Why this matters

We manage over $100M in Amazon sales.
We know what good looks like.

And most accounts we see aren't there yet. The audit puts numbers against your account, your products, your category, not generic benchmarks.

02
The blind spot

Your ad console isn't lying. It's just not showing you everything.

Same account, same 60 days, read two ways. This is why blended metrics can look fine while there's real money on the table.

03
Five common mistakes

Most brands running Amazon ads are making at least one of these five mistakes

The audit puts numbers against all of this, specifically for your account, your products, your category.

1

You're using only one or two ad types

While competitors quietly own the placements you're ignoring. Brands that add a single new ad type typically see 10%+ uplift in ad sales within a month.

Uplift opportunity
2

Your wasted spend is far higher than you think

We regularly see 50-70% of ad spend going to clicks that never convert. The acceptable range is 20-25%. Everything above that is cash you're handing Amazon for nothing.

Wasted spend
3

Your branded performance is flattering your real numbers

Branded search converts 3-5x higher than unbranded. On blended metrics, your true ACoS on new customer acquisition could be double what you think.

Hidden true ACoS
4

Your campaign structure is high level

Too many SKUs grouped in the same campaign, when they have different price points, contribution margins and objectives.

Structure gap
5

Your bids aren't connected to your margin

Amazon doesn't know your contribution margin or your targets, it just wants you to spend more. Without profit-first bid management, you're flying blind.

Profit blind spot

Your 60 days of data

What Seb does with your 60 days of data

In a single 60-minute call, we walk you through five analytical views of your account that most brands have never seen.

1

Ad Type Distribution

What types of ads you're running and how much revenue comes from each, benchmarked against your competitors. The cheapest clicks are often the ad types you're not using yet.

2

Branded vs. Unbranded Performance

The most revealing view in the audit. Branded terms convert 3-5x better and flatter your blended metrics. We strip branded out and show your true cost to acquire a new customer.

3

Wasted Spend and Campaign Structure

Of your total ad spend, how much actually resulted in a sale, broken down by Exact, Product, Research/Broad and Auto, with exactly where the leakage is and how to plug it.

4

Search Term Efficiency by ACoS Bucket

Of the spend that is converting, which terms are working hard and which are quietly bleeding you dry, grouped so you see where to push and where to pull back at a glance.

5

Market Share

How much of the available market share on your key terms you're actually capturing, quantified in dollars, with the incremental spend required to close the gap.

For larger brands

The audit is just the beginning

This audit runs on 60 days of data. For brands doing significant volume, there's a deeper layer: the Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) Audit, up to two years of history, true new-to-brand acquisition cost, lifetime value, gateway ASINs and the path to a customer's second purchase. Very few agencies in Australia run it.

"The data is the easy part. The read is where the growth is, that's what we'll dig into on the call."

Ask Seb about AMC

We used to charge $500 for this

Now it's free. Here's why.

We're better at it now, faster at it, and we'd rather lead with value than ask you to take a leap of faith. If the audit shows we can help, we'll put a proposal together. If it doesn't, you'll still walk away knowing more about your Amazon ads than you did before. That's a good deal either way.

Questions?

What brands usually ask

How long does the whole process take?

Once you book a 30-minute intro call, Seb confirms the audit makes sense and walks through the access he needs. The audit itself takes about a week to prepare, and the results call is 60 minutes. First contact to full picture in hand, roughly 10 days.

What data do you need from us?

Just read-only access to your Amazon Advertising Console. No P&L, no internal pricing, no spreadsheets. Seb walks you through granting access on the intro call, it takes about two minutes.

Is my data secure?

Completely. Access is read-only, scoped to the reporting views needed, and revoked once the work is complete. NDAs are available on request.

We don't have budget for an agency right now.

That's often exactly why the audit is valuable, until you know where current spend is going, it's hard to know what budget is actually needed. If there's a case for working together, we'll build an ROI forecast showing when you'd break even.

We're already happy with our results.

Great, the audit will confirm it. In 200+ audits we've never seen an account without at least one material growth opportunity. Best case, you find money on the table. Worst case, validation you're on the right track.

Who is the report shared with?

Just with you, and whoever else you'd like to see it. We're here to make you look good in your role, finding problems is the point, because that's where the growth is.

Complimentary, data-backed, and built to show you something your own reporting can't. No obligation.
