“This team was amazing. I cannot say enough about them. When I tell you how much they have poured into my life, you wouldn’t believe it. They were encouraging, supportive, they were patient,, and they were very respectful to what I was trying to figure out during this process. I have another project coming up, they are the one for me. I felt that we were so aligned, I was at peace when I talked to anyone member of the team. At the end of any conversation I have had with them, they all always end with some type of encouraging words. Sorry, I didn’t mean to be this long on here, but I just had to share the amazing work this team is doing. You can feel they do care when they sent an email. I think God knows exactly who I needed for this project, and He gave them. The book is now published, great job. Thank you, thank you. May God continue to bring people to you because you are doing an amazing job through your work. Lucie”

“I'm a first-time book publisher, and I could not have found a better partner than HMD Publishing. They did both my cover design and the work of uploading the manuscript to Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. The team was consistently knowledgeable, professional, responsive, detail-oriented, courteous, and above all patient. I had dozens of questions as we worked through the process, and they answered each one thoroughly and without ever making me feel ridiculous for asking. My book launched two days ago, and HMD has my highest recommendation for anyone looking for professional services to help make your writing dreams come true.”

“More like a 4.9! It was easy to work with the team and the cover design was absolutely fantastic! I offered inspiration and they made magic! My only complaint is the back cover design. I wanted a mix of synopsis and author bio but deferred to their expertise, even though I provided examples of what I wanted they offered their professional opinion. The delivery was a few hours past the agreed time but in the end all worked out and I am pleased with the experience and the delivered product. And I definitely feel like it was well worth the price!”

“Thank you so much to the HMD Publishing Team! They have been amazing throughout this entire process. I had already worked with them to get my book ready to publish on Amazon but discovered (after the fact) that publishing to PublishDrive had different technical requirements. They were on it! They converted my book to meet the more stringent PublishDrive requirements and HMD Publishing very kindly answered all of my questions regarding the process. Thanks to the HMD Publishing Team’s patience and knowledge, I no longer feel lost in this whole publishing world and look very much forward to doing it all again with them in the future!”

The job was done in less than the anticipated time, too, which was a wonderful unexpected bonus! That can only happen when working with a team that listens and actually cares. Thank you so much, HMD Publishing! I'll definitely be back for my next one!!”

Operating model

Ad spend only works when the structure stays disciplined.

Good Amazon ads management is not about touching the account every day. It is about reviewing the right signals often enough to cut waste, protect momentum, and scale only what is proving profitable.

Search-term harvesting and negative keyword control
Bid changes based on actual click and conversion behaviour
Placement and campaign-type adjustments when the data supports it
Marketplace expansion only after the base account stabilises

Sponsored Products

The core engine for most author campaigns, focused on high-intent keyword traffic and retail-page placement where conversion can be measured quickly.

Best use

Primary acquisition layer for most books.

Sponsored Brands

Useful when an author has a stronger catalogue, series strategy, or branded store presence and needs broader visibility above product listings.

Best use

Best when catalogue depth already exists.

Sponsored Display

Applied selectively for retargeting, audience expansion, and defensive placement when the account is mature enough to support wider testing.

Best use

Added once the fundamentals are profitable.

Ongoing management

Want the account managed month to month instead?

The packages above cover a fixed campaign window. If you’d rather keep the account under continuous management once it’s live, choose a monthly plan sized to your ad budget when you order.

FAQ

Questions authors usually ask before they commit.

Clear answers on timeline, scope, rights, revisions, and what happens after checkout.

What's included in Amazon Ads management?

We handle everything: campaign setup, keyword research, bid optimization, negative keyword management, and detailed monthly reporting. You focus on writing while we drive sales.

What is ACOS and why does it matter?

ACOS (Advertising Cost of Sales) is the percentage of revenue spent on ads. Lower ACOS means more profit. We optimize your campaigns to achieve the lowest possible ACOS while maintaining sales velocity.

How much should I budget for ads?

We recommend starting with at least USD 600-USD 1,250/month in ad spend. Our management fees are separate and based on the package you choose. The Starter package covers up to USD 1,250 in monthly ad spend.

How long until I see results?

Initial setup takes 1-2 weeks. You'll typically see improvements in visibility within 2-4 weeks, with significant ACOS improvements after 2-3 months of optimization.

Do you guarantee specific results?

While we can't guarantee specific sales numbers (Amazon's algorithm changes frequently), we do guarantee dedicated optimization and transparent reporting. Bringing your ACOS down is the target we manage to, and your monthly report shows exactly how it is moving.

How do I promote or advertise my book on Amazon?

Most authors start with Sponsored Products campaigns targeting the keywords and categories readers already search, then add Sponsored Brands or Display once the account has data to work from. We set up, structure, and run all of it — you don't need to learn Amazon Ads yourself to advertise on it well.

How much does Amazon KDP advertising cost?

Two separate numbers matter: our management fee (from USD 597, based on the package) and your own ad spend, which you set and control directly in Amazon's system. We recommend at least USD 600-USD 1,250/month in ad spend so campaigns have enough data to optimise against.

Can I advertise my book on Amazon for free?

Amazon doesn't run paid ad campaigns for free — every click costs money the moment a campaign goes live. What's free is the pre-work: keyword and category research, a listing audit, and getting the book page itself ready to convert traffic once ads start. We include that groundwork in every package.

Choose the campaign that matches the stage

Get campaigns that are managed, not guessed at.

If the book is already live, move straight into the package flow. If positioning or launch timing still needs work, talk to the team before you turn spend on.
