Amazon announced major Seller Assistant updates at Amazon Accelerate, with new support for Anthropic’s Claude and Amazon Quick through Amazon Bedrock. The update adds 24/7 workflows, custom automations, Seller Central data access, pricing actions, restock planning, product rating alerts, and other routine seller tasks. The video also looks at how useful these features may be compared with current third-party tools, where Seller Assistant may still fall short, and why knowing how to use these tools still matters for Amazon sellers.

Amazon PPC keyword strategy for scaling low-ACoS terms, fixing high-ACoS spend, setting target ACoS, and protecting organic rank. Amazon PPC optimization covers keyword bids, conversion rate, CTR, search volume, campaign spend, and when an underperforming search term should be paused. The video also explains how PPC bids affect Amazon organic ranking and where sellers should spend more to gain page-one keyword positions.

If PPC spend is rising while profitable keyword growth stays flat, get the account reviewed before more budget gets pushed into the wrong terms: https://bit.ly/4jMZtxu

Gong review 2026: This two-year sales software review covers call coaching, talk ratio, AI trackers, and why the team canceled Gong. The review covers Gong pros and cons, conversation intelligence, HubSpot integration, call recording, sales coaching, and long-term software value. It also shows why AI sales call recording and custom workflows became practical Gong alternatives for a service sales team.

If an Amazon brand is paying for more tools but still missing sales, it needs a plan built around the real revenue gaps before another month gets wasted: https://bit.ly/4jMZtxu

In this video, Noah Wickham explains Amazon Brand Registry protection roles and selling roles, including Brand Representatives, Registered Agents, and the newer Reseller role.

Selling on Amazon Europe can help US sellers test EU demand, handle VAT, and start with Germany before expanding across European marketplaces.

MAG Growth podcast guest Nick Penev of hellotax and eCom Hot Sauce talks about Amazon Europe expansion, Amazon VAT, FBA, product compliance, listing localization, and finding the right partners. Nick explains why US brands should check demand first, test a small catalog, and add European markets only when the numbers make sense.

Five minutes in front of a camera can produce nothing when the customer is missing from the conversation. Steven Pope explains why forced brainstorming makes content harder and how real customer questions, DMs, emails, support issues, and Amazon problems can become useful video ideas. For Amazon sellers, founders, and brand owners, staying close to customer feedback makes it easier to create tutorials and videos around problems people already care about.
