Introduction: Why Your Amazon Product Isn’t Selling (And How to Fix It)
Have you ever wondered why your Amazon product isn’t selling—even though it’s high quality, competitively priced, and solves a real problem?
Here’s the harsh reality: If your product isn’t on the first page of Amazon search results, it’s practically invisible.
The Amazon Search Reality Check:
- 70% of Amazon shoppers never go past the first page (Jungle Scout).
- Only 10% click to page 3 or beyond—meaning if you’re not ranking high, you’re missing out on 90% of potential buyers.
- Amazon’s algorithm favors listings with strong engagement—high click-through rates (CTR), conversions, and low return rates.
“Amazon is a pay-to-play marketplace. If you’re not optimizing for both SEO and conversions, you’re leaving money on the table.” — Ecomclips Team
But don’t worry—this guide will walk you through the top Amazon optimization tricks in 2025 to:
Get your product on page 1 (and keep it there)
Increase click-through rates (CTR) with scroll-stopping images
Write titles that rank AND convert
Use bullet points that boost sales & SEO
Leverage A+ Content for maximum trust & conversions
Find hidden keywords competitors are missing
Let’s dive in.
1. Visibility is Your First Battle: How to Rank on Page One
Why Page One Matters
Amazon’s search algorithm (A9/A10) prioritizes listings that:
✔ Get the most clicks (High CTR)
✔ Convert the most buyers (High conversion rate)
✔ Have low return rates (Good customer satisfaction)
How to Get to Page One (Fast)
A. Use Amazon PPC Strategically
- Start with Auto Campaigns to identify high-converting keywords.
- Move winners to Manual Exact Campaigns for better control.
- Bid aggressively on high-intent keywords (e.g., “buy nettle leaf tea organic”).
B. Optimize for Amazon’s Algorithm
- Keyword placement (Title > Bullets > Backend)
- Sales velocity (More sales = Higher ranking)
- Review & rating quality (Aim for 4.5+ stars)
“The fastest way to rank? Run a PPC campaign with a slight discount to boost sales velocity, then scale back once organic ranking improves.” — Amazon Seller Expert
2. Make Your Main Image Stop the Scroll (And Get More Clicks)
Amazon Image Rules You MUST Follow
- White background (RGB 255,255,255)
- Product must fill 85%+ of the frame
- No watermarks, logos, or promotional text
How to Make Your Image STAND OUT
| Bad Example | Good Example |
 |  |
| ❌ Blends in with competitors | ✅ Grabs attention instantly |
Pro Image Optimization Tips:
✔ Show what’s inside (If applicable—e.g., tea leaves in a bag)
✔ Highlight trust badges (USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan)
✔ Use high-contrast colors (Green for organic, red for urgency)
✔ Add a QR code linking to lab tests (Boosts trust)
✔ Clearly display quantity (e.g., “16 oz Bulk Bag”)
3. Write Titles That Rank AND Sell
Amazon Title Formula (2025 Update)
[Brand] + [Primary Keyword] + [Secondary Keyword] + [Key Benefit] + [Quantity]
Bad Title Example:
“Starwest Botanicals Organic Nettle Leaf Tea Eco-Friendly Bag”
Problems:
- “Eco-friendly” is vague (No real benefit)
- Missing high-traffic keywords (“herbal tea,” “detox”)
- No quantity mentioned
Good Title Example:
“MAC BOTANICALS Organic Nettle Leaf Herbal Tea – Dried Stinging Nettle for Detox & Immunity – 16 oz Bulk Bag”
Why It Works:
✔ Front-loaded with high-volume keywords (“Organic Nettle Leaf Tea”)
✔ Includes a key benefit (“Detox & Immunity”)
✔ Specifies quantity (“16 oz Bulk”)
Keyword Research Tools to Use:
- Helium 10 Cerebro (Reverse-engineer competitor keywords)
- Jungle Scout Keyword Scout (Find high-volume, low-competition terms)
- Amazon Search Suggestions (Type your main keyword & see autofill)
4. Bullet Points That Boost Sales & SEO
Bullet Point Structure That Converts
- Lead with the biggest benefit (Emotional hook)
- Include long-tail keywords (For SEO)
- Keep it scannable (Short sentences, bold key phrases)
Example (Nettle Leaf Tea):
✔ Supports Immune Health – Rich in antioxidants & anti-inflammatory compounds to naturally strengthen your defenses.
✔ Promotes Detox & Digestion – Helps flush toxins while soothing stomach discomfort.
✔ USDA Certified Organic – No pesticides, GMOs, or artificial additives—just pure, potent nettle leaf.
5. Hidden SEO: Backend Search Terms & Alt Text
How to Use Backend Keywords
No commas – Just space-separated words
Include:
- Misspellings (“netle tea”)
- Spanish translations (“té de ortiga”)
- Related terms (“herbal detox tea”)
A+ Content Alt Text Hack
Amazon indexes image alt text in A+ Content. Example:
❌ “Man drinking tea”
✅ “Organic nettle leaf tea for immune support – 16 oz resealable bag”
6. A+ Content: Your Secret Weapon for 20%+ More Sales
Amazon’s A+ Content gives brands a powerful way to stand out and convert browsers into buyers. When optimized correctly, it can increase conversions by 10-20% while reducing returns.
Must-Have Modules:
Comparison Charts – Visually show your advantages over generic alternatives (without naming competitors)
Lifestyle Images – Help customers visualize using your product (30% better conversion than product-only shots)
Trust Badges – Display certifications like USDA Organic or Made in USA prominently
Product Videos – Short 30-90 second demos or testimonials (10-15% conversion lift)
Pro Optimization Tips:
- Always include alt text with target keywords for SEO
- Design for mobile-first (80% of Amazon shoppers use phones)
- Refresh content seasonally to stay relevant
- Upgrade to Premium A+ for interactive elements after 15 approved submissions
Real Results: One tea brand saw a 27% sales increase just by adding comparison charts and a brewing demonstration video to their A+ Content.
