The ALFI relationship model

A boutique partner that stays accountable after the strategy call.

You are not handed to junior campaign managers after kickoff. ALFI stays founder-led, senior-operated, and capped at 18 brand partners so the relationship has room for judgment, urgency, and trust.

Client retention
since 2019

Senior attention

Founder-led strategy, direct accountability, and operators who understand the whole Amazon business.

Aligned incentives

Profit, cash flow, retention, and contribution margin matter more than activity reports or ROAS theater.

Earned retention

No long-term lock-ins, no auto-renew clauses, and a working rhythm built around joint accountability.

Integrated services

One senior team across the Amazon account

Expansion play

Shopify to Amazon is now a core ALFI growth path.

DTC and retail brands often have meaningful Amazon demand already waiting. ALFI sizes the prize first, then manages Brand Registry, catalog, inventory, advertising, and account operations end to end. Read the expansion page

Profit Increase

Amazon Advertising

Your current agency reports ROAS. You still can't answer the question that matters: which ASINs actually make money after ad spend, COGS, and fees? ALFI keeps senior strategy close to the account and manages every campaign around contribution margin per unit.

Proof point: a complex 300+ SKU account moved from blended ROAS reporting to SKU-level margin controls. ACoS fell from 34% to 21%, and profit per unit rose 40% in 90 days.

Shopify to Amazon

DTC and Shopify brands often have demand they are not capturing because buyers still search, compare, and buy on Amazon. ALFI sizes the opportunity first, then builds the channel end to end: Brand Registry, catalog, inventory, content, advertising, protection, and operating rhythm.

Expansion lens: Amazon is worth exploring when category demand, reviews, price bands, fulfillment, and contribution margin point in the same direction. ALFI pressure-tests those inputs before launch work begins.

AI Search Visibility

The Shift

Buyers now ask ChatGPT and Perplexity what to buy before opening Amazon. The brands cited in those answers get the branded search. The ones missing lose the demand.

ALFI builds crawlable category pages, schema, and citation targets that give AI tools something credible to cite, then measures whether that demand returns to Amazon.

Why this is an Amazon play: This is not a DTC detour. It is an off-Amazon discovery layer built to improve branded search, conversion, and ad efficiency.

Avg. DSP ROAS

Amazon DSP

Sponsored Ads only reach people already searching. DSP lets you reach the other 97%: procurement managers researching competitors, past visitors who didn't convert, and in-market buyers across the web. ALFI keeps media decisions tied to margin, incrementality, and your appetite for controlled growth.

Operating rule: DSP starts narrow. We prove retargeting and audience quality first, then expand only when blended contribution margin supports the next media dollar.

Buy Box Recovered

Brand Protection

Unauthorized sellers are undercutting your MAP, winning your Buy Box, and destroying your margin on every unit sold. ALFI treats protection like relationship work: we learn your reseller reality, document the leakage, escalate what we can, and help close the upstream gaps.

Proof point: after seller leakage was documented and escalated, Buy Box ownership recovered from 64% to 97%. That protection also made paid traffic cleaner because ad clicks stopped leaking to unauthorized sellers.

Listing Optimization & Creative

Your listings were written once, maybe by a vendor manager, and never tested. You're spending thousands per month driving ad traffic to pages that convert at half the category average. ALFI brings senior marketplace judgment to creative so the work sells, not just looks polished.

Proof point: optimized listings moved priority terms from page 3+ into top-10 organic positions within 60 days. Conversion rose 1.8× on the rebuilt ASINs, making the same ad traffic work harder.

Recovered for Clients

Reimbursement Recovery

Amazon has overcharged you on fees, lost your inventory, shorted your invoices, and miscalculated chargebacks. Nobody's checking. We audit your account history, file evidence-backed claims, and can align incentives so you only pay when recovery creates value.

Client result: $287K recovered from 18-month historical audit for a single Vendor Central account. Paid for itself in week one.

Chargeback Rate Reduction

Vendor Central Management

Your 1P account has its own rules: buying team negotiations, shortage claims, AVS agreements, chargeback compliance. Most agencies only know Seller Central. ALFI brings senior operating judgment to the daily work that protects account health and margin.

Proof point: one 1P account had $340K in unresolved chargebacks accumulated over 14 months. ALFI recovered $287K and reduced the ongoing chargeback rate 74% through proactive compliance work.

Walmart Marketplace

You're 100% dependent on Amazon. One policy change, one suspension, and revenue drops to zero. Walmart can become a real second channel, but only if it strengthens the total marketplace strategy instead of distracting from the business that already works.

Expansion rule: Walmart works best after Amazon is stable. We start with proven SKUs, protect inventory and price logic, then scale only when the second channel strengthens the total marketplace system.

