How to Optimize Your Amazon Listing in 7 Steps

Your Amazon listing is more than just a description—it’s your 24/7 salesperson.

And if it’s not optimized, you're handing sales to your competitors. In this blog, we’re breaking down the 7 exact strategies we used to increase conversions by 80% in just 30 days.

Whether you’re launching your first product or trying to increase sales on an existing one, this is how you do it right in 2025.

Step 1: Optimize Your Main Product Image

Your main product image is your first impression. If it doesn’t grab attention in 2 seconds or less, you've lost the click.

Here's what to do:

  • Use BIG, bold elements that fill out the white space.
  • Make sure the image is high-resolution and crystal clear.
  • Use tools like Piku to compare your image to top competitors.
  • Add keywords subtly on the product box or label (yes, even on 3D renders)—Amazon can read them.

👉 Just don’t overdo it with keyword stuffing. Keep it natural to stay within Amazon’s guidelines.

Step 2: Upgrade the Rest of Your Listing Images

Your additional images need to SELL, not just sit there.

Include:

  • Infographics that show exactly how the product works
  • Lifestyle images that help customers picture themselves using it
  • Social proof like awards, certifications, and real testimonials

We’ve seen a 30% bump in conversions just from better image layouts.

Step 3: Create a Review Strategy That Works

A great listing with bad reviews? No one’s buying.

Reviews are your social proof engine—each one is a mini-advertisement.

Our top review strategies:

  • Use Feedback Five to automate review requests
  • Leverage Amazon’s Vine Program for new product variations
  • Engage with your audience on social to exchange honest feedback

Happy customers = better reviews = more sales.

Step 4: Nail Your Amazon SEO

Even the best listing won’t convert if no one sees it. That’s where SEO comes in.

Optimize with:

  • Keyword research using Helium 10 or Data Dive
  • Problem-focused phrases your audience is actively searching
  • A keyword-rich title that includes high-volume terms
  • Bullet points in ALL CAPS to highlight benefits

SEO is not a one-time thing—keep adjusting based on traffic and conversions.

Step 5: Add Product Videos to Your Listing

Most people prefer watching over reading.

Listings with video convert up to 80% more than those without.

Video tips:

  • Show your product in action
  • Use subtitles (many users watch without sound)
  • Include a mix of pro video + UGC (user-generated content)

Video builds trust and helps buyers see the product in a real-world context.

Step 6: Tell Your Brand Story

Customers don’t just buy products—they buy into you.

How to build your brand story:

  • Share your mission, vision, and values
  • Tell your authentic journey
  • Use your copy, packaging, and visuals to reflect that consistently

We’ve built loyal customers just by being transparent across our listings and social content.

Step 7: Use A+ Content to Make Your Listing Pop

A+ Content (aka Enhanced Brand Content) gives your listing a visual edge.

This is your opportunity to showcase:

  • High-quality, creative modules
  • Visual feature callouts
  • Lifestyle imagery + infographics

We’ve seen up to a 15% increase in conversions just by implementing A+ Content.

Think of this section as your mini-brand site right inside Amazon.

Final Thoughts

Your listing isn’t just a product page—it’s a sales funnel.

And in 2025, the sellers who are winning are the ones who: 

✅ Invest in branding 

✅ Leverage SEO + visual content 

✅ Build trust through reviews and storytelling 

✅ Use every tool Amazon gives them to stand out

Each of these 7 steps plays a part in getting you to page one—and keeping you there.
