Amazon sales not growing the way they should?

Most sellers jump straight into ad spend or new products…

But smart sellers stop and ask:

“Where’s the actual leak?”

Because not every problem is a traffic problem.

Sometimes you don’t need more visitors—you need to convert or retain the ones you already have..

👁️ Here’s How to Diagnose Your Store in 5 Minutes:

✅ 1. Traffic Problem

🔍 Sessions are low

🔍 Your best keywords have dropped in rank

🔍 Ads are paused or under-optimized

📌 You don’t have enough eyes on your listing.

✅ 2. Conversion Problem

🔍 Sessions are fine, but sales are flat

🔍 CVR < 10%

🔍 Return rate or “Did not match description” reviews rising

📌 You have traffic, but it’s not converting. Listing issues are likely.

✅ 3. Retention Problem

🔍 You have high one-time order volume but no repeat buyers

🔍 No retargeting or email flows in place

🔍 LTV is static

📌 You’re spending to acquire but not re-engaging.
