Walmart Connect Advertising

Full-service Walmart Connect ad management across Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Display. We build campaigns on Walmart's ad platform that drive ROAS at scale, not wasted impressions on low-converting placements.

Walmart Connect Is Not Amazon PPC. We Build for the Difference.

Walmart Connect (formerly Walmart Media Group) operates on a fundamentally different auction model than Amazon. The bidding system uses a first-price auction, meaning you pay exactly what you bid, not one cent above the next highest bidder. Brands that import their Amazon bid logic into Walmart overpay on every click.

First-price auction means bid precision matters more than bid volume.

Walmart's attribution window is also shorter than Amazon's, using a 14-day click attribution and 1-day view attribution model for Sponsored Products. Understanding these differences is the difference between a profitable Walmart ad account and one that bleeds budget. We structure campaigns around Walmart's unique search algorithm, placement types, and keyword match behavior from day one.
