The Problem

Small Amazon sellers often manage SKU profitability, PPC performance, keyword ranking, listing quality, reviews, price, fees, freight, and conversion rate in disconnected spreadsheets. The signals show a repeated workflow: review product metrics every week, compare them against expected ranges, identify the metric causing underperformance, and decide whether to change price, listing content, bids, keywords, or reviews strategy. This is tedious, error-prone, and especially painful for low-price products where ad waste quickly destroys margin.

Potential Solution

Build a SaaS tool that imports Amazon Seller Central and Amazon Ads data, then creates a weekly SKU-level profit leak report. The first version can calculate contribution margin, ACOS thresholds, conversion rate changes, keyword waste, review gaps, and price competitiveness, then recommend concrete actions such as raise bid, lower price, negative-match a keyword, update listing fields, or investigate FBA fees. The product surface is a SKU dashboard with alerts, drilldowns, and a recurring weekly email summary.

Why Now?

Amazon ads are now central to organic ranking and seller profitability, while many smaller sellers still rely on spreadsheets and fragmented reports. Rising ad costs make weekly profit-leak detection more urgent for low-AOV and private-label sellers.

Stop Ignoring Your Amazon Business Reports
r/AgencyGrowthHacksJun 30, 2026

Many sellers check revenue every day but rarely explore Business Reports. Those reports reveal: * Which products attract traffic * Which listings fail to convert * Where customers leave * Which ASINs deserve more advertising The numbers often tell a story your sales dashboard doesn't.

your product will then become profitable even you know even with the same or more ad spend you could still become profitable you guys see how you can do that i'm hoping you do because a spreadsheet like this when i first started we had a rudimentary version of this had no idea how much ads would cost because we didn't know how ads even worked at the time like amazon was still trying to figure out ads now we can start to put these things together and it's almost like a road map sure you're just looking at numbers and you might not understand like what's the fix and what's you know how to actually adjust these things but just like i said maybe you just raise a dollar maybe you get better cost of goods maybe you spend less on ads these are the fixes then it'll show you whether or not you're going to be profitable right so hopefully that makes sense to everybody if anybody's confused i would highly suggest you know watching this part of the replay again so you can understand it but again these are the things that you need to do in your business to look at you know the actual numbers so you can get you know better at growing your business the right way because that makes sense to everybody so do you guys see how you can find the profit leaks in your business by analyzing your current products you see how you can do that just by looking over what is actually uh you know in the numbers like you have to analyze the data this is the thing that people don't tell you when you start selling on amazon it's a real business i'm not here to blow smoke up your butt guys i want you to understand this is a real business if you had a real business you'd be analyzing each product on your menu each thing that you bring in the door what the sales prices are how many people are buying it all that stuff you would be doing this just because you have an online business doesn't mean you stop doing this you have to keep doing the same things that you would do in any other business so hopefully you guys can see how this will actually fix those leaks in your business by analyzing those products now you have to actually figure out what to fix with the products right so let's go into that so if you're fixing your listing issues so this is you know your products aren't working maybe your conversion rate's not working let's talk about that first thing you have to do make sure to track the

it here's the benefit and then show them somebody using it in that way you'll have a much better conversion rate and people will trust that product a lot more than ones that don't look at your keyword ranking on main keywords if you're not on page one you probably need to advertise to get there stop thinking that advertising is a waste of money it's the only way to start to get into the places where you need to be if you're not currently there look at your ad campaigns are you bidding enough to get clicks each day so if you're not getting clicks in your ad campaigns bid higher right like if you're only spending you know 15 cents per bid on all your keywords well you don't have any clicks raise the bids you need to get there right you need to be seen look at your back-end keywords so these are the things you put into the you know back-end editor for amazon's listings do you have your main keywords and other relevant keywords in the applicable fields so title bullet points product description generic keywords whatever they call them search terms whatever the term is now all those things need to be filled in a huge one look at your price are you offering a competitive price to the best sellers of that same type of product now i'm not saying you have to sell at five dollars because there will be chinese manufacturers that just go on and put prices at like five six dollars what i am selling is for the branded products the ones that people trust the ones that people will buy are you selling at a price that's competitive one dollar below at their price one dollar above somewhere in that range you need to be selling it you can't be selling it you know ten dollars above and expect them to you know come in and buy you because the best sellers are already you know selling ten dollars below and people trust that one so why would they buy you a seller that they don't trust about a product they don't trust for ten dollars more you'd have to have a really really good proposition for that look at your reviews and star ratings do you have more than 50 reviews with a star rating you know at or above your competition usually 4. 5 anything above that is it's really good people trust those types of products but you need to have a decent amount of reviews as well if you spot something that

