01 — Key Findings

8 Critical Issues Identified

Ordered by estimated revenue impact. Each finding includes root cause analysis and the specific corrective action required.

1

Sponsored Brands is Dead — Again Critical

7 SB campaigns, £18 spent, £21 sales, 88.2% ACOS. For a multi-product DIY brand with 21+ SKUs, SB should drive 15–20% of spend. Currently: 0.3%. No brand store traffic strategy, no video SB, no brand defence.

2

Product Targeting Campaigns Bleeding Budget Critical

78 PAT campaigns at 36.5% ACOS — the worst-performing match type by far. Includes campaigns at 276.6% ACOS (DE PAT), 241.9% (ESL AUTO), and multiple 60–80% ACOS. Many individual ASIN targets are not converting. Needs full PAT audit and aggressive pruning.

3

PHRASE Match Nearly Non-Existent High

Only 2 PHRASE campaigns across 21 SKUs (1.5% of SP spend). Yet PHRASE delivers the best CVR of any match type at 56.1% and 17.4% ACOS. Massive untapped opportunity.

4

Germany Running at 32.8% ACOS (10pp Above UK) High

DE is 20% of spend but 10pp less efficient than UK. Key drains: DDT EXACT “doppelseitiges klebeband extra stark” at 35.7% (£297 spend), DDT PAT BIG PUSH at 38.6% (£193), and multiple PAT campaigns over 45%.

5

SBH Store VCPM at 45.4% ACOS — £293/week High

The brand store traffic campaign is the 8th biggest spender but running at 45.4% ACOS. £293/wk driving store visits at poor efficiency. Needs creative refresh or bid reduction.

6

ESL (Furniture Sliders) at 72.9% ACOS High

6 campaigns spending £88/wk generating only £121 in sales. AUTO at 241.9% ACOS, FBA EXACT at 46.1%. Either a listing quality issue or the product is not competitive in this category.

7

DDT (Double Sided Tape) Star Product Needs Scaling Opportunity

DDT runs at 17.4% ACOS, 42.1% CVR with £8,387/wk sales. It’s the standout product. “carpet tape” EXACT at 11.4% ACOS and 55.7% CVR is exceptional. But the PAT campaigns are dragging efficiency (13 PAT campaigns, many at 40%+ ACOS).

8

Multiple SKUs Missing Core Campaign Types Opportunity

DT (duct tape) has only 1 SD campaign, no SP at all — yet generates £209/wk. TORX has only AUTO. FAD has no EXACT. Many SKUs missing SD, SB, and PHRASE.


02 — UK SKU Performance

Performance by Product (UK Market)

Weekly metrics for each DIY Doctor SKU in the UK marketplace. DDT leads in revenue and efficiency; HDGG and ESL are the biggest efficiency drains.

HDGG (Gardening Gloves) Deeper Investigation

42.8% ACOS overall at £428/wk spend. SP-EXACT “gardening gloves” at 62.5% ACOS is the single biggest efficiency drain in the entire DD brand at £165/wk. AUTO at 99.3%. But BMM “gardening+ gloves+” is reasonable at 26.3%. Recommend: slash EXACT bids by 40%, negate AUTO waste, focus budget on BMM.

ESL (Furniture Sliders) — Potential Listing Issue

72.9% overall ACOS. AUTO at 241.9%. Only 9.6% CVR. Either a pricing, listing quality, or product-market fit issue. Recommend: pause all ESL campaigns until listing is audited.


06 — Germany Market Deep Dive

DE Performance Analysis

Germany is the second market for DIY Doctor, running 72 campaigns at £1,428/wk spend. Efficiency is 10pp behind the UK at 32.8% ACOS.

Key Issues

  • DDT “extra stark” EXACT: 35.7% ACOS at £297 spend — highest spend DE campaign
  • DDT PAT BIG PUSH: 38.6% ACOS at £193 — needs ASIN review
  • Multiple PAT campaigns 45–277% ACOS — aggressive pruning needed
  • BUT-50 AUTO at 43.8%, EXACT “butylband” at 59.5%
  • Bright spot: ALL PRODUCTS AUTO at 16.9% ACOS — the catch-all is actually efficient
Action: Full PAT audit for DE. Reduce “extra stark” EXACT bid. Pause the 276% ACOS PAT campaign.

