Your ACOS of 32% is spot-on the category average of 32.13%. The real problem is a CPA of $14.55 against a median AOV of ~$44 and two variants already out of stock — you're paying a premium for orders you can't fully capitalize on. Cash-cow campaigns are being starved while high-risk, low-efficiency ad types and placements drain the budget. If you don't rebalance now, rising wasted spend and stockouts on your best converters will silently erode margins and drag your BSR out of the Top 5,000.
CPA $14.55 vs blended AOV ~$43.50 — every ad order costs you 33% of revenue. SB campaigns drive a 34.14% ACOS with a high CTR of 1.56%, but the value is diluted by Off-Amazon placements bleeding at 44.38% ACOS. Meanwhile, 2 of your 5 variations are out of stock, crippling conversion on proven search terms.
Evidence → 02 Campaigns & KeywordsTop wasted terms "mole repellent solar powered" and "mole repellent" have combined 0-conversion spend of $142+$126. Off-Amazon placement alone bleeds $1,049 at a 44.38% ACOS with only 54 units. These are fully reversible, one-click cuts with no impact on top-converting keywords.
Evidence → 02 Wasted Terms / 01 PlacementsBroad match "mole repellent" delivers a stellar 24.15% ACOS and 4.14 ROAS but is chronically under-budgeted. Top-converting ASIN targeting campaigns are achieving 20-30% ACOS. Increasing budgets on these proven winners while slashing wastage can pull blended ACOS below 30%.

B0XXXXXX02 (Yellow) and B0XXXXXX03 (Black) have zero sellable units. These ASINs are targeted by high-converting keywords like "snake repellent for yard" and "mole repellent solar powered". Every click on these keywords that lands on an out-of-stock variant is a wasted ad dollar. Immediate restock is critical.
Budget changes (78), bid adjustments (41), and placement adjustments (47) dominate the log, indicating a highly active management style. However, negation actions (31 negative keywords added) are comparatively low given the magnitude of zero-conversion search terms identified. The operational cadence is strong, but systematic pruning of wasted spend needs to be integrated into the weekly workflow.
Your main competitors (Brand A, Brand B) price similarly but have significantly fewer reviews (15–35). Your 507 reviews and 4.0-star rating provide a trust advantage. The BSR gap (you: 4,931 vs Brand A: 3,223) is primarily a function of inventory availability and organic rank, not product weakness. Maintaining premium pricing is viable as long as stockouts are resolved.
