other way around.
That flexibility also keeps us honest. If we're not driving sales and improving your returns you're free to leave, which is a stronger incentive for us than any notice period.
If your priorities shift, we can adjust the scope rather than forcing you to choose between a fixed arrangement and walking away.
Product Listing Optimisation
Ranking gets a shopper to your page, and the content is what turns that visit into a sale. Our service covers both, from keyword research and copywriting to design and ongoing performance monitoring.
We research the keywords that actually drive traffic, then write titles, bullet points and descriptions the way a real buyer wants to read them, so your listing ranks and still reads well.
The design work then carries the rest of the sale. Your PDP images, A+ Content, Brand Story and video where it's needed all work together to answer questions and build trust once a shopper is on the page.
Our best partnerships are with established brands ready to grow on Amazon. Some are already selling and want to scale, some are preparing to launch and others are expanding into a new marketplace, whether that's Australia, the US, the UK, Europe or Japan.
In practice, that means brand owners, scale-ups and private equity-backed businesses with substantial annual sales. These are businesses where a stronger listing converts enough traffic to matter.
Every proposal is customised based on the size of your catalogue and the complexity of your needs, so there's no fixed price list. Optimising a handful of hero products is a very different job from a large catalogue that needs new copy and design work across every listing, so we scope each engagement to what you actually need.
Our contracts typically combine a fixed fee with a variable component. The fixed fee covers the agreed optimisation work, and the variable component ties part of our cost to performance.
That means our cost scales with your sales rather than sitting as a flat overhead. It also keeps our incentives aligned with yours, because better listings and more sales benefit both sides.
We walk you through exactly how the fee is built before anything is agreed, so there are no surprises once work starts.
No. We work month-to-month with no lock-in periods.
We'd rather keep your business by getting results than by holding you to a contract. Long tie-ins tend to protect the agency rather than the client, and we've built the relationship the other way around.
That flexibility also keeps us honest. If your listings aren't converting better and climbing the rankings you're free to leave, which is a stronger incentive for us than any notice period.
If your priorities shift, we can adjust the scope rather than forcing you to choose between a fixed arrangement and walking away.
Indexing and technical fixes register first, because rankings and sales can't move until Amazon reads the listing correctly. Getting the listing indexed properly is the groundwork everything else builds on, so it comes before the gains show up.
From there, timing depends on the product, its competition and the strength of the offer. A strong product in a less crowded category moves faster than a new listing facing established competitors, so we're wary of quoting a single figure that fits everyone.
Some of the improvement is quick, particularly where the copy or content was clearly holding conversion back. The fuller gains build as the listing earns rank and gathers data.
That's why we establish a baseline at the start and measure progress from there, so improvement is visible against where you actually started rather than a generic promise.
Retail Media Services
We fully manage paid retail media campaigns for brands ranged in Woolworths, Coles and Chemist Warehouse, across Cartology, Citrus and Criteo. That covers keyword research, campaign setup, budget planning and pacing, ongoing optimisation and reporting.
We bring the same approach we use on Amazon, built on data, speed and accountability. Campaigns are actively managed against live data rather than left to run, and we plan spend around your promotional calendar so it supports the deals already in market.
Our reporting ties spend back to sales, and where it's useful, we look at in-store results alongside online performance, since shoppers often research online before buying in store. We also run regular visibility checks on the retailer sites, so you know where your products appear for the searches that matter.
No. We focus solely on paid campaigns. We don't manage brand pages, PR or in-store activations.
Paid campaigns are the whole mandate by design. Keeping the focus there means nothing gets diluted across channels we aren't built to run.
That way every hour goes toward the campaigns that actually move sales. If you need owned or earned media handled, that sits with a different partner rather than with us.
Yes. This service is for brands already ranged in Woolworths, Coles or Chemist Warehouse.
Retail media promotes the products already on the retailer's shelf, so the ranging has to be in place first. Without distribution there's nothing for the campaigns to drive shoppers to.
If you're stocked in one or more of those retailers, we can run campaigns against that range. Getting ranged in the first place is a separate step that sits with you and the retailer.
No. We work month-to-month with no lock-in periods.
We'd rather keep your business by getting results than by holding you to a contract. Long tie-ins tend to protect the agency rather than the client, and we've built the relationship the other way around.
