How Tools Rank and Prioritize Amazon Search Terms
← Back to How to Prioritise Search Terms Using SIS, ROAS and Conversion Rate
Quick answer
Amazon search term ranking tools prioritize search terms by comparing SIS, ROAS, spend, clicks, and conversion rate. The analysis separates expensive, low-result terms from those that contribute to sales efficiently. Search terms with poor ROAS or weak conversion and high spend are placed at the top of the action list. The output helps advertisers decide which terms deserve negative keyword treatment or bid reductions first.
If you are reviewing a large Amazon Ads report, this kind of ranking gives you a focused starting point instead of a long list of search terms. The tools remain read-only, so you keep control over final negative keyword and bid decisions.
What the ranking logic actually evaluates
Each search term is measured against the same performance signals: SIS, ROAS, spend, clicks, and conversion rate. A term that drives a few clicks but high spend and no orders will usually appear above a term with lower spend and steady conversions.
This approach filters the full report into a smaller set of terms that deserve a second look.
Which terms move to the top of the list
The highest-priority terms are typically those with low ROAS or low conversion rate and high spend. Tools may classify these as negative keyword candidates or bid-reduction options rather than simply flagging every underperforming term.
- High spend with few clicks and no conversions
- Low ROAS that sits below account targets
- Terms that need more data before a judgment is safe
When this matters for Amazon Ads cleanup
This ranking is most useful when you manage large or multi-campaign accounts. For example, Amazon Negative Keyword Tool by Todoza surfaces negative keyword candidates using these performance signals, but it does not change campaigns automatically.
That read-only approach lets you review the priority order and apply changes during a scheduled cleanup pass.

After the tools rank the terms, the real work is deciding which negative keywords, bid reductions, or further tests to apply. That decision flows directly into the broader process of prioritizing Amazon search terms using SIS, ROAS, and conversion rate.
