Find the Amazon SKUs eating your margin.

Profit-Leak Detector is a free Amazon Sponsored Products analyzer built by Lynx Media. Upload your search-term report and the tool flags exactly which SKUs are bleeding margin — through high TACOS, wasted ad spend on near-zero converters, and keywords that look fine on ACOS but lose money once you bake in COGS and fees.

Built for $1M+ FBA brands who already know ACOS is a vanity metric and want to operate to blended profit. No login, no email gate, no data stored — your report stays in your browser.

How it works

  1. Download your Amazon Sponsored Products Search Term Report from Seller Central (Advertising → Reports).
  2. Drop the CSV into the tool. Everything runs locally in your browser.
  3. The tool calculates true profit per SKU using your input margin, then flags terms where ad spend exceeds contribution.
  4. Export the leak list as CSV. Add to your negative-keyword harvest or campaign restructure.

Frequently asked questions

Is this really free? What's the catch?

Genuinely free, no email gate. The catch is that we publish free tools to demonstrate the kind of operating discipline we apply at Lynx Media. If you want our team to run the audit + 90-day fix plan, that's our paid service.

Does my data leave my browser?

No. The CSV is parsed and analyzed locally with JavaScript. We don't upload your report to a server; we don't log the contents.

What's the difference between this and just looking at ACOS in Seller Central?

ACOS only tells you spend / ad revenue. It doesn't bake in COGS, FBA fees, returns, or referral fees. A 20% ACOS can still lose money on a thin-margin SKU. This tool computes true profit per impression-served, which is the metric that determines whether the SKU is worth advertising at all.

How big a search-term report can it handle?

Tested up to ~150,000 rows (about a 90-day report for a mid-six-figure brand). Modern browsers handle that comfortably; older devices may chug on the biggest reports.

What if I find leaks — what should I do next?

Three plays: (1) add the worst search terms as negative keywords, (2) restructure the campaigns hosting those terms by intent, (3) review SKU-level COGS for the leakiest items. Our blog post has the full playbook.
