    #502 - Amazon Strategies Top Sellers Only Share Behind Closed Doors

    In this episode, let’s talk about advanced Amazon seller strategies that are discussed only in private. We pull back the curtain on what elite sellers are quietly doing and what you should start testing next. Most sellers focus on the obvious levers, ads, keywords, and pricing, while the real winners quietly play a different game. In this AM/PM episode, Bradley Sutton and 8-figure seller Leo Sgovio unpack the strategies top Amazon sellers rarely say out loud, from backend ranking fixes to AI-driven creative and off-Amazon intel.   Leo breaks down how Amazon browse tree changes can silently wreck rankings, and how to repair it using Category Listing Reports plus the BrowseTree Guide so your attributes match what Amazon actually accepts. Then he shows how some sellers “launch” with huge review counts by consolidating variations and even leveraging international review history. From there, the episode shifts into speed: AI tools to generate better hero images, systems to make your site crawlable for LLMs, and how press releases can help you appear in Google AI Overviews faster than traditional SEO.   Finally, Leo goes outside Amazon: using Reddit for GEO, finding Shopify winners by tracking checkout traffic, and reverse-engineering competitor funnels through the Meta Ad Library and presell pages. He closes with a warning every brand should hear: a black-hat cloaking attack that can suppress your Buy Box. If you want tactics you can apply today and threats you need to defend against tomorrow, this one is a must-listen. In episode 502 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley and Leo discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 02:34 - Strategy 1: How To Fix Your Tanked Rankings Due To A Wrong Product Categorization 12:11 - Strategy 2: How To Uncover Your Competitor Just Launched a Product with 100+ Reviews 17:02 - Strategy 3: Quickly Brainstorm New Hero Image with this Gemini Gem 19:35 - Strategy 4: Enable your Website to be Indexed by LLMs with this Automated GPT 24:09 - Strategy 5: Show Up in Google AI Overview in 7 Days 27:18 - Strategy 6: Where to Find Inspiration for your Product Creatives and Listing Images 31:38 - Strategy 7: Dominate Reddit for AEO/GEO 36:56 - Strategy 8: Discover Shopify's Top Selling Stores 40:24 - Strategy 9: Exploiting Competitors Outside Traffic Funnels 45:48 - How to get more Advanced Strategies Monthly 53:56 - Strategy 10: How to Control the Order of the Variations on your Listing 54:47 - Legal and Ethical Disclosure 54:57 - Threat Alert: Cloaking attack with fake retail pages can suppress your Buy Box, how it works, and what to watch for

    #501 - Meta Ends Credit Card Payments?! ChatGPT Beats Organic + Big Amazon MCF Update | Weekly Buzz 3/4/26

    Meta no longer accepts credit cards, ChatGPT is converting better than organic search, and Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment gets key updates plus more buzzing news in this week’s episode! We’re back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10’s Principal Brand Evangelist, Carrie Miller. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10’s newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level.   Meta Ends Credit Card Payments for DTC Ad Accounts—Amazon Next? https://www.ecomcrew.com/meta-ends-credit-card-payments-dtc-advertisers/ A new analysis of 94 e-commerce sites found ChatGPT referral traffic converts 31% higher than non-branded organic search (1.81% vs 1.39%), driven by stronger buyer intent from AI-assisted shoppers. While AI traffic volume is still small, it’s growing fast, making AEO/LLM optimization (structured content, FAQs, and schema) an early-mover advantage rather than a replacement for SEO. Helium 10’s new Listing Builder AI is now available to Diamond members and is built to save major time by pulling keywords from multiple sources and generating an optimized listing with AI—complete with an SEO score and the option to match the tone/style of a listing you like.

