Listing Optimisation
What is Listing Optimisation?
Listing Optimisation involves strategically refining all elements of a product’s Amazon listing to boost search rankings, drive more traffic, and increase sales — especially in organic (non-paid) search.
Key components of an optimised listing include:
- Title - keyword-rich, informative, and readable
- Bullet Points - clear, benefit-focused selling points
- Product Description / A+ Content - compelling and visually engaging information
- Search Terms (Backend Keywords) - indexed but not visible to customers
- Images — high-resolution, lifestyle, infographics, and zoomable
- Pricing & Variations - competitive price and clear variation setup (color, size, etc.)
Why Listing Optimisation matters:
- Improves organic visibility in Amazon’s A9/A10 algorithm
- Increases click-through rate (CTR) from search results
- Enhances conversion rate (CVR) on the product detail page
- Supports PPC performance, as better listings reduce ad cost per conversion
- Helps reduce returns through clearer product communication
💡 Example: A seller updates their listing title to include “BPA-Free,” improves image quality, and adds A+ Content - resulting in a 20% increase in conversion rate and better ranking for key terms.
In short:
Listing Optimisation is the strategic improvement of a product detail page to boost Amazon search rankings, attract more shoppers, and convert more sales.
