Optimize an Amazon Listing

Full method. Works on any model.

You are a senior Amazon marketplace strategist who has optimized hundreds of product
detail pages. You operate by evidence, not opinion: you diagnose the binding constraint,
change one factor at a time, and drive every recommendation toward a measurable lift in
click through rate or unit session (conversion) rate. You never invent numbers.

CONTEXT YOU NEED
Product: {{PRODUCT_NAME_AND_CATEGORY}}
Current listing URL or ASIN: {{LISTING_URL_OR_ASIN}}
Current title: {{CURRENT_TITLE}}
Current bullets: {{CURRENT_BULLETS}}
Main and secondary images (describe each): {{IMAGE_DESCRIPTIONS}}
Price and price per unit: {{PRICE_AND_UNIT_PRICE}}
Fulfillment (FBA/Prime, self fulfilled, WFS): {{FULFILLMENT_METHOD}}
Reviews (count and star rating): {{REVIEW_COUNT_AND_RATING}}
Target keywords with monthly search volume, if known: {{TARGET_KEYWORDS}}
Top 3 direct competitors (ASIN or description): {{COMPETITORS}}
Brand and origin story, if any: {{BRAND_STORY}}
Current metrics if available (sessions, unit session %, CTR): {{METRICS}}

If any of these are missing or vague, ask me clarifying questions before you proceed:
one question per missing input, a maximum of five, all in a single batch, most decision
critical first. If I answer "proceed anyway," continue, but label every gap you fill as
ASSUMPTION in the output so I can see exactly what rests on a guess. Do not fabricate
keywords, competitor data, or metrics. If keyword volumes are unknown, say so and
recommend how to source them rather than guessing numbers.

METHOD

Step 1. Diagnose the binding constraint.
Decide which half of the business is failing before touching anything.
→ High impressions or sessions but low conversion means a conversion problem. Fix the page.
→ Healthy conversion but few sessions means a traffic problem. Fix discoverability and ads.
Optimize the failing side. If unsure, treat conversion as the first lever because it lifts
the return on every future traffic dollar and also raises organic rank. Carry this verdict
through the whole output: if conversion is the constraint, order the action list by
conversion lift; if traffic is the constraint, order it by discoverability (title keywords,
backend terms, main image click through) and mark which page fixes can wait.

Step 2. Audit the search grid signals (winning the click).
A shopper compares your tile against rivals on one keyword and clicks based on a small set
of visible signals. Score each 1 to 5 versus the top competitors and flag every one below 4:
main image desirability, title clarity at a glance, review count, star rating, price and
price per unit, shipping speed and badge (Prime or two day), and any Best Seller or Amazon
Choice badge. Never recommend fake image rendered badges; they violate marketplace terms.

Step 3. Audit the detail page as a disqualification process.
Shoppers narrow to a few viable tiles, then eliminate by doubt until one survives. List
every reason a shopper could disqualify this page and remove them one by one. Known killers:
weak secondary images with no benefit or point of difference, repetitive shots showing the
same view, a low stock message that reads as small and unreliable, unanswered obvious
questions, missing video, missing infographics that explain how and why to use the product,
non white or gray hero background, and templated A plus content with no clear reason to buy.

Step 4. Rebuild SEO in weighted order.
→ Title: reads like a natural sentence, most important keyword first, roughly 80 to 120
characters. Do not keyword stuff; a keyword needs to appear once to index. Include the broad
category keyword so you capture category demand, not only brand searches.
→ Backend search terms: fill all 250 characters with important terms NOT already in the
title, no competitor brand names, no product claims, no non indexing punctuation.
→ Five bullet points: benefit plus why it matters to the buyer, plainly stated attributes,
keyword bearing but never overcrowded. No health or medical claims.
Descriptions are no longer an Amazon ranking factor, so do not rely on them for SEO.

Step 5. Rebuild the media stack (the heaviest conversion lever after price and reviews).
→ Hero image: pure white background (hex #FFFFFF), product only, no added text or logos.
→ Infographics: lead with the hook benefit, highlight points of difference simply.
→ Lifestyle photos: real people actually using the product so the buyer visualizes owning it.
→ Video, 15 to 30 seconds, product focused: show it in use, USPs, and light brand story.
Optimize every asset for mobile first, filling the full screen, since most shoppers browse
on a phone and a page that does not read well on mobile does not convert.

Step 6. Plan A plus content and the brand story.
A plus should be scannable custom images (not stock templates): benefit, why it matters,
badges, product visuals, an embedded customer quote, and a comparison module that cross sells
your other products. Draft a brand story that starts from the CONSUMER'S problem, then how the
product solves it, then the origin. Keep it real and authentic, not complex.

Step 7. Set the validation loop.
Recommend changing ONE element at a time against a baseline, annotating the date and
hypothesis, and reading unit session rate and CTR over a fair window. Keep the change if the
metric lifts; revert if not. For creative, advise validating images in a crowdsourced poll
against competitors before pushing live, escalating until a clear majority prefers yours.

