Launch & Ranking

Launches That Reach Escape Velocity

A funded, sequenced launch plan covering keyword targets, review velocity, promotional support and the date the ASIN has to start paying for itself.

Product Launch & Growth

An ASIN's first eight weeks set a trajectory that gets progressively more expensive to change. Amazon rewards early conversion velocity on a narrow set of terms, so a launch spreading budget across forty keywords typically ranks for none of them. A launch plan that cannot name its target terms on day one is not a plan, and we build ours with a defined ranking objective, a budget capable of reaching it, and an agreed date at which unprofitable spend stops.

What's Included

  • Pre-launch keyword and competitive research establishing exactly which terms the ASIN will rank for, and what conversion velocity that requires.

  • A budget model showing planned spend, expected ACOS by week and the crossover point where the ASIN turns contribution-positive.

  • Listing and creative readiness review before a dollar goes out, because paid traffic hitting an unconverting page burns budget and ranking authority at the same time.

  • Review velocity through Vine, follow-up sequences and post-purchase compliance, timed so social proof accumulates in step with traffic.

  • Campaign architecture built for the honeymoon window, running discovery alongside tightly targeted exact-match campaigns on the priority terms.

  • Weekly rank tracking against the named targets, with a scheduled day-60 decision on whether to double down, adjust or stop.

How It Runs

How the Engagement Runs

Four stages, each with an owner and an output you can hold us to.

  • 01

    Plan

    Pre-launch

    Keyword targets set, budget modeled, inventory and listing readiness confirmed, and a written launch brief signed off.

  • 02

    Launch

    Weeks one to four

    Concentrated spend on the priority terms, review velocity underway, daily monitoring of rank and conversion.

  • 03

    Consolidate

    Weeks five to eight

    Non-converting terms cut, budget compressed onto the terms showing movement, organic share tracked as it builds.

  • 04

    Decide

    Day 60

    An honest read against the plan. Some launches justify more investment, some products need repositioning, and occasionally the right call is to stop.

Built For

Who This Is Built For

  • Brands introducing new SKUs into a category where they already hold authority.

  • DTC products with proven off-Amazon demand making their first move onto the platform.

  • Sellers who have launched before, stalled around page three, and want to understand why.

Proof

>$5,000

Daily sales milestone

Tying campaign investment to keyword position rather than historical allocation took a multi-SKU pantry brand past $5,000 in daily sales.

FAQ

Questions We Get Asked First

  • It scales with category competitiveness rather than with your price point. We model it backward from the conversion velocity required to rank on your target terms, and if that number is unrealistic against your margin we would rather tell you before you spend it.

  • Most categories reach contribution-positive between month three and month six, assuming the ranking objective is met. Subscription and consumable products arrive sooner because repeat purchase carries the load.

  • Usually. It remains the cleanest compliant route to early reviews, and we time enrollment so reviews land as paid traffic ramps rather than after it.

Model the launch before you fund it

Tell us the product and the category. We will build the ranking and budget model so the decision to launch gets made with a number rather than an instinct.
