How to Optimize Amazon Product Listings
December 5, 2019
After spending countless hours researching and developing your brand and product(s), it’s finally time to start selling on Amazon and making some money! Or maybe you’ve been selling on Amazon but haven’t yet seen the uptick in sales that you’d like to see. Either way, congratulations on your dedication and entrepreneurship!
If you want to improve your product rank (and, therefore, sales) there are a few key areas that will need your immediate attention: keywords, content, and images.
Keywords
AKA: Amazon Ranking Optimization. A-AKA: Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
This may seem like a no brainer but including the most relevant keywords to your product within your listing will help consumers find your product more easily. The caveat is: if you don’t know how to find the best keywords, your product may not rank as high and you will be missing out on potential customers and, therefore, sales! There are plenty of keyword research tools out there, especially ones that are specialized in Amazon-specific keyword research, so be sure to research and include all relevant keywords in your product listing, such as in the title, bullet points, product description and backend keywords!
Content
Ensuring that your content is informative and visually-appealing with professional photography will help to draw customers to your listing and improve your click-through-rate (CTR). A strong title, five bullet points with key selling features (and keywords), and optimized A+ Content (also known as Enhanced Brand Content or EBC) with professional images and graphics will not only help to brand your product, but it will help to properly convey the added benefits and uses of the product for the customer. A+ Content allows sellers who have registered their brand with Amazon (Brand Registry) to opportunity to greatly improve their listings by creating a modular-style combination of text and images that help to best portray the functionality and/or benefits of the product.
Images
When a customer searches for a product using a keyword, they are brought to an Amazon search engine results page that displays the most relevant – and highest ranking – products. In a modular format, each listing is shown with a large product image and part of the product title, which is why having professional photos taken of your product is so important, as customers are likely to click on products with eye-catching photos. Also, professional photos allow customers to see the product, its uses, and its differentiators from competitor products. If a seller is using images that are low-resolution or don’t show the added benefits and functions of the product, the customer may not be enticed to purchase.