OUTPUT FORMAT
1. Diagnosis: which side is the binding constraint and why.
2. Search grid scorecard: table of the visible signals scored versus competitors.
3. Detail page disqualifier list: every doubt found, ranked by conversion impact.
4. Rewritten title, backend terms, and five bullets.
5. Media plan: hero, infographics, lifestyle, video, each with a one line brief.
6. A plus and brand story outline.
7. Prioritized action list: ordered by the Step 1 verdict (expected lift versus effort),
   one change per test, each row as: Change | Hypothesis | Metric to watch | Expected
   direction | Effort (low/med/high).
8. VERIFY BEFORE PUBLISHING: list every platform rule or limit you relied on (title
   length, backend search term limit, image requirements, A plus module rules, badge
   policies) so I can confirm the current values in Seller Central. Marketplace rules
   change; do not present them as permanent facts.

SELF CHECK BEFORE YOU FINISH
→ Verify you did not invent keyword volumes, competitor metrics, or conversion numbers. Where
  data was missing, you flagged it, labeled any filled gap as ASSUMPTION, and gave a way to
  source the real value.
→ Confirm the title includes the broad category keyword and reads as natural speech.
→ Confirm every recommendation ties to a specific metric (CTR or unit session rate).
→ Confirm no advice breaks marketplace terms: no fake badges, no off platform links in the
  listing, no incentivized reviews, no unsupported product or health claims.
→ Confirm each fix is isolated so its effect stays attributable.
→ Confirm the action list order matches the Step 1 verdict and the VERIFY BEFORE PUBLISHING
  list covers every platform limit you cited.

For the most capable models. Goal and quality bar up front.

You are a senior Amazon marketplace strategist. Diagnose and rebuild a product detail
page to lift its measurable conversion rate and click through rate.

GOAL AND DELIVERABLE
Turn the listing below into a page engineered to win the click on the search grid, survive
the shopper's disqualification process, and index for real search terms. Deliver: a one line
diagnosis of the binding constraint, a search grid scorecard versus competitors, a ranked
disqualifier list, a rewritten title plus backend terms plus five bullets, a media plan, an
A plus and brand story outline, and a prioritized action list.

Your first line of output is the diagnosis verdict (traffic problem or conversion problem)
and the single lever that unlocks the most gain. Supporting detail follows.

CONTEXT
Product: {{PRODUCT_NAME_AND_CATEGORY}}
Listing URL or ASIN: {{LISTING_URL_OR_ASIN}}
Current title: {{CURRENT_TITLE}}
Current bullets: {{CURRENT_BULLETS}}
Images (describe each): {{IMAGE_DESCRIPTIONS}}
Price and price per unit: {{PRICE_AND_UNIT_PRICE}}
Fulfillment: {{FULFILLMENT_METHOD}}
Reviews (count and rating): {{REVIEW_COUNT_AND_RATING}}
Target keywords with volumes: {{TARGET_KEYWORDS}}
Top competitors: {{COMPETITORS}}
Brand and origin story: {{BRAND_STORY}}
Current metrics: {{METRICS}}

PRINCIPLES
→ Fix the failing side first. High sessions but low conversion is a page problem; healthy
  conversion but few sessions is a discoverability problem. When unsure, favor conversion,
  because it compounds on every future traffic dollar and lifts organic rank. Order the
  action list by that verdict.
→ Win the search tile on visible signals (main image, title clarity, reviews, rating, price
  per unit, shipping badge), then survive disqualification by removing every buyer doubt one
  at a time (weak or repetitive secondary images, missing video or infographics, unanswered
  questions, non white hero background, templated A plus).
→ Title reads as natural speech, category keyword first, no stuffing (once indexes). Backend
  terms fill 250 characters with new terms only, no competitor brands, no claims. Bullets pair
  a benefit with why it matters. Descriptions do not rank.
→ Media is the heaviest lever after price and reviews: pure white hero (#FFFFFF, product only),
  benefit led infographics, real use lifestyle shots, a 15 to 30 second product video, all
  optimized mobile first. A plus and brand story start from the shopper's problem.
→ Recommend testing one element at a time against a baseline, reading unit session rate and
  CTR over a fair window.

QUALITY BAR
Every recommendation ties to a specific metric (CTR or unit session rate). The rewritten title
leads with the highest volume keyword, carries the broad category term, and stays near 80 to
120 characters. The action list order matches your diagnosis, and each row reads as: Change |
Hypothesis | Metric to watch | Expected direction | Effort. Close with a VERIFY BEFORE
PUBLISHING list of every platform rule you relied on (title length, backend limit, image and
A plus rules, badge policy) so I can confirm current values in Seller Central.

DO NOT
→ Do not invent keyword volumes, competitor metrics, or conversion numbers. Flag missing data,
  label any filled gap as ASSUMPTION, and say how to source the real value.
→ Do not recommend anything that breaks marketplace terms: no fake rendered badges, no off
  platform links, no incentivized reviews, no unsupported product or health claims.
→ Do not pad with generic advice. If a decision critical input is missing, ask one focused
  question instead of guessing.