That flexibility also keeps us honest. If the campaigns aren't converting and tracing back to sales you're free to leave, which is a stronger incentive for us than any notice period.
If your priorities shift, we can adjust the scope rather than forcing you to choose between a fixed arrangement and walking away.
We apply the same data, speed and accountability we use managing Amazon accounts, with a focus on conversion rather than impressions. We're not learning retail media from scratch.
The same team that's managed hundreds of Amazon accounts and driven real revenue growth runs these campaigns. You get people applying strategy already tested at scale, not a separate junior team learning on your budget.
We also keep the mandate narrow. Paid campaigns are all we do here, so nothing gets spread thin across owned or earned media, and every hour goes toward the work that moves sales.
Graphic Design
We design the full range of visuals your listing needs: compliant PDP images, A+ content, Brand Store and Brand Story. The aim is a product page that answers a shopper's questions before they scroll, because shoppers judge a listing in seconds.
That same creative carries through the rest of the journey. It runs into your Amazon Brand Store so shoppers get a consistent experience once they click through, into product demo and lifestyle videos further down the funnel, and across your sponsored ads, so every touchpoint looks like the same brand.
Every project runs through a set process: discovery, concept and creation, then review and refinement. Final assets are optimised and delivered ready to upload, so nothing needs reworking before it goes live.
The work is built specifically within Amazon's compliance rules and layout requirements. A freelancer or generalist agency can make something look polished, but assets built only to general brand guidelines usually need rework, so designing to the platform's rules from the start saves that.
We work best with established brands that are serious about growth on Amazon. That includes brands already selling and looking to scale, brands preparing to launch and brands entering a new marketplace, whether that's Australia, the US, the UK, Europe or Japan.
In practice that means brand owners, scale-ups and private equity-backed businesses with substantial annual sales. These are businesses where the quality of the product page has a real effect on conversion, so strong creative pays for itself.
We built RocketAMS to sit between a large agency and a freelancer. Large agencies often stretch their teams across many clients, while a freelancer may not have the depth in Amazon’s creative requirements that a growing brand needs. We’re a small senior team that designs specifically for the platform.
If you’re ready to make your creative work harder on Amazon, our design service is built to help you get there.
Every proposal is tailored to the visuals you need and the size of your catalogue, so there’s no fixed price list. Refreshing the images for a single hero product is a very different job from designing a full Brand Store, so we scope each engagement to what you actually need.
Our contracts typically combine a fixed fee with a variable component. The fixed fee covers the agreed creative work, and the variable component ties part of our cost to performance.
That means our cost scales with your sales rather than sitting as a flat overhead. It also keeps our incentives aligned with yours, because our design is judged on whether it converts, not just how it looks.
We walk you through exactly how the fee is built before anything is agreed, so there are no surprises once work starts.
Our aim is to go through one review cycle with every piece of content we produce. Before any design work begins, we develop a key messaging document with you that sets out what each asset needs to say and who it’s for. Once you’ve signed it off, everything we design is built against that agreed framework.
That upfront step means feedback focuses on refining the work rather than rethinking it. You still review the designs and we incorporate your agreed feedback, but because the direction is settled from the start, most projects need far fewer changes.
You retain ownership of the brand assets you provide. Ownership and licensing of work created by RocketAMS are governed by your service agreement.
Yes. Several clients keep design production in-house while RocketAMS provides the marketplace specification: the brief, module structure, image and text requirements, keyword guidance and a compliance check before submission. This division works well because Amazon's technical requirements are more specific than general brand guidelines and can otherwise lead to avoidable rework.
No. We work month-to-month with no lock-in periods.
We'd rather keep your business by getting results than by holding you to a contract. Long tie-ins tend to protect the agency rather than the client, and we've built the relationship the other way around.
That flexibility also keeps us honest. If the creative isn't lifting how your listings look and perform you're free to leave, which is a stronger incentive for us than any notice period.
If your priorities shift, we can adjust the scope rather than forcing you to choose between a fixed arrangement and walking away.
Search Engine Optimisation
We do our best work with brands scaling up on Amazon Australia, and we also work with clients in the US, UK and Japan, as well as businesses entering or expanding into new marketplaces.
Keyword research and listing content are localised for each market rather than copied across. Search behaviour, language and customer expectations differ from one country to the next, so a listing that ranks and converts in Australia won't automatically do the same elsewhere.
