Wettbewerber-Conquest

Conquesting without a conversion edge is just expensive spite.

Best fit: you actually win the click on price, reviews, or use case

Shortlist Only rivals your listing can actually beat
Cap Conquest never steals the core search budget
Kill Targets that do not convert get cut, not “optimized forever”

I only conquest where your listing wins the click. Everything else is a vanity impression.

Category targeting is a test with a cap, not a firehose. Brand-safe exclusions keep you off pages you should not be on.

Defense of your own listings is a different workstream. Conquest is offense with a conversion edge — or it does not run.

Who this is for

Brands that beat a named rival on price, reviews, or a clearer use case and want that traffic — not brands trying to bully a better page.

Who it is not for

A weaker listing attacking a category leader. We will not buy that traffic. That is how ACOS explodes.

How the work actually runs

01

Edge

Price, reviews, use case, or image. If we cannot name the edge, we do not target the ASIN.

02

Isolate

Own campaigns, own budget. Conquest should never hide inside a blended search campaign.

03

Rule

Win/loss in writing. ACOS or CVR breaks the rule — the target dies.

04

Review

Weekly. New rivals in, dead ones out. Offense is a list, not a personality.

What is in the workstream

  • ASIN targeting shortlists
  • Win/loss rules per target
  • Category conquest tests with caps
  • Brand-safe exclusions
  • Budget isolation from core search
  • Kill rules when CVR or ACOS breaks
  • Notes on why we will not attack a stronger page
  • Weekly readout separate from brand defense

Week one

Pick the rivals you actually beat. Build ASIN targeting with tight budgets. Write the win/loss rule so we know when to stop.

Every week after

A short ASIN list, win/loss rules, exclusions for brand-safe gaps, and a kill switch when a target stops converting.

FAQ

Will you attack every competitor?

No. If their listing converts better, we do not buy that traffic.

Is this the same as brand defense?

Opposite direction. Defense holds your page. Conquest visits theirs — only when you win.

What about targeting their brand keywords?

Sometimes, if you can convert that shopper honestly. Often it is a trap. We decide per rival, not as a default.

How big is the budget?

A test cap. If conquest cannot prove itself without stealing search dollars, it stays small or it stays off.

This workstream on the free review

You do not need to hire it to find out if it belongs on the account. Send the public store link. I tell you whether this lever is leaking, whether I am the person to run it, and what week one would be.

01

The leaks I can see from the public listing

Title, bullets, A+, reviews, brand defense, and obvious ad-real-estate problems. Storefront URL only — no Seller Central login until we agree to work.

02

Whether this desk is a fit

If I cannot show the leaks, I decline. You are not added to a roster. A “no” is a complete answer, not a follow-up sequence.

03

What week one would be

Harvest, defense, listing pass, or “not yet.” Named in writing — not a 40-slide deck and a 12-month PDF.
