Amazon PPC for Home & Kitchen
Home & Kitchen is Amazon US at its most crowded — and its most winnable. Demand is enormous, CPCs are moderate, and most sellers never look past their own converting keywords.
Across our 63-brand portfolio we run this playbook with total-demand keyword mapping — Product Opportunity Explorer, Search Query Performance, Brand Analytics and AMC combined — so budget moves to the demand you're missing, not just the keywords you already convert on.

Questions
What does Amazon PPC cost in Home & Kitchen?
Typical Home & Kitchen CPCs on Amazon US run $0.90–$1.80 depending on keyword type — head terms at the top of that range, long-tails well below it. A workable ACOS band for the category is usually 18–28%, though your margins and repeat-purchase economics set the real target.
What ACOS should a Home & Kitchen seller aim for?
Most healthy Home & Kitchen accounts we see land in the 18–28% range on blended ACOS. The better question is TACOS by ASIN — total ad spend against total revenue — which shows whether ads are building organic rank or just renting sales.
How is ATIL priced for this category?
By parent ASIN, not by ad spend: Try Us $200/month for 2–3 hero ASINs, Starter $499 up to 10, Growth $999 up to 25, Enterprise custom above that. Month-to-month, ad spend stays yours.
