How to use Amazon’s A9 Algorithm to your advantage as a private label seller

Amazon’s A9 algorithm is the ranking system that determines the order of products displayed in the search results on the Amazon marketplace. If you’re a seller on Amazon, understanding and optimizing for A9 can help you increase your visibility, attract more customers, and ultimately improve your sales.

Here are some tips for using A9 to your advantage in product listings:

Keyword research: A9 is based on keyword relevancy, so it’s crucial to conduct thorough keyword research to understand what customers are searching for. Use Amazon’s search bar and other keyword tools like Google Keyword Planner to find relevant keywords and incorporate them into your product listing.

Optimize your product title: The product title is the most critical element of your listing, and it’s where you should focus your efforts on keyword placement. Be sure to include your primary keyword in the title, as close to the beginning as possible, and avoid using excessive capitalization or special characters.

Use bullet points and product descriptions wisely: The bullet points and product description sections are where you can expand on the benefits and features of your product, and also include secondary keywords. Make sure to use clear and concise language, and break up your content with bullet points to make it easy to read.

Provide high-quality images: Good product images can improve your conversion rate, and A9 also takes image quality into account. Use high-resolution images that show the product from multiple angles and in use. Also, make sure your product images are optimized for Amazon’s image requirements.

Encourage positive reviews: Positive reviews can have a significant impact on your search ranking, so it’s essential to encourage customers to leave reviews. Reach out to customers after their purchase and ask them to leave a review, and make sure to respond to any negative reviews in a professional and helpful manner.

Keep your inventory up-to-date: A9 rewards sellers who have a high level of in-stock inventory and a fast shipping time. Make sure to keep your inventory levels up-to-date, and fulfill orders as quickly as possible to ensure a positive customer experience.

Utilize Amazon PPC advertising: Amazon Pay-per-Click (PPC) advertising can help improve your product’s visibility and search ranking. Use Amazon’s advertising platform to create campaigns that target specific keywords and drive more traffic to your product listing.

In conclusion, optimizing for Amazon’s A9 algorithm requires a comprehensive approach to your product listings, including keyword research, product title optimization, bullet points and product descriptions, high-quality images, customer reviews, inventory management, and Amazon PPC advertising. By following these tips, you can improve your product’s visibility and attract more customers, ultimately leading to increased sales and success on Amazon.

Amazon is now giving sellers the exact reason for Restricted Products Removal

Kika Angelic

Published

If you are a third party seller doing business on Amazon’s platform, you might be already aware that they are rarely providing any clear reason at all for their enforcements. Amazon can remove your listings anytime and if you wish to have them reactivated, you will have to invest a significant amount of time and resources into appealing.

Recently, Amazon started briefly clarifying reasons for listing blocks in relevant notices, which includes those subject to Restricted Products Removal. If you carefully review the wording of e-mail received from Amazon, you will be able to detect, why they were removed.

By the way of example, a recent Restricted Products Removal notice states:

“Jewellery products cannot be described as “8 carat gold”, “10 carat gold” or similar as these are not recognised finesses of gold in the UK. For more info, please see the following; https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/external/help.html?itemID=201744030&language=en_GB&ref=efph_201744030_relt_201744010”

The text of your notice should address your listing’s specific reasons.

Here you can view an example full e-mail from Amazon regarding Restricted Products Removal:

Hello from Amazon,
We are writing to let you know that the following detail pages have been removed from our catalog:

How to recover your Amazon Seller Account when Two Step Verification Fails

Kika Angelic

Published

As you know, Amazon now requires all third party sellers to implement two step verification in order to access their Seller Accounts. Many sellers are reaching out to me and seeking help with regaining access to their accounts when they are unable to perform two step verification.

This may happen when a seller loses their phone, for example. In such case, they will be unable to receive the OTP text code. If Two-Step Verification fails and you can’t access your account, you can try to recover it using alternative means.

To regain access to your account, you’ll need to verify your identity by providing a scan or photo of a government-issued identity document to Amazon. To protect your account, Amazon won’t be able to make changes to your Two-Step Verification settings until your identity is successfully verified. If you are able to sign in to your account, you’ll have access to make changes to your account.

Before you begin account recovery, try to sign in with a registered backup method or from a trusted device.

If you still can’t sign in, to recover your account:

  1. Go here
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload your identity document. Make sure that your name and address, and the issuing authority (e.g., state or country) are visible. Cover, conceal, or remove sensitive information such as account numbers or identification numbers. 

The verification process can take 1-2 days to complete. Amazon will e-mail you to confirm once Two-Step Verification has been disabled. You’ll then be able to access your account with only your password.

New requirement for list prices on Amazon starts June 30

Kika Angelic

Published

If you are an Amazon Seller doing business on their US platform, you must have received Amazon’s warning e-mail entitled New requirement for list prices starts June 30 in your inbox. Starting that date, Amazon will require any newly created listings to contain the List Price.

If you are wondering why is setting a List Price so important for Amazon, in this article I will be addressing your concerns. Whilst it will only take you a few seconds to update any listing with a List Price, you may not be aware of its pros and cons.

Once you upload the List Price, Amazon will save this figure as the product’s RRP. When you try to decrease or increase the product price later, your listing will get automatically deactivated over a Potential high / low pricing error or you will lose the BuyBox.

This is why you should carefully rethink whether you will provide this attribute on your existing listings and what figure will be entered as the List Price. 

On the other hand, List Price can be a good idea when you have an otherwise expensive product, which you intend to sell at a significant discount. It is then shown as a strike-through Recommended Retail Price making the savings visible on the product detail page. Displaying the RRP when you are offering a price that is below it, will help customers understand the value of your offer, which may help to increase conversion. 

If you do not have a ready-to-provide list price, Amazon suggests that a possible value could be the first price at which you have offered or will be offering the product. You can also provide a value of 0 to indicate that you do not have a list price.

Here you can view a copy of the wording of Amazon’s e-mail regarding the matter:

New requirement for list prices starts June 30

Hello,

You are receiving this email because you have previously added offers for certain product types that commonly include list prices.

Beginning June 30, 2023, we will require the “List price” (also referred to as a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) attribute to be completed for these product types. 

Your existing offers will not be affected by this change. Rather, when you create a new item listing, or when you edit an existing listing, you will see a prompt to fill out the “List price” attribute. 

If you do not have a ready-to-provide list price, a possible value could be the first price at which you have offered or will be offering the product. You can also provide a value of 0 to indicate that you do not have a list price.

For more information, go to “Product type and attributes”:

You can download the full list of impacted product types from the following link:
