Seeing a gap in how to best capture high-intent shoppers
Flywheel, a leading digital commerce service provider, has already excelled on Amazon. But they noticed a major opportunity for their clients: high-intent shoppers were searching on Google but not finding them. Their goal? Capture that interest, funnel it into an Amazon store, and improve overall sales velocity and awareness. They tested this approach with a global leader in the med-tech sector.
The approach: Refine the Google-to-Amazon media strategy
Flywheel partnered with Ampd’s enterprise-grade retail ad tech to:
- Connect Google Search Ads to Amazon storefront traffic
- Easily enable closed-loop attribution, revealing exactly which Google spend drives Amazon sales
- Automate bids and creative optimization based on real Amazon transactions, not guesswork
When it came to execution, the Flywheel team expertly leveraged Ampd to:
- Launch targeted non-branded Google search campaigns
- Route clicks directly to Amazon product pages
- Use real-time Amazon sales data to adjust ad spend, sharpening performance continually
Results: Ampd shows you the quantifiable success
When commerce experts like Flywheel partner with game changing technology like Ampd, the results are hard to argue with:
- 17.5% add-to-cart rate, reflecting strong shopper intent
- 608% direct ROAS on non-branded Google spend
- Full transparency on Google-to-Amazon conversions, once a data “black hole”
“Only a few weeks in and results are already surpassing expectations… we’ve been able to track Amazon sales through Google, which was previously a black hole.”
— Bernie Che, Director of Omnichannel Platforms at Flywheel
Why it worked
Flywheel found that Google campaigns didn’t just reach new customers, they accelerated their Amazon ecosystem.
More carts → better Amazon rankings → increased organic visibility → enhanced brand awareness.
This virtuous “retail flywheel” effect is exactly what Flywheel wanted, and saw within weeks.
Agency and customer alike finally got the tool they needed to:
- Capture high-intent users at the moment they search on Google
- Create a seamless path to purchase, maintaining shopper momentum into Amazon
- Perform optimization based on retail outcomes, with Ampd’s automated systems adjusting in real time
- Gain attribution clarity, proving the direct value of Google Ads to Amazon conversions