That localisation covers both the words shoppers search and the way the listing reads once they arrive. We build each market's content around how people in that market actually shop.
Our SEO service starts with a full audit, then covers listing optimisation, keyword research and placement, catalogue and variation clean-up and backend indexing fixes. Amazon SEO works best when these pieces are handled together rather than treated as separate jobs.
Keyword selection and placement matter, but so does what sits underneath the listing. Backend search terms, catalogue structure and how variations are set up all affect whether a product can be found, so we work on the technical side as well as the visible copy.
We track performance on an ongoing basis and refine listings as search behaviour and the competition change. That way, issues are picked up and addressed early rather than left until a scheduled review.
Pricing depends on the number of products and marketplaces, the complexity of your catalogue and the amount of research, writing and technical work required, so there's no fixed price list. A tidy catalogue in one marketplace is a very different job from a large, complex one across several, so we scope each engagement to what your account actually needs.
Our contracts typically combine a fixed fee with a variable component. The fixed fee covers the ongoing SEO work each month, and the variable component ties part of our cost to performance.
That means our cost scales with your sales rather than sitting as a flat overhead. It also keeps our incentives aligned with yours, because better rankings and more sales benefit both sides.
We walk you through exactly how the fee is built before anything is agreed, so there are no surprises once work starts.
SEO is more of a long-term play than paid advertising, because it relies on Amazon's algorithm re-ranking your listings over time rather than buying visibility outright. The gains compound as the listing earns rank, so they build rather than switch on.
Timing depends on the product, the level of competition, your account history and your wider offer. A strong product in a less contested category moves faster than a new listing fighting established competitors, so we're wary of quoting a single figure that fits everyone.
Because of that, we establish a baseline at the start and measure progress from there. That way improvement is visible against where you actually started, rather than against a generic promise.
We track performance on an ongoing basis, so the direction of travel is clear well before the full gains land.
Yes. Amazon product pages can appear in Google search results, which gives a listing another route to be discovered beyond Amazon's own search bar.
The same fundamentals that make a listing clear and useful on Amazon can support that visibility: an accurate title, complete product attributes, relevant copy and a well-structured product page. When Google can understand what the product is and which search it answers, the page has a stronger chance of appearing for a relevant query.
That visibility is a secondary benefit of our Amazon SEO work, not the main objective. We prioritise the searches shoppers make within Amazon because they're closer to purchase and because improvements there can directly affect discoverability and sales on the marketplace.
An Amazon listing also cannot replace SEO for your own website. Amazon controls the page structure, indexing environment and customer journey, while your website requires its own technical, content and authority strategy. The two can support one another, but they serve different channels and should be measured separately.
Demand-Side Platform (DSP)
If you’re already winning strong visibility on your core keywords and extra spend is adding cost without adding much volume, DSP is how we reach new shoppers and re-engage those who viewed your products but didn’t buy.
Your listings need to be ready first, because DSP sends shoppers to your product pages and weak pages waste that spend. We look for strong content, solid reviews and ratings, reliable stock and consistent Buy Box ownership. Budget matters too, since DSP needs enough spend and time to build audiences and gather the conversion data it optimises against.
These are RocketAMS criteria rather than Amazon requirements. If the account isn’t ready, we’ll recommend strengthening those foundations first and revisit DSP once Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands are performing well.
We cover full Demand-Side Platform (DSP) campaign management, including audience strategy, creative setup, cross-placement campaign builds and real-time optimisation. It runs as one connected process rather than a bolt-on to an existing PPC account.
The starting point is audience rather than keywords. Amazon DSP buys programmatically against audiences built from shopping, category and interest signals, including lookalikes of your existing buyers, so we build the audience strategy first and the campaigns around it.
From there, we handle the creative setup and deploy ads across multimedia formats that standard search specialists rarely manage. These campaigns run fluidly across Amazon-owned websites and streaming apps like Prime Video and Twitch.
Campaigns are monitored and refined on an ongoing basis. For campaigns focused on reaching new customers, we watch the new-to-brand share closely, because a modest early return alongside a high share of new customers can mean the campaign is doing its job.
Our team is DSP-certified and includes former Amazon employees, so campaigns are built on a real understanding of how Amazon’s audience data works.