    #500 - Big Amazon Review Change? & AM/PM 500th Episode | Weekly Buzz 2/27/26

    Amazon may be testing a major review change, with some shoppers seeing only 10 reviews unless they apply for more. Amazon clarifies its multiple account policy. Plus, it’s Episode 500 of the AM/PM Podcast! We’re back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10’s VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10’s newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level. In this episode, we’re switching things up with a fresh new look, and it’s the perfect time because this is Episode 500 of the AM/PM Podcast! Join us for a quick trip down memory lane as we celebrate nearly 10 years of the AM/PM Podcast and keep Manny Coats’ classic “How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think.” spirit alive. Amazon reviews might be acting weird again, and it could be more than just the usual “dog page” error some shoppers have seen for months. In this week’s first story, Bradley shares a new test showing up on certain customer accounts where you can only view 10 reviews and then have to “apply” to see more, with Amazon promising an email response within five business days. If this expands, it could push more shoppers toward Rufus-style review summaries rather than reading reviews directly, and it could significantly impact how sellers and tools analyze review data. Especially after Amazon’s crackdown that removed Helium 10’s Review Insights. The good news: the Helium 10 team is working on a new, fully “Amazon-compliant” version that still provides high-quality review insights, and Bradley asks viewers to share in the comments if they’re seeing the same review limits and whether they think it could roll out more widely.

Amazon has clarified its multiple account policy. These stories and more on today's weekly buzz. Oh, by the way, this is episode 500 of the AM/PM podcast. How cool is that? Pretty cool. I think. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of the AM/PM podcast by Helium 10. I'm your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that is our Helium 10 Weekly Buzz where you give you a rundown of all the goings on in the Amazon Tik TOK shop and e-commerce world. We let you know what new features Helium 10 has, and we also give a training tip of the week.   Bradley Sutton: So let's get started and see what's buzzing. All right, guys, this is a new look. If you guys are watching this on the, our YouTube channel, uh, and the reason why we're doing something a little bit new, we're going to be testing out some new looks for the Weekly Buzz here because this is episode 500 actually of the AM/PM Podcast. Now, as you guys know, the, the Weekly Buzz has not been on the AM/PM podcast the whole time. It just actually started here a few months ago, but going back to the original guys, do you know when the very first ever AM/PM podcast was take a look here on a, it's on our YouTube channel for AM/PM podcasts. It was almost exactly 10 years ago.   Bradley Sutton: Guys, the first episode dropped or March 4, 2016 on YouTube and now here almost exactly 10 years later, we have episode 500. Now, you know, throughout the, the years, we have had a lot of episodes on the AM/PM podcast. It was actually, uh, around, uh, when was this looks like, uh, 2017 when we started doing a, uh, the special intro that Manny would do. And actually, if you notice, uh, since we took the AM/PM podcast, uh, as host back, you notice what we do something very similar. Uh, now also to try and keep the spirit of the origin of the AM/PM podcast. Remember guys, before Helium 10 was around, the AM/PM podcast was here, right?   Bradley Sutton: The AM/PM podcast predates the, uh, you know, Helium 10. And so this is a, a big legacy for us here. And we want to remember the legacy that, you know, the founder of the AM/PM podcast, Manny coats did. That's why we integrate some of his catchphrases. Like how cool is that? Pretty cool. I think. And some of the other like intros and things that, that, that he would do. So, uh, hope that we were able to, to keep the legacy. Now, interestingly enough, speaking about the Weekly Buzz, the very first time we uploaded Weekly Buzz on YouTube, I know we used to do it somewhere else too. We were doing it since like 2019. I can't find where those videos were uploaded.   Bradley Sutton: It might've been Facebook, but the first episode that we had launched of the Weekly Buzz on YouTube was actually three years ago on the Helium 10 channel, when we had different employees here at Helium 10, uh, doing a Weekly Buzzes. So we've come a long ways, guys, 500 episodes and I love doing the AM/PM podcast. And I love also doing the Weekly Buzz, letting you guys know what's buzzing.   Bradley Sutton: So let's go ahead and hop into our first news story of the week. This is something that could be a Red herring or a false alarm but Part of this hasn't going on for a while All right So for some of us as you guys know when you hit reviews on Amazon like here I'm in a Graceful by Design Bible verse mapping journal. I hit the review count, right? It goes to the bottom and I scroll down here and I hit see more reviews. I get a dog page. Bradley Sutton: All right, so a lot of people have this this has been going on for months but now, there's something new where in a lot of accounts not everybody But Amazon is doing something where it says you can only see 10 reviews and you have to apply to be able to see more. I can't do it on this browser But let me bring another window into the screen here just a moment But for other customers like here in my a