Category fit

Where ALFI tends to fit best

Complex catalogs, high-AOV products, and operating details where senior judgment matters.

Industrial Equipment, Safety & MRO Supplies

Procurement buyers, not impulse shoppers. Long buying cycles, spec-driven searches, and Vendor Central complexity. We know the difference between selling a $4 widget and a $400 industrial part.

The challenge: High-AOV products with low search volume need surgical PPC. Generic broad-match strategies bleed budget.
How we help: Profit-per-unit optimization, Vendor Central PO management, and AI Search Visibility to drive branded search from ChatGPT back to your Amazon listings.
Talk to Us About Industrial

Health, Wellness & Supplements

Restricted categories, compliance-heavy listings, and fierce competition from private label. We navigate Amazon's evolving health policies while protecting your margins.

The challenge: Listing suppression, claim restrictions, and aggressive competitors copying your listings.
How we help: Compliant listing optimization, brand protection against hijackers, and DSP retargeting for high-repeat-purchase products.
Talk to Us About Health & Wellness

Home, Garden & Outdoor

Seasonal demand swings, oversized fulfillment costs, and massive catalogs. We manage the complexity of home categories where unit economics shift by the month.

The challenge: Seasonal inventory planning failures destroy rank. Oversized FBA fees eat margin on every unit.
How we help: Demand-aligned PPC pacing, listing optimization for high-consideration purchases, and reimbursement recovery for oversized shipments.
Talk to Us About Home & Garden

Tools, Hardware & Fasteners

Hundreds of variations, cross-compatible parts, and buyers who search by spec, not brand. We build catalog architecture that surfaces the right SKU for the right search.

The challenge: Massive variation families confuse the algorithm. Buyers search by part number, not brand name.
How we help: Catalog architecture for 500+ SKU portfolios, backend keyword optimization by spec, and Vendor Central operations for bulk orders.
Talk to Us About Tools & Hardware

Automotive & Parts

Fitment data, part number searches, and compatibility nightmares. Auto parts on Amazon require catalog precision that most agencies can't deliver.

The challenge: Wrong fitment = returns. Part number searches bypass brand awareness. MAP violations destroy dealer relationships.
How we help: Fitment-accurate catalog management, brand protection & MAP enforcement, and PPC targeting by vehicle application.
Talk to Us About Auto & Parts

B2B & Wholesale Brands

Amazon Business is growing 30%+ annually and your B2B buyers are already there. We help manufacturers and distributors capture business purchasing behavior on the platform.

The challenge: Business pricing tiers, quantity discounts, and tax-exempt purchasing add operational layers most agencies ignore.
How we help: Amazon Business profile optimization, Vendor Central management for wholesale accounts, and reimbursement recovery across 1P and 3P.
Talk to Us About B2B

Electronics & Components

Short product lifecycles, high return rates, and technical buyers who compare specs across 20 tabs. Electronics on Amazon demands precision and speed.

The challenge: Fast-moving inventory, aggressive price competition, and counterfeits eroding brand trust.
How we help: Brand protection & counterfeit takedowns, DSP for product launches, and listing optimization with technical comparison content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you manage Vendor Central (1P) accounts?
Yes. PO management, chargeback disputes, catalog optimization, and buying team negotiations. We manage hybrid 1P/3P accounts too.
What is AI Search Visibility (AEO)?
Amazon blocked AI crawlers, so products that only live on Amazon are invisible to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We build the off-Amazon content layer (product pages, use-case guides, review site presence, structured data) so your brand gets cited when buyers ask AI for recommendations. Those buyers then search your brand name on Amazon, driving higher conversion and lower ACoS. We start with a free audit showing you exactly which product categories are being asked about and whether you or your competitors are showing up.
Should Shopify brands expand to Amazon?
Every serious DTC, Shopify, or retail brand should evaluate the opportunity. In some categories Amazon can become larger than Shopify; in others it can add 20-40% growth. ALFI sizes the market first, then manages the launch end to end if the economics, inventory, and brand-control path make sense.
How long until I see results?
30–60 days for measurable improvements. 90 days for significant profit increases. Reimbursement recovery often delivers within 2–4 weeks.
What size sellers do you work with?
$1M–$50M annual Amazon revenue. We cap at 18 brand partners to ensure senior-level attention.
How is ALFI different?
ALFI is founder-led, boutique by design, and capped at 18 brand partners. You work with senior operators, not a rotating bench of junior campaign managers. We focus on profit, shared accountability, and long-term retention instead of locking clients into long contracts.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. We recommend 90 days to see full results, but there are no long-term commitments. The relationship has to keep earning its place through clear work, clear economics, and measurable progress.
