Sponsored Brand Ads in Ad Genius: Specifics and Limitations

Guide to managing Sponsored Brand Ads in Ad Genius, including features, requirements, and current API limitations.

Written by Denis

1. Support for Sponsored Brand Ads

Ad Genius currently supports Sponsored Brand Ads placed through Amazon Advertising only. Within Ad Genius, you can:

  • Manually adjust bids for Sponsored Brand campaigns

  • Adjust keywords associated with your Sponsored Brand ads

  • Access suggestions, specifically:

    • Bid adjustment suggestions

    • Archive keyword suggestions

Note: Although Ad Genius provides insights and recommendations for Sponsored Brand campaigns, there are some operational limitations at this time (see Section 4 below).


2. Requirements for Using Sponsored Brand Ads

Before you can locate Sponsored Brand Ads campaigns in Ad Genius:

  • You must complete Amazon’s Brand Registry process.

  • Your products need to be properly associated with your brand.

  • You can only create Sponsored Brand Ads for products where you are the brand owner.


3. How to Locate Sponsored Brand Ads in Ad Genius

  • If you have Sponsored Brand campaigns active in Seller Central, you will see the Sponsored Brand Ads campaigns listed on the Campaign Manager page.

  • Sponsored Brand Ads Reporting within Ad Genius lets you monitor and analyze the basic metrics of your Sponsored Brand campaigns.


4. Differences and Limitations

  • The campaign data layout in Ad Genius for Sponsored Brand Ads is similar to Sponsored Product Ads, but:

    • Some fields are missing because Sponsored Brand Ads use different parameters and metrics.

  • Important Limitation:

    • Currently, Ad Genius cannot push changes (such as bid updates or keyword edits) to Sponsored Brand campaigns via Amazon’s API.

    • This means that while Ad Genius can suggest changes and report on performance, any actual adjustments must be made directly in Seller Central.

    • Once Amazon enables API support for Sponsored Brand changes, Ad Genius will be updated to support these actions.