    #499 - Steal This 100 Orders A Day TikTok Shop Setup

    Build 100 TikTok Shop orders per day without messing up your Amazon sales. Our guest reveals what finally made it “click,” plus the mistakes that almost shut it down. If you’ve been wondering how to hit 100 TikTok Shop orders per day without cannibalizing your Amazon business, this TikTok Thursday episode is built for you. Host Shivali Patel sits down with Alina Vlaic, an Amazon seller, operator, and owner of the AZrank agency, who’s been deep in the trenches, to unpack what it takes to make TikTok Shop work consistently (not just a lucky spike).   Alina walks through the behind-the-scenes journey: what she focused on first, the signals that told her a product could win on TikTok, and the moments where things went sideways. On TikTok Shop, momentum can change fast. This episode gives you the mindset and the practical direction to test smarter, avoid common traps, and keep moving even when the platform throws curveballs.   If you want a repeatable system, not vague motivation, listen through and take notes. Then pick one action to implement today, because the sellers who win on TikTok Shop are not waiting for perfect clarity. They are testing while everyone else is still overthinking. In episode 499 of the AM/PM Podcast, Shivali and Alina discuss: 00:00 – Introduction 01:12 – Why Alina’s Known for Ranking and Indexing 04:16 – The 10-Point Practical Playbook (Amazon to TikTok Shop) 05:13 – The Proof: How They Hit Nearly $1,000/Day and 100 Orders/Day 06:27 – Key Setup: Linking TikTok Page & Shop for Shoppable Content 08:38 – Don’t Assume It’ll Work: How to Test Your Amazon Catalog Fast 11:39 – Content Strategy: Why Your Own Posting Still Matters 15:57 – The $2,000 GMV Unlock for More Creator Access 18:40 – The Drop: Violations That Crushed Visibility and Limited Orders 20:39 – The Fix: Using Tools to Escalate and Clear Violations 33:59 – Creative “Reverse Hook” Strategy  39:00 – Q&A

    #497 - Brand Metrics Reveals Your Amazon PPC Problems

    Are your Amazon ads “broken” or is it something else? In this episode, we share a simple audit that reveals what’s really killing performance and the first fix that usually changes everything. Most sellers assume Amazon PPC is the problem when the real bottleneck is often the offer. In this episode, Carrie Miller and Destaney Wishon walk through a quick, repeatable way to diagnose what’s actually holding growth back: bids, campaign structure, or your product detail page. The goal isn’t “optimize everything.” It’s to identify the one thing that’s breaking performance and fix that first.   Destaney starts with Amazon Advertising’s Brand Metrics Dashboard to compare your conversion rate and traffic vs your category. If your conversion rate is below the category median, PPC can drive clicks all day and still struggle—because you’re paying for traffic your listing can’t convert. She explains how category selection matters (sometimes you need to go broader to get better benchmarks) and why seasonality and market share shifts can fool you if you only look at your own numbers.   From there, the audit shifts into Amazon PPC fundamentals: avoid messy structures like mixed match types without a harvesting system, duplicative campaigns, and multiple ad groups that wreck budget control. The recommended approach is to use one campaign, one ad group, organized by strategy (traffic/rank vs. efficiency/profit). Then bid optimization becomes simpler: focus on the highest-spend targets first, make changes using the right attribution window (not hour-by-hour panic), and allocate budget intelligently—Sponsored Products as the core spend, with Sponsored Brands kept within a reasonable performance range. Stop guessing and start auditing. Hit play, run the same checklist on your account, and you’ll know exactly what to fix first so your next Amazon PPC change actually moves the needle.   In episode 497 of the AM/PM Podcast, Carrie and Destaney discuss: 00:00  – Introduction 01:00 – Are Your Amazon Ads Broken (Or Is It The Wrong Fix?) 02:21 – Start Here: Amazon Advertising Brand Metrics Dashboard 03:00 – PPC Only Works If Your Listing Converts 04:04 – Conversion Rate vs Category Median 05:22 – Traffic Opportunity: Detail Page Views vs Category 08:36 – Category Median vs Category Top 10:37 – Red Flag: Mixed Match Types Without Keyword Harvesting 13:28 – Structure Fix: One Campaign, One Ad Group  14:52 – Bid Optimization: The 80/20 Method 25:22 – How Often To Adjust Your Amazon PPC  28:17 – Budget Split: Sponsored Products vs Sponsored Brands 32:01 – Branded vs Non-Branded Budget

