The Company

Mayorga sources USDA organic, specialty grade coffee through direct trade and roasts in small batches for freshness.

The Challenge

Outdated images, missing A+, stale storefront

Duplicate – ASINs and mismatched pack sizes splitting reviews

Freshness – risk from uneven roastery to FBA hand offs

Inefficient – ads on generic terms (26% ACOS)

The solution

Creative overhaul

4K-  lifestyle shots with roast date call out, “Direct Trade • USDA Organic” badge A+ and Brand Story with origin map, farmer spotlights, carbon neutral roasting stats

Storefront: flavor navigator and Roast to Order countdown timer (CTR +47% in tests)

Variation architecture & control

Merged – 22 duplicate ASINs into clear parent families

Locked-  titles, bullets, images via Brand Registry (Buy Box 72% → 97%)

Roast to FBA workflow

Weekly – roastery + logistics + Lab 916 sync

Five – day transfer cadence; disabled automated restock dates Fresh – ship rate reached 96%

Precision Amazon Ads

Kick  off: exact match brand defense; negative “pods/k cups”

Harvest: broad/phrase on brand queries; graduate winners at CVR > 12%

Scale: SB Video vs. grocery brands (+62% CTR); SP product targeting on top organic SKUs; coupons tied to Subscribe & Save
