    #556 - How to Audit Your Amazon Listing With AI

    Is your Amazon listing leaving sales behind? Learn how to uncover missing keywords, analyze competitors, use AI, and optimize your listing for stronger rankings, ads, and Q4 sales this year. Is your Amazon listing truly optimized, or are missing keywords quietly costing you traffic and sales? In this episode, Bradley Sutton walks through a complete Amazon listing audit designed to help sellers prepare for Q4 and beyond. Using an underperforming handwriting workbook as a real-world example, he reveals how to identify the right competitors, uncover valuable keyword opportunities, and determine exactly where an existing listing is falling short.   Bradley demonstrates how to build a comprehensive keyword bank using Amazon Brand Analytics, Search Query Performance, Cerebro, historical rankings, and competitors’ sponsored placements. He also explains how to narrow hundreds of results into the 20 to 30 phrases that matter most based on sales history, search volume, competitive performance, and relevance. By incorporating these phrases naturally, sellers can improve how Amazon understands their products and increase their potential to rank organically and perform better in advertising.   The episode also explores how Helium 10’s MCP, tools, and the AI Agent can accelerate listing optimization. Bradley uses Listing Builder’s AI workflow to generate a stronger title, bullet points, item highlights, and product description, significantly improving the listing’s keyword coverage and competitive score. He also shares ways to use customer reviews, TikTok Shop Review Insights, and common Alexa shopping questions to ensure the copy addresses the benefits and concerns shoppers care about most.   Whether you manage one important product or dozens of listings, this workflow provides a clear path toward stronger optimization. AI can make the process faster, but the biggest results come from combining technology with thoughtful competitor selection, reliable keyword data, and human judgment. Audit your listings now, uncover the opportunities you have been missing, and give your products a stronger foundation for lasting growth.

    #555 - An Amazon Title Glitch NO ONE Is Talking About! & Amazon PPC On ChatGPT? | Weekly Buzz 9/17/26

    Amazon title changes could cost sellers thousands. Plus, Prime Big Deal Days are announced, and ChatGPT advertising may be coming soon. Get this week’s top e-commerce news.   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.   Huge Potential Amazon Title Issue! Amazon may hide brand names from product titles in search results, which can hurt conversions when the brand name contains a product’s main keyword. Bradley discovered that removing “Hemp” from one listing coincided with its conversion rate and daily sales dropping by nearly half. Sellers should check their listings and, if affected, add the missing keyword separately within the title as a workaround. Amazon Ads announces new integration to support advertising in ChatGPT https://advertising.amazon.com/en-us/library/news/amazon-ads-chat-gpt-advertising-integration/ Amazon Seller Central News: Prepare for Prime Big Deal Days: October 6-7 https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-news/articles/QVRWUERLSUtYMERFUiNHM1o0NjM0UkZTRVdCRjY2 Amazon Seller Central News: New requirements for product bundles starting January 11 https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-news/articles/QVRWUERLSUtYMERFUiNHUk1IN1M4NDJIWkwzUktZ Get inventory to the East Coast faster with Standard Ocean Express https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-news/articles/QVRWUERLSUtYMERFUiNHWEpVOUNYRjg0QTRQRThX Interested in Amazon Global Logistics?

    #552 - The Best MCP Skills & Prompts We’ve Seen Yet!

