A thorough Amazon account audit checks six areas: true profitability, advertising efficiency, listing conversion, search rankability, logistics, and account health. Use this checklist to audit your own account - it mirrors the structure of OBG’s professional OBG360 Audit.

1. Profitability

  • Calculate contribution margin per ASIN: revenue minus referral fees, FBA fulfillment fees, storage fees, ad spend, and COGS
  • Flag ASINs that are unprofitable after ads - they are candidates for price changes, cost reduction, or retirement
  • Free tool: Amazon Profit Calculator and the 2026 Fee Guide

2. Advertising

  • Pull a 60-90 day search term report; total the spend on terms with zero sales
  • Check for missing negative keywords and overlapping campaigns bidding against each other
  • Compare each ASIN’s ACoS to its break-even ACoS (Breakeven Calculator); review ACoS vs. TACoS
  • Full method: PPC Waste Diagnosis

3. Listing Conversion

  • Review main images, secondary images, and A+ Content against top competitors
  • Check title, bullets, and backend keywords for coverage of your highest-volume search terms
  • Look at unit session percentage by ASIN - low converters with good traffic are content problems

4. Search Rankability

  • Map your target keywords and check current organic rank for each hero ASIN
  • Identify page-2/page-3 keywords where improved content plus ads could realistically win page 1

5. Logistics and Operations

  • Check FBA inventory health: excess, stranded, and aged inventory driving storage fees
  • Review reimbursement opportunities for lost or damaged inventory
  • Confirm no listings are suppressed or missing the Buy Box

6. Account Health and Brand Protection

  • Review account health dashboard for policy warnings and open cases
  • Check every ASIN for unauthorized third-party sellers (removal guide)
