What is the current best practice for optimizing Amazon product listings?
Standard best practice for optimizing Amazon product listing is (from https://www.zonguru.com/blog/amazon-listing-optimization)
“To optimize your Amazon product listing, follow these … steps:
- Step 1: Craft a keyword-focused title containing your brand name and the most essential information about your product.
- Step 2: Write bullet points explaining how your product can benefit your customers. Include long-tail keywords but avoid repetition.
- Step 3: Upgrade your product description to make it interesting. Try to communicate your product value within the first 200 characters by highlighting usage and practicality. “
There are already hundreds of blog posts similar to this – basically get someone intelligent to mine for keywords using a tool like Sellics, Junglescout, etc, and then have your eCommerce team write product listing titles, bullet points, and descriptions to include those keywords.
What’s missing from the current best practice?
A picture tells a story, right? The thing most users look at is the image on the listing and after that, it’s the additional images…how do you optimize those? Most blog posts are silent on this as the keyword tools can’t tell you what your image is missing. Now while it is pretty difficult to change the main image on an Amazon product listing (because of their very strict rules) you do have a lot of leeway with your additional images and this is a great opportunity to showcase your product to your potential buyer – obviously – but what if you could know what types of images will work well in your product category?
With Junction AI you can see how to improve each product attribute for every product that needs the change – so rather than spending time working out what to change your team can just do the changes.