    Turn hours of Amazon research into minutes with these Helium 10 MCP prompts and skills that uncover keyword gaps, ad opportunities, product risks, and smarter ways to grow your e-commerce business faster. What if hours of Amazon research could be completed in just a few minutes? In this episode, Bradley Sutton explores how sellers can utilize Claude Skills and Prompts with the Helium 10 MCP to streamline complicated workflows involving Cerebro, Keyword Tracker, Brand Analytics, Search Query Performance, Profits, and Ads. Instead of downloading reports and comparing spreadsheets manually, sellers can use a single prompt to uncover competitor strategies, seasonal keywords, organic ranking gaps, and overlooked advertising opportunities.   Bradley also explains how reusable AI skills can take this automation even further. He demonstrates an Amazon Recommended Rank skill that reveals how Amazon interprets a product and which keywords it considers most relevant. This can help sellers understand why a listing is struggling to receive impressions, discover valuable keywords with no organic placement, and identify stronger advertising opportunities based on Amazon’s own relevancy data.   The episode also highlights creative submissions from the Helium 10 MCP Skills and Prompts hackathon contest. These include tools for diagnosing product performance, completing in-depth ASIN teardowns, analyzing Search Query Performance data, researching keywords across multiple marketplaces, reallocating advertising spend based on organic rankings, and scoring new product opportunities. Each example shows how sellers can transform fragmented data into clear reports, visual dashboards, and prioritized actions.   The biggest opportunity, however, is not simply copying somebody else’s workflow. It is creating prompts and skills designed around the exact needs of your business. Whether you want to audit advertising performance, monitor keyword rankings, automate monthly inventory reporting, or evaluate your next product idea, AI can help you make faster and better-informed decisions. Start building your own workflows today, because the sellers who learn to turn data into action will be the ones best prepared to grow tomorrow. PS.

    #550 - This TikTok Shop Lost 96% of Its Sales

    Why did a TikTok Shop brand lose 96% of its sales? Discover what went wrong and the creator strategy being used to revive it, rebuild momentum, and drive more Amazon sales. What happens when a TikTok Shop brand generating approximately $200,000 per month suddenly loses 96% of its sales? In this episode, Bradley Sutton welcomes Chris Lyell, CEO of Octane Labs, to examine the dramatic decline of Grooved Learning and reveal the strategy his team is using to rebuild it. After falling to around $8,000 in monthly revenue, the brand provides a powerful case study of how quickly momentum can disappear when a TikTok Shop content engine stops running. Chris discovered that the product itself was not the problem. The brand’s leading creators had moved on or been recruited by competitors, communication with affiliates had slowed, older videos were no longer converting, and its advertising campaigns were configured incorrectly. Meanwhile, less expensive competitors continued publishing fresh content and capturing more of the market. To restart the engine, Chris and his team are producing 100 UGC videos with 100 different creators, re-engaging the brand’s former top performers, and creating contests that encourage affiliates to turn one product sample into multiple videos.   The conversation also breaks down how new brands can generate their first TikTok Shop sales without an established creator network. Chris explains how paid creator platforms can help sellers build an initial library of content, create social proof, and attract more experienced affiliates. He also shares how to write concise creator briefs, structure commissions, use targeted collaborations instead of crowded direct messages, and continually feed fresh content into GMV Max campaigns. Without that steady flow of new videos, even successful TikTok Shop listings can lose momentum within weeks.   TikTok’s impact can extend far beyond sales completed on the platform. Chris has seen branded Amazon searches increase by 600% to 700% after products gained attention on TikTok, helping sellers reduce PPC dependence and improve their overall margins. The lesson is clear: TikTok Shop success is not built on one viral video. It comes from creating a repeatable system that supports creators, produces content consistently, and turns attention into momentum across every sales channel. Build the engine, keep fueling it, and even a struggling brand can find its way back to growth. In episode 550 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley and Chris discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 02:27 - How TikTok Reduced Amazon TACoS Below 4% 06:03 - The TikTok Shop Brand That Lost 96% Of Its Sales 08:34 - Why The Brand’s Creator And Advertising Engine Collapsed 12:40 - The Recovery Plan To Win Creators Back 15:55 - Producing 100 UGC Videos With 100 Creators 18:45 - Building Creator Momentum From A Cold Start 23:45 - Using Creator Purchases To Generate Social Proof 27:25 - Why Fresh Content Is Essential For GMV Max 32:42 - Automatic Versus Manual GMV Max Campaigns 36:39 - Targeted Collaborations Versus Direct Messages 38:55 - Structuring Commissions And Managing Product Samples 43:11 - How TikTok Shop Sales Create An Amazon Halo Effect
