Amazon Ads software built around what a KU reader is worth

Author Ads Pro turns your weekly Amazon Ads report into decisions judged on series profit, then keeps track of what each change actually did. Every number counts Kindle Unlimited page reads and read-through.

How it works

1
Upload this week's report
Download the Sponsored Products search term report and drop it in. It's read in your browser.
2

Negatives, bid changes and new keywords, ranked by money at stake, with one bulk file to apply them.
3
See what they did
Next week's report checks which changes you made and what each one saved or earned.

A dashboard that counts every reader

Spend, series royalties, profit, true ACoS and spend with no readers, each with its change since your last report. A plain-language brief at the top tells you what moved and where to start.

This week in brief and five headline numbers with trend lines

Results you can check

Every recommendation goes into a ledger. When the next report covers the days after a change, it confirms whether you made it and measures what it saved or earned, so you always know what the tool is worth.

Saved and earned so far, monthly results by type, and a running total over time

Every number shows its math

Open any search term or target and see exactly how it was valued: sales times your royalty, page reads times the KENP rate, later books from your read-through, and the true ACoS that comes out. No black box, so you can check it against your own sense of the series.

How this was worked out: sales, page reads and later books adding up to what a search term earned, and its true ACoS

Checked against what KDP paid

Upload your KDP royalties report for the same dates and the analysis is checked against Amazon's own payout. Ads can only explain part of what KDP paid; if the analysis claims more, it tells you which setting is off.

Questions

Who is Author Ads Pro for?

Self-published authors who run Amazon Ads, especially for books in Kindle Unlimited and books in a series. The math values page reads and the later books a reader goes on to buy, which ACoS leaves out.

What's free and what's paid?

The Kindle Author Ads Analyzer and every calculator are free with no signup. The workspace (dashboard history, results tracking, placements, budgets, launch builder, keyword library and the Monday email) is the paid Weekly Coach, and it's free for everyone during the open beta.

Do you see my Amazon Ads data?

Reports are read in your browser. When you save a report to your account, only totals, campaign totals and the recommendation lists are stored, never the file. You can delete everything from Settings.

Does it change my ads automatically?

No. Author Ads Pro tells you exactly what to change and gives you a bulk file to make the changes in one upload. You stay in control of your account.

Is it connected to Amazon?

Today you upload your reports. A read-only connection to Amazon Ads, so reports arrive by themselves each week, is built and waiting on Amazon's approval.
