Sample Python Scripts

Campaign Performance Analysis

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Load campaign data
campaigns = pd.read_csv('amazon_campaigns.csv')

# Calculate key metrics
campaigns['CTR'] = campaigns['clicks'] / campaigns['impressions']
campaigns['CPC'] = campaigns['cost'] / campaigns['clicks']
campaigns['ACoS'] = campaigns['cost'] / campaigns['sales']

# Visualize performance
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6))
plt.scatter(campaigns['CTR'], campaigns['ACoS'])
plt.xlabel('Click-Through Rate')
plt.ylabel('Advertising Cost of Sale')
plt.title('Campaign Performance Scatter Plot')
plt.show()

Keyword Optimization Script

# Identify high-performing keywords
high_performers = campaigns[
    (campaigns['CTR'] > campaigns['CTR'].quantile(0.75)) &
    (campaigns['ACoS'] < campaigns['ACoS'].quantile(0.25))
]

# Calculate bid recommendations
high_performers['recommended_bid'] = high_performers['CPC'] * 1.2

print("Top Performing Keywords:")
print(high_performers[['keyword', 'CTR', 'ACoS', 'recommended_bid']])

Implementation Guide

Setting Up Your Environment

  1. Install Python: Version 3.8+ recommended
  2. Create Virtual Environment: python -m venv amazon_ads_env
  3. Install Dependencies: pip install pandas numpy matplotlib seaborn scikit-learn boto3
  4. Get API Credentials: Set up Amazon Advertising API access

Data Extraction Process

  1. Authentication: Use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate with Amazon
  2. API Calls: Request campaign, ad group, keyword, and performance data
  3. Data Storage: Save raw data to CSV, Parquet, or database
  4. Data Cleaning: Handle missing values, duplicates, and data type conversions

Analysis Workflow

  1. Exploratory Data Analysis: Understand data distributions and correlations
  2. Feature Engineering: Create new metrics and derived features
  3. Model Building: Train predictive models for optimization
  4. Validation: Test models on holdout data and measure performance
  5. Deployment: Implement automated analysis pipelines

Benefits

  • Customization: Build analysis tailored to your specific needs
  • Scalability: Handle large datasets efficiently
  • Automation: Schedule regular analysis and reporting
  • Integration: Connect with other business systems and tools
