Copy-paste prompt
Look at [ASIN] over the last two years. How much have sales and profit gone down, and when did the drop start? Then check sessions and conversion rate in the business reports, keyword rank history and advertising for the same period, and give me the most likely causes in order, with the evidence for each.
The source didn't publish its exact prompt. We wrote this starter so you can try the same workflow. Replace anything in [brackets].
What they did
A wholesale seller and brand distributor whose products sell for as little as $7.99 uses Claude daily, now connected to the Helium 10 MCP. He was using it to work out why sales of one of his hero products had dropped.
How it went
He starts with high-level trends, then drills into the ones that matter, and says Claude picks the right Helium 10 tools on its own without being told which to use. He uses it from his phone for quick checks.

Worth knowing
An interview on Helium 10's podcast; the diagnosis wasn't finished, so there's no result. Start broad (profit, sessions, conversion, rank, ads) before blaming one cause.
