Study your competitor’s listings to see what they are
doing right and what they could do better. Pay close

Photography
It is important to use professional product
imagery and lifestyle imagery for your Amazon
listing. Images should be high quality and high
resolution.
If you don’t have design experience, you
should hire a graphic designer to add text
overlays and other design elements to your
secondary images.
Your images should reinforce your brand and
tell the customer a story about how their life
will change when they purchase your product.

Brand Registry
If you haven’t already, you should complete
Amazon’s Brand Registry to get access to
additional listing features such as A+ Content. A+
Content is proven to increase conversion and
click-through rates.
If you don’t have design experience, it is
important to hire a professional who knows
how to curate a high quality professional A+
design for your listings.
Your A+ Content should reinforce your brand
and include different lifestyle and product
imagery than your secondary images.

Communicating Giftability & Seasonality

such as “stocking stuffers for kids,” “Christmas
gifts for mom,” and “Christmas gifts for
husband.”
1. It will catch the eyes of shoppers.
2. It will help your product rank for the
holiday-related search terms that you are
running ads for.
Images
Add seasonal and holiday-themed images to your
priority listings to communicate that your product
is perfect for gift giving!
Ex: Show your product in a Christmas stocking, a
gift box or under the tree.

26. Tools to Track Keyword

Measuring Success
26
27. What is Your Share of Voice on Amazon?
Share of Voice or SOV is the percentage of the market
your brand holds in any given time period compared to
your competitors for a specific keyword.
Jungle Scout Cobalt’s SOV will shed light on your brand’s
ownership and your competition’s ownership of keywords
in a certain segment or product category. By regularly
tracking your SOV you will be able to:
1. Gain insights into the brands that own the largest
market share for the most relevant keywords in a
given segment.
2. Measure the results of your listing optimization and
quantify growth for both sponsored and organic
search terms.
3. Monitor the sponsored SOV of competitors to
understand when competitors increase their ad
spend and when they pay to get ahead.
28. What is Your Product Rank on Amazon?
Jungle Scout’s Rank Tracker is an analysis tool for
monitoring keyword rankings over time. Rank Tracker
allows you to view historical keyword performance and
find out which keywords are influencing your listings —
and your competitors’.
By tracking your keyword rank you will be able to:
1. Uncover keywords that have an established
history of performing well and which ones fall
short.
2. View your competitors’ keyword performance.
3. Observe and analyze historical ranking trends.
4. Help diagnose low sales.
