In this episode of Built by Business with Andy Isom, Andy breaks down why storage, shipping, and fulfillment fees quietly eat into profits, and how optimizing logistics can have a bigger impact on your bottom line than tweaking your PPC strategy.

Amazon SEO in 2025 is no longer about keyword stuffing. If you want to rank on Amazon, you need to understand the signals Amazon actually rewards: profitability, conversion rate, external traffic, and brand trust.
