Using the Cleanup Plan Feature for Smarter Amazon Ads Decisions
← Back to Amazon Ads Performance Dashboard
Quick answer
Cleanup Plan is a dedicated feature within Amazon Ads analytics tools that supports decision-making on negative keywords, bid adjustments, and campaign status. It provides actionable data by highlighting underperforming campaigns and inefficient spend, helping advertisers remove wasted budget and optimize their ad accounts for better results.
If you want to take control of your Amazon Ads performance, the Cleanup Plan feature can act as your guide for identifying problem areas and recommending cleanup actions. It’s especially valuable when aiming to cut costs and improve campaign effectiveness.
How the Cleanup Plan Works
The Cleanup Plan systematically evaluates your campaign and keyword data using metrics chosen for Amazon Ads, such as spend, ROAS, and wasted spend. The feature identifies where ad spend isn’t meeting your goals and suggests targeted actions—such as adding negative keywords to block unproductive searches, adjusting bids to optimize for performance, or reviewing campaign status for possible pauses or removal.
Using Data for Informed Decisions
Armed with clear analytics, advertisers can confidently choose which keywords or campaigns to keep, pause, or adjust. By focusing on the inefficiencies flagged by the Cleanup Plan, time and budget are redirected from underperforming segments to areas showing the best return. For hands-on users, this means less guesswork and more measurable impact in daily campaign management.
When This Matters Most
The Cleanup Plan becomes especially important if your ad spending starts to climb without matching increases in sales, or if you regularly launch new keywords and want to quickly filter out poorly converting terms. For accounts managing multiple campaigns, it streamlines the review process with prioritized suggestions.