Every proposal is custom-tailored to your marketplaces, campaign complexity and goals, so there's no fixed price list. DSP spans more formats and placements than standard PPC, so the amount of creative and audience work varies a lot between brands, and we scope each engagement to what your campaigns actually need.
Our contracts typically combine a fixed fee with a variable component. The fixed fee covers the core management work each month, and the variable component ties part of our cost to performance.
That means our cost scales with your sales rather than sitting as a flat overhead. It also keeps our incentives aligned with yours, because we do better when the campaigns do better.
We walk you through exactly how the fee is built before anything is agreed, so there are no surprises once campaigns start.
Both. DSP can reconnect with people who have viewed or bought relevant products, and it can prospect for new customers using shopping, category and interest signals, including audiences similar to existing buyers. For prospecting campaigns, we pay close attention to New-to-Brand share: an initially modest ROAS can still be healthy when a high proportion of sales comes from genuinely new customers.
DSP isn't a replacement for Sponsored Ads. It adds reach at different points in the customer journey.
Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display are strongest when shoppers are already searching, comparing products or browsing relevant pages on Amazon. They help the brand convert demand that's visible now.
DSP can work earlier, reaching audiences based on shopping, category and interest signals before they search for the brand. It can also reconnect with people who viewed relevant products but didn't buy. Campaigns may run across display, video, audio and streaming TV placements on Amazon Owned & Operated Network and selected third-party sites and apps.
The two channels should therefore be planned together. Sponsored Ads capture active intent, while DSP can create, widen or recover demand that Sponsored Ads alone may not reach. A brand with strong listings and reliable Sponsored Ads data is usually better positioned to make DSP work because the campaign has a stronger conversion destination and more useful signals to learn from.
Success is measured according to the role DSP is playing. Prospecting may be judged through reach and New-to-Brand share, while retargeting can be held to a more immediate conversion standard. Comparing every DSP campaign directly with Sponsored Products would ignore the different job each one is designed to do.
Executive Training
Our sessions cover platform essentials, SEO, listings, fulfilment and account health, as well as PPC and DSP advertising strategy. The aim is that strategic decisions come from real platform knowledge rather than second-hand reporting.
A core part of it is reading Amazon's own data and turning it into decisions. We teach your team how to interpret what the platform is telling them, not just the theory of how it is meant to work.
That knowledge is then applied to the growth challenges your team is actually facing. The training is built around your account rather than a generic curriculum, so what your team learns is immediately usable.
It's built for two groups. Leadership teams who need to understand how Amazon fits into the wider business, and brand managers who need the operational detail to run day-to-day performance with confidence.
The sessions are shaped around who is in the room. Leadership gets the strategic view of where Amazon sits in the broader business, while brand managers get the hands-on detail they need to run the account.
That means the same program flexes to the audience rather than delivering one level of depth to everyone. Each group leaves with what is actually relevant to their role.
Every program is customised for your team, so it isn’t an off-the-shelf course. We design the content around your specific goals and challenges rather than delivering a fixed curriculum.
It starts with a discovery call to understand your team's needs. That tells us where the gaps are and what the team most needs to walk away able to do.
From there we build the sessions around your account and your objectives. The result is training that reflects the realities of your business rather than a template that could apply to anyone.
Yes. We provide post-training resources to help your team stay on track and keep applying what they've learned.
The aim is that the training keeps paying off after the sessions end. A one-off workshop fades quickly, so the follow-up resources are there to keep the learning in use.
That way your team has something to refer back to as they put it into practice. The support reinforces the sessions rather than leaving the team to remember it all on their own.
Sessions are interactive, built around hands-on learning and real-world examples rather than slides and theory. The focus is on your team doing the work, not just watching it explained.
We use real scenarios drawn from actual Amazon accounts, so the learning maps directly onto what your team faces day to day. That makes it easier to apply straight away rather than translating theory into practice later.
Each session is backed by follow-up resources after the training, so your team stays on track once the sessions are over. Everything taught is designed to be used immediately.
Training is led by senior professionals who manage real Amazon accounts daily. You're learning from people doing the work, not just describing it.
That matters because what they teach has been tested on live accounts rather than assembled from a course template. The guidance reflects how the platform actually rewards decisions, not just how it is meant to in theory.
It also means the answers to your team's questions come from experience. The trainers have hit the same problems your team is working through and know what actually resolved them.