metrics of your products the key metrics so sessions units sold unit sessions percentage or what we call conversion rate add clicks add sales add spend best sellers rating which is basically telling you how good you're doing in that that uh niche your main keyword ranking so when somebody searches you know whatever it might be you know garden shovel on amazon where do you rank on amazon when they when those come up without the sponsored searches the fba pick and pack fee your product cost your freight all that stuff you have to know these numbers and you have to put it into a spreadsheet these are things that i do every week i show my clients how to do it they actually figure it out they understand it they know that if their conversion rate drops and they need to do something maybe lower their price or do whatever let's talk about that look at the data over the past 30 to 60 days and see what seems off or worse than expected so is your conversion rate really low for your price point we'll talk about that in a second or you know maybe your sessions are just not you're not getting enough people to your page how do you fix that right put a plan together to fix that particular metric anytime you see something off or you see like well if this thing's going to not cause me to get to where i want to go i need to fix that data point and the way that you can do that we'll talk about it today okay for example if your conversion rate is low lower your price update your bullet points update your titles update your images or get more reviews or better reviews all those things help your conversion rate if your keyword ranking is low check your listing to see if you include those phrases in your listing front and back so there's a you know you have to put all the information into the amazon database in this like back-end editor and you have to put in all your main keywords you have to put them in your title your bullet points all this stuff right so these are things that you need to do to make yourself get free traffic to your listings you do this you have a better chance of getting free traffic and that's where you want people to show up obviously you still have to advertise on those on those keywords as well but you need as much relevancy from your actual listing that you can

keywords in it you want those to also have performance indicator metrics points so for products you know it's very similar to the the products themselves but for the campaign overall you might have a 20 to 35 percent for products under 10 20 to 40 for products between 10 and 20 and same thing for basically pretty much anything over that price 20 to 40 percent you stay in that ideal campaign a cost you should be making money over and over and over again so one thing i want you to know is if you've ever tried to run your own ads again a lot of you guys might be starting out but if you ever get to the point where you're trying to run ads and you're taking advice from a lot of amazon ad experts out there they'll tell you not to negative match bad keywords and campaigns or you might just think i'm too an experience i don't want to negative match anything a negative match means say like you're selling a garden shovel but the phrase garden shovel long handle doesn't convert very well or you get 50 clicks and no sales well negative match that negative exact match that out of your campaign you don't have to do it for every campaign but for ones it's not working on yes you can take it out even if it's a main keyword just take it out because it's not ever going to get you sales it's going to just keep costing you money and this is another big one no you should not remove good performing keywords from any campaign do not remove good performing keywords from any campaigns even if you're moving it to another campaign i know i'm probably going to open a can of worms out there in the amazon community especially with a lot of you know experts ad experts out there basically what they're trying to tell you is that if you have a really good you know garden garden shovel with long handle and it's you know performing really well in your auto campaign and getting you sales every single month they'll say take it out of that auto campaign put it in your exact match campaign so that way you don't compete against yourself and shut it off and don't keep it on for any other campaign i'm telling you absolutely that's wrong because what if it doesn't work on the exact match campaign the same way it did in the auto campaign in fact it's almost guaranteed not to work that way so don't shut it off let it run you're not competing against yourself
