Wasted Ad Spend Finder with Claude and an Amazon Ads MCP Connector
Find keywords spending money with no sales across every campaign
“We cut wasted ad spend by 22%”
Per source Reported by an agency about its own client work, not independently verified.
Copy-paste prompt
Find all keywords across all campaigns that have spent more than $50 with zero sales in the last 30 days.
This prompt is quoted or closely adapted from the original source. Replace anything in [brackets].
What they did
An Amazon PPC agency's podcast walked through connecting Claude to an Amazon Ads account with Marketplace Ad Pros' MCP connector (sign up, add a custom connector in Claude's settings, approve OAuth), then ran five prompts: a wasted-spend finder, bulk campaign optimization, instant reporting, marketplace expansion and competitor ASINs you show up for but don't target.
How it went
The agency says: 'We cut wasted ad spend by 22% and we dropped our reporting time by 90%.' One seller told the host a single prompt found $4,300 in wasted spend; before the connector the same check meant exporting the search term report and filtering it in Excel for every campaign.
We only report what the source says. Results are self-reported unless noted.
Worth knowing
An agency's own claims, with no account size or time period. The connector costs $20 for a two-week trial, then $10 a week. Treat the zero-sales list as candidates: check conversion lag and ranking campaigns before you cut.
