Wasted-Spend Sweeper · Amazon Ads Skill

Every wasted keyword, ranked by what it cost you — with the fix already written.

Free TrackIQ skill. It reads your Sponsored Products export and finds the keywords that spent and sold nothing, the ones priced above what they return, and the duplicates bidding against each other.

You get back a bulk-operations workbook with every campaign, ad group and keyword ID attached, and a one-page summary of what is being cut and why.

Where the money actually leaks

Four pools of spend, ranked by what they cost you.

One free skill. Your keyword report. Every row priced against your own break-even.

Below break-even

The big one, and the one nobody ranks first.

Keywords that convert but are priced wrong. Ranked by spend above break-even value, not by ACOS, so the expensive problem sorts above the loud one. The fix is a bid cut, not a pause.

Duplicate keywords

The same keyword bidding against itself.

One keyword live in several ad groups, competing with its own copies. The skill keeps the placement with the best return and lists the losers, but only when the winner clears break-even.

Spent, sold nothing

Usually the smallest pool, despite the reputation.

Enabled keywords with spend and zero orders. The state filter matters: most zero-order keywords are already paused, and a list full of those is how a report loses its reader.

Real output, real insights

What you actually get back: a workbook you can upload, not a lecture.

Drop in a Sponsored Products bulk or search-term export that carries campaign, ad group and keyword IDs (or connect the TrackIQ MCP). Tell it your break-even ROAS once. It sorts every enabled keyword into the four pools, prices each one against break-even, and writes the bulk-operations workbook.

  • The keywords that spent real money and returned nothing, with the already-paused ones filtered out
  • The keywords that convert but are priced above what they return, ranked by spend above break-even
  • A suggested new bid for each of those, scaled by how far short it came, floored at a 50% cut
  • The same keyword duplicated across ad groups, bidding against itself
  • Search terms worth negating, and the ad group to negate them in
  • A bulk-operations workbook with every ID attached, plus a one-page summary of the cut

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers.

Is this really free?

Yes. The skill is free and open source. We built it because most PPC cleanups start with the wrong pool.

What do I need?

A Sponsored Products bulk or search-term export that carries campaign, ad group and keyword IDs, your break-even ROAS, and Claude or ChatGPT. No TrackIQ account is required to run it from an export.

Why do you need my break-even ROAS?

Because every verdict depends on it and it cannot be derived from ad data — it comes from your product margin. The skill asks once and will not guess.

Will it change my campaigns?

No. It produces a bulk-operations workbook and a summary. You review it and upload it to Amazon yourself, so nothing moves without you.

Can I modify it?

Yes. The pools, the floor, the bid formula and the checks are plain files you can edit.

Is my data sent to TrackIQ?

Not when you run it from an export. The file goes into your own Claude or ChatGPT, not into a TrackIQ app. If you connect the TrackIQ MCP instead, it reads your Amazon Ads account through TrackIQ.

Find the spend that bought you nothing.

Download the free skill. Import it. Run your keyword export.

In minutes you’ll have a ranked list of what to pause, what to re-bid and what to consolidate — as a file you can upload.
