For Amazon FBA brands — solo operator or full team

The reason your Amazon account isn't growing is usually not where you're looking.

Flat and can't tell why? ACoS creeping, spend leaking? It's almost always one or two real constraints hiding in plain sight. After 5 years running marketing for FBA brands doing $10M+/yr, I find the actual one — fix it — and build the system that keeps the account growing.

Solo operator or a full team — owners from ~$30K/month to eight figures. You make the decisions and keep the system; I run it.

Real constraints — found and fixed

Three stuck accounts. Three fixes that moved them.

Restructured the ads — grew sales, cut waste.

One account, ~$30–50K/mo. I rebuilt the ad structure and set it on auto-pilot. In a quarter: monthly PPC sales $4.7K → $8.3K, ACoS 53% → 33% — growth and efficiency at once.

Traced it to returns — rebuilt the listing.

Profit had dropped ~95%. Not the ads: a returns problem on one hero product was crushing search rank. New listing shipped — day one, its share of the line hit an all-time high.

Overruled my own tool — saved the design cycle.

My tool flagged the wrong product for a creative rebuild. I fixed its benchmark, the verdict flipped, and the design budget went to the product that actually needed it — a visibility fix, not a creative one.

Each one started the same way: finding the real constraint. That's the $497 review — a written read on which fix your account needs. The build comes after, only if you want it.

How I fix what I find

Find the real constraint. Then build the system that keeps it fixed.

Once I find what's holding the account back, I build the system that fixes it — ads, listings, a launch, or reporting. Helm is the full set, connected, with a weekly rhythm so you always know what moved. Built around your business, not generic software.

Live — in production

Creative Engine

Produces a listing's whole visual surface — gallery, A+, Brand Story, mobile set — at agency quality, in days. Works for 1 listing or 100.

Live — in production

Launch Engine

Everything a new product launch needs, produced as one coordinated push: keyword targets, the listing build, launch-phase ads, a week-by-week ramp plan.

Installing — first client slots

PPC Engine

Your ads operation as a system: campaign structure, bid and negative management on a cadence, search-term mining, a weekly readout you can actually act on.

Not sure it's the ads? Start with a review

Waitlist

Analysis Engine

Profit, TACOS, inventory and anomaly reporting as your own system — your numbers, in your hands, not another tool subscription.

Plain English: an install is the one-time build of an Engine into your account and workflows. The run fee is the monthly subscription that keeps it monitored, maintained, and current when Amazon changes things. You own the structure; the system does the hours.

A slice of the review — the ads lens

If you can't answer these, your ads are leaking.

Real questions from the review, in your numbers — not generic advice. Switch to how your ads actually get run:

You're afraid to touch the campaigns that "kind of work"

So bids and budgets haven't been rebalanced in months — the leaks just compound.

Your search-term report is a graveyard you never visit

High-click, zero-sale terms stay live because no one has time to mine and negate them weekly.

Auto campaigns are funding your competitors' keywords

The broad-match harvest was never turned into structured exact/phrase — so spend leaks into junk.

You're guessing at bids instead of reading the data

Placements and bid strategy left on Amazon's defaults — because no one knows what "good" is for your category.

There's no cadence — it's whatever you get to Sunday night

Optimization happens in panic bursts after a bad week, not on a system, so small leaks run for months.

ACOS looks fine but you can't explain why sales are flat

You're staring at a number with no category context to know if it's excellent or quietly terrible.

You can't tell if they're managing the account or just narrating it

The monthly report is a deck of metrics that already happened — no before/after of what actually changed.

The senior who pitched you isn't the one touching your account

A few months in you're on your third junior manager — each one undoing the last one's setup.

Their incentive is your ad spend, not your profit

Billing on a % of spend rewards them when you spend more — not when your TACOS comes down.

Impressions are "up" — your bank balance isn't

Vanity metrics get the spotlight while margin-eating ACOS and rising TACOS stay out of the recap.

The same playbook for every client, in every category

Weekly bid tweaks follow a generic SOP — no strategy tied to your launch, defend, or scale goals.

You're scared to fire them — Monday morning is a black hole

$1.5–3K/mo plus tools for a black box, and switching means starting from zero visibility into your own account.

How the review works

Find the real constraint in 5 days. No account access needed, ever.

1

You send exports + a short call

A few report exports (I send the exact clicks) and a 30-minute talk about how the work gets done.

2

I find the constraint

I read your numbers and pinpoint the one or two things capping growth — across ads, listings, catalog and ops.

3

You get the written read

The real constraint, what it's costing, and what to fix first — plus a walkthrough call. Yours to keep, either way.

The ladder · real prices, posted

Start with a review. Build the systems when it pays.

The review finds what's capping growth. Then I build and run the systems that fix it. Every rung but the top is fixed-scope, fixed-price, and posted — no "book a call to hear a number." Your review fee comes off the next step within 60 days.

A written read in 5 days — what's capping growth, and what to fix first. It runs on your own exported reports and public data: no Seller Central access. Already have an agency or team? This runs alongside them, zero disruption — not a pitch to replace anyone.

Rung 1 · start here · no account access

A paid account review

I look at your account and how the work gets done, and hand you a written read of the one or two things actually capping your growth — across ads, listings, catalog and operations — and what to fix first. Go further with me and this fee comes off the next step.