    #495 - The AI Workflow for Winning Amazon Main Images

    Still guessing on Amazon listing images? Today's guest shares a simple AI image workflow that makes decisions easy—what to fix first, what to test, and how to know it’ll win.   If your AI-generated Amazon images look “technically perfect” but still don’t convert, you’re not alone, and you’re not missing more prompts. In this AIM (AI Monthly) session, our Amazon creatives expert guest breaks down the real issue. AI and designers can execute, but they can’t decide strategy for you. That’s why sellers often spend thousands on creatives that look good, yet still fail to drive more clicks and sales.   Hannah Lyss Tampioc is the Founder and CEO of Mad Cat Creatives, and her team has worked with more than 300 brands. She walks through how shoppers actually buy on Amazon and explains why each image serves a different purpose. Your main image needs to stand out in mobile search results. Images two and three should help shoppers quickly understand what they’re getting. The rest of your images and A+ Content should build confidence by answering objections and removing hesitation. The key is figuring out whether you have a click problem or a conversion problem, then fixing the right part of your image stack instead of randomly “refreshing” everything.   The centerpiece of the episode is Hannah’s SORT framework. First, you spot the priority so you know what to fix first. Next, you gather the right context by pulling mobile search screenshots, competitor pages, reviews, and Rufus questions. Then you use that information to reason through the data, so your AI outputs are based on real buyer language instead of guesses. Finally, you test before committing by validating your image ideas with polling tools like the Helium 10 Audience tool, powered by PickFu, before you publish. You’ll also see a real example using Bradley Sutton’s Project X Coffin Shelf listing, where small changes like aspect ratio, mobile-first sizing, and packaging callouts helped the main image stand out more when it mattered most. By the end, you’ll know exactly what to fix first and how to follow a repeatable AI Amazon image workflow that confirms your next update will win before you publish. In episode 495 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley and Hannah discuss: 00:00 – Introduction 01:27 – The Missing Ingredient To Your Amazon Listing Images 02:31 – Meet Hannah & The “Named My Son Helium” Story 06:05 – The Real Issue: Strategy Beats Design + AI 09:02 – The Job Of Each Amazon Image Stack 11:17 – The SORT Framework Overview 11:41 – Click Problem vs Conversion Problem (What To Fix First) 12:23 – What To Gather Before You Design Anything 23:17 – Coffin Shelf Case Study: Mobile Size Wins 30:46 – ChatGPT Prompts & Gemini Image Generation Workflow 35:05 – “Main Image In 10 Minutes” & Gemini Tip 37:03 – Secondary Images: Use GPT For Briefs + Prompting 39:50 – Helium 10 Discount Code SSP20 + Q&A 42:04 – Where To Find Hannah (LinkedIn) & Mad Cat Creatives
