FAQs
Amazon product listing optimization is the process of identifying keywords relevant to your product (that people are also searching for), and sculpting your listing in a way that enables your product to rank well in Amazon’s search engine for those keywords.
Optimizing a listing means that sellers include their keyword targets within the product listing title, bullet points, description, etc. to improve their ability to rank for those keywords in Amazon’s search engine.
Amazon listing optimization is important because it enables your product to be found within Amazon’s search engine for search terms that will drive qualified leads to your product.
Sellers can improve their Amazon SEO by utilizing Amazon product listing optimization tools like Listing Builder to naturally weave in keyword targets within their product listing.

How To Optimize Your Amazon Product Listing for SEO
In order to optimize your product listing for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) purposes, you must first select a set of keywords relevant to your product and weave them throughout the product listing in a natural way. Below you will find a breakdown of the most important sections you should optimize.
How To Find Keywords for Your Amazon Listing
There are multiple ways to find keywords, such as:
- Plugging the ASINs of your competing products into a tool like Cerebro to find all of the keywords it ranks for
- Conducting exploratory keyword research with Magnet
The key is finding highly searched keywords that are also hyper-relevant to your product listing. If it’s not relevant, it’s not going to drive sales. And if you’re curious whether or not it’s relevant, plug the keyword into Amazon’s search engine and look at the top ranking results; if they’re dramatically different from your product listing, chances are it’s not a great keyword target.
How To Add Keywords to Amazon Listing
In your Amazon Seller Central account, click into the product listing and add the keywords you’d like to target into the “Search Terms” area (250 bytes max). You’ll want to use tools Listing Analyzer and Listing Builder to optimize other elements of your listing, such as the product title, features, description, etc. which we’ll dive into in the following sections.
How To Optimize Your Amazon Product Title
To optimize your Amazon Product Title, you should login to Helium 10’s Listing Builder, upload your keyword list for the product as your keyword bank, and try to work in a few of your most important keywords. Keep in mind that the title can only be 250 bytes max, so you want to be descriptive yet concise at the same time. Focus on accurately describing what your product is with the keywords in mind.
How To Add a Product Description on Amazon
To add a product description on Amazon, you must open your Amazon Seller Central account, click into the product listing and add the description into the “Product Description” area (2,000 bytes max).
How To Write a Product Description on Amazon
When writing an Amazon product description, you want to:
- Focus on what potential customers care about most with the product (the benefits of it)
- Be concise, yet cover everything they need to know about it
- Naturally weave keywords into the content (without it coming across as spammy)
- Use bullet points and images as needed to explain product features/benefits
How To Add Bullet Points in Your Amazon Description
To add bullet points to your Amazon product description, you must login to Amazon Seller Central, click on “Edit,” navigate over to the “Description” tab, and add your bullet points into the “Key Product Features” area.
How To Get Amazon Product Images
Typically when buying products off of Alibaba and selling them on Amazon, you can contact your supplier or manufacturer and request permission to use the images beforehand. With that being said, it’s much better to take your own pictures so that you can control the way the product is presented to potential customers.
In regards to image sizes, the image must be at least 1000 pixels in height and width. These images should be in one of the following formats: TIFF (.tif/.tiff), JPEG (.jpeg/.jpg), GIF (.gif), or PNG (.png).
How To Add Images to Your Amazon Description
In order to add images directly into the description, you must be a registered brand and have access to Enhanced Brand Content (EBC). If you aren’t a registered brand, you won’t have access to this feature and cannot add images into the description.
How To Make Your Products Searchable on Amazon
After you submit your product to Amazon and generate an ASIN, it should be discoverable on the Amazon search engine.
How To Get Your Product on the First Page of Amazon
To get your product on the first page of Amazon, you must select hyper-relevant keywords to your product and optimize your listing accordingly (product title, description, features, images, etc.). After that, you must generate many positive customer reviews and build up a history of selling that specific product on Amazon.
