Should you build this?

YES, if
  • Helium 10 enterprise positioning leaves SMB gap · clear wedge
  • PPC pain is recurring (monthly) · sustained LTV
  • Concrete metrics (signal#1 £-amount + ROAS%) make value prop clear
THINK TWICE
  • Amazon Advertising API access requires Brand Registry · onboarding friction
  • Helium 10 / Perpetua / Quartile already serve this market · positioning crowded
  • Cluster overlap with amazon-sponsored-products-targeting card · risk of fragmenting
VALIDATE THIS WEEK
  1. This weekend: Reply in signal#1 r-AmazonSeller ROAS-collapse thread · ask 5 SMB Amazon sellers if they'd pay $29/mo for PPC optimizer
  2. Next 7 days: Ship landing page with free Amazon PPC audit (paste ad spend + sales = get recommendations) · capture seller emails
  3. If 25+ SMB Amazon sellers commit: If 25+ SMB Amazon sellers in 7 days: build MVP using Amazon Advertising API · launch within 3 weeks
