Amazon’s marketplace is evolving at lightning speed. With ad placements dominating search results and the A10 algorithm getting smarter, brands must rethink their Amazon advertising strategies. To drive growth in 2025, success hinges on integrating Amazon SEO, influencer marketing, UGC (User-Generated Content), and paid media into a unified strategy.
At HatchEcom, we help eCommerce brands optimize this synergy to unlock sustained visibility and profitability on Amazon.
Since late 2024, brands have noticed a major shift: organic visibility on Amazon has dropped by 15–20%, and 60–70% of top search results are now occupied by paid placements. On mobile, ads can dominate 50–60% of the screen on the first swipe—making it harder for non-sponsored listings to get noticed.
This evolution doesn’t mean organic efforts are obsolete. In fact, Amazon’s algorithm rewards a combination of paid and organic traction—creating a flywheel: more sales via ads → better organic rank → even more visibility.
Winning brands don’t choose between Amazon SEO or ads—they integrate both. At HatchEcom, we’ve seen clients who allocate 5–11% of projected revenue to Amazon Marketing Services (AMS) while also investing in organic SEO and UGC consistently outperform their competitors.
Here’s how this trifecta works:
Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display ads powered by AI and machine learning increase reach, relevance, and return on ad spend (ROAS).
Listings optimized with high-intent keywords, A+ Content, and strong reviews perform better in organic rankings and convert at higher rates.
Authentic content—like product demos and reviews from real customers—boosts conversion rates, drives external traffic, and signals brand relevance to Amazon’s algorithm.
To stay competitive, brands must embrace the latest Amazon ad trends and tools:
Machine learning refines audience targeting and helps deliver ads with greater precision and higher ROI.
Real-time, data-driven bidding prevents overspending while maximizing visibility and performance.
Amazon’s newer tools offer simplified dashboards for managing multiple campaigns efficiently, saving time for strategic tasks.
The expansion of video advertising on Amazon now empowers smaller brands to showcase authentic product stories and drive engagement.
Amazon’s A10 algorithm continues to evolve in 2025. Here's how brands can stay ahead:
Brand Authority: Drive off-Amazon traffic (e.g., from influencers, social media, Google Ads) to enhance your organic ranking.
Customer Engagement: Encourage and respond to reviews, manage Q&As, and maintain strong seller ratings.
Enhanced Content: Use A+ Content with lifestyle imagery, feature comparisons, and brand storytelling to boost time on page and conversions.
UGC & Influencer Marketing: Content from real customers enhances trust and improves relevance signals for Amazon's algorithm.
