Incurring massive financial loss in the thousands due to amazon - Help
Hoping we can get some help here, we’ve made many cases on SS but the majority are not understanding the situation and we are losing thousands per month which will only increase if this is not sorted soon. We are currently 6 months in regarding the issue without a resolution.
The issue:
Amazon automatically and suddenly after 1 years of selling decided to change the visibility of our Brand and ASINs (not sure how, maybe browse node?), which in turn has made our listing unsearchable for all organic keywords. (not indexed)
We are only currently searchable by Amazon ads / searching our ASIN directly / searching for long tail low volume phrases / searching our brand name. Everything else, we have completely lost rank for.
I have provided evidence of this attached to case ID: 11204681412, for our main high volume keywords our ASIN used to have around 2.5% share of the impressions (we were consistntly top 10 on the first page organically) but 6 months ago this has fallen to 0%. Since then our organic rank has disappeared completely with our ASIN not being able to be found on any of the pages for the same keywords (hence 0% asin impression share).
We can also tell we have lost rank because our sales have gone from 40+ per day to 1-2 (which the ads are contributing to, as these still seem to work)
I have also tried to manually do an upload file to try to change the browse nodes, but this has not worked. The browse nodes were fine for 1+ years and are still correctly asigned in the backend of my listing.
Seller support say the listing is active, the asins in question are not flagged as adult products and the search feature is working as it should before proceeding to send me listing optimisation articles all of which I have read.
I am running out of options, therefore decided to put out this post to see if an Amazon admin or anyone on the forum can help us solve this. We are generating no organic sales, and losing all our rank to competitors which we spent 1.5 years gaining.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

To be honest, I don't think there's anything 'wrong' with the Amazon search as such, just that your listings have naturally declined in rankings.
We're facing this as well and from what I've heard, new listings get a temporary boost in ranking and then start to drop off so you may just need to work on optimising the listings as Seller Support said.
We have listings that several years ago were selling 10-20+ per day and haven't sold any in the past year. It's very disheartening.

This happens due to invalid category, verify if your product category has changed recently ?
If product category is not relevant , it will not organically rank for the keywords but sponsored wil work.

Check whether browse node in Seller Central matches the catalog browse node (displayed on the listing next to BSR) - if not, open the case with Brand Registry to change browse node.
Browse nodes in Seller Central often don't match Catalog browse nodes. SC browse nodes are used only for initial listing of the product. Then ASIN can be moved to other place in live catalog, this usually happens automatically (bot decides to move the ASIN) but can be reverted by catalog team.
