Amazon is testing search ads that link directly to DTC websites.
While brands have historically viewed Amazon as a marketplace and Google as their traffic driver, these lines are blurring in ways that will reshape advertising strategy.
"We see more and more advertising consolidating to Amazon." Said a recent insider’s research report.
Why does this matter for DTC brands?
First, it signals Amazon's ambition to become the starting point for all product discovery - not just purchases on their platform.
Second, it creates a potential alternative to Google Search, which has seen rising CPCs and increasing competition.
Third, it represents a strategic pivot from Amazon's traditional approach of keeping users within their ecosystem.
The implications run deeper than just another channel to test:
For established DTC brands, this creates both opportunity and risk. Amazon's immense consumer data could enable more precise targeting than Google currently offers.
However, it also means potentially shifting budget away from proven channels.
For emerging brands, this might lower the barrier to leverage Amazon's vast audience without necessarily selling on the platform - a previously impossible proposition.
For all advertisers, it raises questions about data ownership, attribution, and the long-term balance of power in digital marketing.
"A risk to Google Search from AMZN also bears monitoring."
The most strategic brands are already preparing for this shift by:
Testing Amazon DSP for off-platform targeting
Building modular attribution systems that can adapt to new platforms
Exploring how their Amazon Marketplace and direct website strategies complement each other
Developing clear testing frameworks for when these new ad units become widely available
The digital advertising landscape rarely undergoes fundamental shifts. When it does, early adaptation creates disproportionate advantages.
This is one of those moments worth watching closely.
