Flat-fee Amazon Japan ad management
Not just watching. We cut wasted spend the same day, push harder when buyers are active, and show you every move in a plain-English report each morning.
Flat fee, never tied to ad spend. From $150/mo
Sound familiar?
Your team is offline when the Japanese market is most active. Bids sit untouched during the hours that matter most.
Keyword research, search terms and reports all assume Japanese fluency. It's hard to know what's really happening.
By the time you see the report, the spend is gone. Questions take days to answer across the time gap.
Those unwatched hours? Mihalo watches them for you.
The Mihalo promise
Mihalo isn't a monitoring report you have to read. Our system watches your data around the clock and adjusts bids and budgets on the spot.
We automatically lower bids on keywords and time slots that aren't converting, stopping the leak the same day it starts.
How: daily keyword-level performance pulls, with underperforming bids auto-adjusted.
We scale bids up during high-converting hours, and budget guardrails keep your ads from going dark in the afternoon and losing sales you never see.
How: hour-of-day bid scheduling plus a budget check every 30 minutes.
We sync Amazon's suggested bids with live performance data daily and update at the keyword level — a cadence no human can match by hand.
How: daily sync of suggested bids, keyword and campaign performance into every bid.
And the fee is completely flat. We don't earn more when your ad spend grows —
so we're free to focus on cutting the waste.

Pricing
Your fee scales with the number of ad groups (campaigns) we run — not with your ad spend. A fair fee tied to the work. We recommend a one-campaign-per-ad-group structure for best performance.
FAQ
No — and be cautious of anyone who does. Instead, our daily report fully discloses what we did, and at day 90 we review Before/After in hard numbers.
Yes. Most of our clients are overseas brands selling on Amazon Japan. We handle the Japanese-language console and the JST time zone so you don't have to.
Yes — the system works across Amazon marketplaces globally (US, EU, UK and more). That said, our deepest strength is the Japanese market, so brands entering or scaling in Japan get the most from us.
3 months on monthly billing, or 12 months on the annual plan. It's the minimum needed for the ads to learn and for us to prove the results.
By active SP/SB/SD ad groups. If one campaign has several ad groups, each counts. Paused ones don't. We recommend one campaign per ad group for best performance, and it's written into the contract.
We operate via Amazon's official OAuth authorization only. We never take your login ID or password (Amazon's terms prohibit it).
Yes. Vendor (1P) operations are a strength of ours, with a proven track record for global brands.
Yes. We audit your existing campaign structure and decide what to keep and what to rebuild during setup. We prepare the migration steps for you.
