The importance of high-quality Amazon Product Listings

In short, an Amazon product listing is the product detail page for each of the items you sell on Amazon. The product listing collects all your item information including title, description, prices, images, and more.

There are two ways of creating a product listing for the first time:

• If somebody is already selling the same product on Amazon, you can directly match the existing listing.
• If you are the first seller of that product, you need to create a new listing from scratch.

But in both cases, you need to upload your products first. Normally Professional sellers (the ones selling more than 40 items per month) upload their products in large batches and manage their inventory using third-party tools.

A high-quality Amazon product listing will enable your items to be found in Amazon searches and will also encourage users to buy your products. But in order to achieve a high-quality listing, it’s really important to focus on these three pillars:

1. You should always seek to improve and optimize your Amazon product listing.
2. Make sure you use the correct Amazon product categories. Shoppers need to find your products!
3. Automation tools are your best allies in this process. They help you reduce the number of errors. in your Amazon product listing and will save you time and money.

How to optimize your Amazon product listings

Amazon product listing optimization is the process of upgrading the product pages in order to enhance search visibility, conversion rate, and click-through rate.

How Amazon product categories influence your performance

On Amazon, it’s possible to sell everything you could imagine… almost. Meaning there’s a huge list of categories to choose from. If you want to be found in the right place by the right person, you need to categorize your products on Amazon correctly. And the huge list of Amazon product categories makes this task a little tricky. Especially when you have a large catalog containing different product categories.

As if this wasn’t enough, Amazon has specific requirements for each category. Here’s an example; specifications such as color, size, or material are compulsory for clothing products whereas the energy label is a required field for white goods. Meeting these category requirements is a must if you want your products listed on Amazon.

Listing your products, matching them with Amazon product categories, and optimizing is time-consuming and error-prone if you do it manually. You need to rely on the power of automation if you want to save time, money and reduce the number of possible errors in your Amazon product listing. A feed management tool can automate and simplify this process to make it smoother.
