Amazon is a well-known and established eCommerce platform widely accepted in the market. The platform has thousands of sellers with one motive- to make money out of their product listings.
Product Listing:
In simpler terms, Product Listing is the portfolio or the collection of all the elements that your product exhibits. This includes features, benefits, how to use tutorials, specifications, size selector, information about the brand and the manufacturer, and the list goes on. Moreover, a good product listing should have the following elements-
- Powerful SEO keywords
- Comprehensive product Descriptions
- Key Features and Fascinating Visuals
- Easy to understand formats
Product Listing Ranking:
Product ranking is having full control over the categories and other elements of the product and their rankings. Simply, it means monitoring the ranking of the individual product, their aspects, and the order in which they display themselves on search results pages.
BSR or Bestsellers Rank is the rank given to the sellers and their products based on past sales statistics. The Algorithm of Amazon automatically calculates this by comparing it with the other products of the same category. The lower the sales rank or Bestsellers Rank, the better are the chances of visibility and more sales.
Listing Quality Score:
LQS or Listing Quality is yet another algorithm used by Amazon to arrange the product listings category-wise. LQS is used to determine and improve the quality of a listing.
Ten or a range of 90-100 in some tools is the best score that a product listing may receive under the Listing Quality score checker, done through various tools.
Factors Impacting The Quality Score:
Product Listings on Amazon itself comprise many factors that ultimately help the listings get a perfect score. Let’s have a look at the factors that play a major key role in obtaining a good listing score.
-
Number Of Visuals:
Do not overload your product with images. Add at least seven high-quality, clear, and engaging images.
-
Balance The Keywords In The Title:
The product title is one of the best and most engaging places to add keywords. Remember the essence of your keywords will create and balance them accordingly.

Features In Bullet Points:

Length Of descriptions In Amazon Product Listings:
Amazon provides you with a word limit of 2000 characters therefore, you can keep the descriptions as informative and descriptive according to the requirements. You should also avoid keyword stuffing while working on the descriptions and include the focus keywords, as it enhances the ranking of the product listing.
-
High-Quality Videos:
Upload exceptional product videos of 480 pixels or higher. For this reason, the video file must be 5GB in size and needs to be in .mp4 or.mov file format.
