Do You Need to Analyze Amazon Ads Reports Manually?
← Back to Amazon Automatic Targeting Optimisation: What to Change First
Quick answer
Manual Amazon Ads report analysis is no longer the only path to spotting wasted spend. Tools in the Todoza Amazon Ads Analytics stack automate report imports, classify search terms by performance signals, and surface negative keyword or bid adjustment candidates. The output still requires your review before any live campaign change. This keeps control with the seller or agency while removing repetitive spreadsheet work.
You don't have to open every search-term file yourself. The practical question for most sellers is where automation should stop and human judgment should start.
Where the manual workload disappears
Automation takes over the repetitive parts: report import, row matching, and first-pass classification of search terms. The Amazon Ads Report Analyzer accepts CSV or XLSX uploads and scheduled email imports, while the Amz Ad Waste Detector flags lower-ROAS targets and wasted spend.
- Search-term report imports from Amazon
- Classification of negative keyword candidates
- Spend and ROAS comparisons across campaigns
Where human approval should remain
Read-only tools do not change live campaigns automatically. Strategic calls—whether to negate a search term, how aggressive a bid cut should be, or whether a keyword just needs more data—depend on your business context.
The Amazon Negative Keyword Tool by Todoza suggests removals or bid changes, but the final apply step stays with your team.
When this matters
This balance matters most when you manage multiple marketplaces or accounts. Automated classification saves hours, but a poorly reviewed negative keyword can block a profitable long-tail term. If you are optimizing automatic targeting, review the tool's reasoning before approving changes.
