Things that you need to mention in your A+ content 

A brand story that creates an incentive for the customers to buy your product and which is very important when it comes to Amazon

Why building a brand on Amazon is so important and how A+ content can help you build your brand on Amazon.

Consumers are becoming more conscious of their purchases and they also want to be an incentive for their purchase, so if a proceeding of the sale goes to the charity or if you can donate a part of the purchases to goes charity, consumers are going to pay more for your product online even if it’s on a high margin than your competitors. So A+ content and brand story can help you do that. Another thing that you can add to your A+ content is infographics but however, you need to make sure that your A+ content is not text-heavy. Use a lot of pictures.

BACKEND KEYWORDS

Backend keywords are hidden search terms or secret search terms that are added to your product listing to boost your visibility on Amazon. These keywords are added behind or on the back of the listing are not visible to the consumers.

These search terms boost your Amazon SEO and can lead to more discoverability on Amazon.

For example: if you are selling coffee on Amazon, you have no idea that how many people misspell coffee so you can add the alternative spelling in the backend search term, or if you are selling in the USA, add Spanish search terms.

AMAZON REVIEWS AND RATINGS 

If you have optimized your listings very well, but you don’t have reviews, you are not going to make that sale. A study shows 84% of consumers look at product reviews and ratings while making the purchasing decision.

In this case, Amazon initially running two programs that would-be sellers get more reviews and ratings on Amazon. So the first program is the earlier reviews program which has discontinued by Amazon and the second is the VINE program.

When it comes to reviews and ratings, instead of asking people to leave a new review, you can also ask the people to go to your listing and like the existing review, and that will also help you to get a better ranking on Amazon and also help to get more reviews as well.

Another thing that most Amazon sellers are not aware of is that keywords in your reviews and questions also get indexed so if you answering a question that a consumer has left on your Amazon listing, you can just add a keyword in a smooth way, you will get run of those keywords.