07 — Action Plan

Concrete Actions, Prioritised

Immediate This Week

1

Pause ESL AUTO & ESL SD

ESL AUTO at 241.9% ACOS and ESL SD at 63.8% ACOS. Audit the listing before resuming — only 9.6% CVR suggests a fundamental product or listing issue.

Est. impact: Save £65/wk wasted spend
2

Reduce HDGG SP-EXACT Bids by 40%

SP-EXACT “gardening gloves” at 62.5% ACOS is the biggest single efficiency drain at £165/wk. BMM works at 26.3%, so the product converts — it’s EXACT bids that are too aggressive.

Est. impact: Save £60–80/wk on HDGG alone
3

Pause DE DDT PAT (276.6% ACOS)

Pause DE DDT PAT B0DSJ3T4P3 immediately. Review all DE PAT campaigns running above 45% ACOS — multiple campaigns need bid reduction or pausing.

Est. impact: Save £40–60/wk DE waste
4

Negate Waste Search Terms

Pull search term reports from HDGG AUTO (99.3% ACOS) and ESL AUTO (241.9%). Add negative EXACTs for non-converting terms to stop budget bleed.

Est. impact: Save £30–50/wk across both SKUs

Short Term Next 2 Weeks

5

Create PHRASE Campaigns for Top 8 SKUs

PHRASE delivers 56.1% CVR but only 2 campaigns exist. Target: DDT, BRACK, BUT, RPD, GRL, HDGG, MGTP, HM20. Use converting search terms from AUTO and BMM reports as seed phrases.

Est. impact: +£1,500–2,500/wk incremental sales
6

Create BMM Campaigns for BUT & MGTP

Both SKUs missing BMM discovery campaigns. BUT has EXACT+PAT but no broad discovery. MGTP same. BMM delivers 19.3% ACOS and 39.2% CVR brand-wide.

Est. impact: +£300–500/wk
7

Full PAT Audit (78 Campaigns)

PAT runs at 36.5% aggregate ACOS — worst match type. Review each ASIN target, pause non-converters, reduce bids on marginal ones. Many individual ASINs will have zero conversions.

Est. impact: Save £100–200/wk waste
8

Scale DDT “carpet tape” EXACT

11.4% ACOS, 55.7% CVR — the best-performing campaign in the entire account. Check if budget-capped. If so, increase immediately. Also create “carpet tape” PHRASE campaign.

Est. impact: +£500–1,000/wk if uncapped

Medium Term Next 4 Weeks

9

Rebuild Sponsored Brands

SB Headline: DDT “double sided tape”, BRACK “shelf brackets”, BUT “butyl tape”
SB Video: DDT and BRACK product demos
Brand Defence: “DIY Doctor” branded terms

Target SB at 15–20% of total brand spend.

Est. impact: +£500–1,500/wk + brand halo effect
10

Create Missing Campaign Types

FAD: EXACT + SD
TORX: EXACT + BMM + PAT + SD
FFP: AUTO
NT: SB + PHRASE

These SKUs are under-served with partial campaign structures.

Est. impact: +£200–400/wk across 4 SKUs
11

Germany Optimisation

Reduce DE DDT EXACT “extra stark” bid. Audit all DE PAT campaigns. Create DE BMM for BUT “butyl”. Target: reduce DE ACOS from 32.8% to 25%.

Est. impact: +£200–500/wk from DE efficiency gains
12

SBH Store VCPM Review

£293/wk at 45.4% ACOS driving brand store traffic. Either refresh creative and landing pages or reduce bids by 30%. Test new headline copy and product selection.

Est. impact: Save £80–120/wk or improve conversion

09 — Next Steps

Follow-Up Audit Required

Placement Modifier & Keyword-Level Audit

This audit covers campaign-level performance and structural gaps. A second-pass audit of placement modifiers (Top of Search %, Product Page %, Rest of Search %) and individual keyword bids is recommended once the MCP API connection is restored. TOS bid adjustments on high-converting EXACT campaigns can dramatically improve impression share and sales volume without changing base bids.
