What it finds

Three kinds of waste,
found and ranked.

Zero-sale search terms

Terms that spent real money and returned zero orders. The exact list of negatives to add today.

High-ACoS terms

Terms running above your target ACoS, dragging down the profitability of otherwise healthy campaigns.

Under-performing campaigns

Low impression share, poor structure, and campaigns spending without a return — flagged for restructuring.

Typical finding

15–30% of PPC spend
on zero-sale terms.

That's what we typically find in accounts we diagnose for the first time. Not because sellers are careless — because finding it by hand across hundreds of terms is nearly impossible. SellerQI does it in minutes.

FAQ

Questions
answered.

How does SellerQI find wasted ad spend?
It connects to the Amazon Advertising API, analyses every search term across your campaigns over a 30-day window, and ranks them by wasted spend and ACoS against your targets.
What counts as a "zero-sale" term?
A search term that accumulated ad spend over the analysis window but produced zero orders.
Does SellerQI add negatives for me?
No. SellerQI gives you the exact list ranked by waste; you add the negatives so you stay in control of your campaigns.
How much do sellers usually recover?
Accounts we diagnose for the first time typically have 15–30% of PPC spend going to zero-sale terms.
How often is PPC re-scanned?
Every 24 hours, so new waste is caught as campaigns evolve.
Does it work for Sponsored Products, Brands, and Display?
It analyses your search-term and campaign data from the Advertising API to surface waste and high-ACoS terms.
Will this hurt my ranking if I cut terms?
SellerQI flags zero-sale and high-ACoS terms specifically — cutting waste protects budget for the keywords that actually convert.
Is the PPC audit included in the trial?
Yes. It runs during your 7-day free trial.
