Kaufland Ads Management

For sellers and brands already live on Kaufland

Kaufland ads management means running your Kaufland Sponsored Product Ads, and Sponsored Brand Ads where you qualify, so the right products appear in Kaufland search, category and product pages at a cost of sale you can afford. EcommTech, a Kaufland service partner, builds and optimises the campaigns and tracks your rankings with our own tool, KauflandTracker.

What are Kaufland Marketplace Ads?

Kaufland’s advertising products for sellers are Sponsored Product Ads, which promote individual offers, and Sponsored Brand Ads, which show up to three products with a headline and brand logo. They appear in search results, on category pages and on product detail pages, across the Kaufland marketplaces and in the Kaufland app.

Key facts from Kaufland’s Seller University:

• Billing: cost per click. Kaufland uses a second-price rule, so you pay the second-highest bid rather than your full maximum. The minimum bid is €0.01.
• Invoicing: click costs appear on your monthly commission statement in the Seller Portal, one month in arrears.
• Per marketplace: each Kaufland marketplace needs its own campaigns, and you can only advertise products you offer on that channel.
• BuyBox: if other sellers offer the same product, your ad only shows while you hold the BuyBox.
• SBA access: limited to verified brand owners and authorised partners, after Kaufland reviews trademark proof.

Why do Kaufland ads need active management?

Kaufland ads need active management because each marketplace runs separately, automatic settings optimise only within the limits you give them, and an ad stops showing the moment you lose the BuyBox. Someone has to watch bids, keywords, prices and stock together, every week, for every country.

Issues we often find in audits:

• Preset campaigns left running with all products and no negative keywords.
• Campaigns on Kaufland.de only, with no plan for other marketplaces where the products are already listed.
• Ads on products that rarely hold the BuyBox, so budget is set but little is shown.
• Reports read at campaign level only, with no search term or EAN analysis.

How does Kaufland ads management work with EcommTech?

We work in four steps, starting with a free audit. You stay in control of your Seller Portal and ad budget throughout.

1. Free audit: we review your campaigns, search term reports, listings and BuyBox status, and send a written audit within 3 working days.
2. Plan and fixed fee: we agree the marketplaces, products, target ACoS, budget range and a fixed monthly fee in writing.
3. Access and build: you add us as a user in the Seller Portal with the permissions needed, never a shared password, and we restructure or launch the campaigns.
4. Optimise and report: weekly bid, keyword and product changes, weekly reports and a monthly review with your named account manager.

How does KauflandTracker support your ads?

KauflandTracker is a rank tracker for Kaufland sellers that EcommTech built itself. We use it to see where your products rank organically for the keywords you pay for, so ads support lasting visibility rather than replace it.

• Track keyword positions for advertised and non-advertised products.
• Lower bids where a product already ranks strongly on its own.
• Find keywords where you sit just off the first page and a short ad push can help.

Frequently asked questions

How much do Kaufland ads cost?

Kaufland charges per click, using a second-price auction with a minimum bid of €0.01. You set the budget and maximum bids. Our management fee is separate, fixed and agreed in writing.

Can you run Kaufland ads in more than one country?

Yes. Kaufland requires separate campaigns for each marketplace, so we plan and report each country on its own, with keywords in the local language.

Can I use Sponsored Brand Ads?

Only as a verified brand owner or authorised partner. Kaufland asks for a trademark register entry or signed authorisation and reviews it before granting access. We can help prepare the request.

Do you need my Kaufland password?

No. You add us as a user in the Seller Portal with the access we need, and you can remove it at any time.
