Listings and catalog
A listing is not a piece of marketing copy. It is a database record that decides whether Amazon shows your product at all. We treat the catalog as an asset to be maintained — written for shoppers, structured for the search engine, and checked line by line.
What is included
Everything on this list is work we perform, not a menu of upsells.
- Keyword research and mapping. Terms mapped to the field they belong in — title, bullets, description, backend search terms and structured attributes — with no wasteful duplication across fields.
- Listing copy. Titles inside category byte limits, five benefit-led bullets, and description or A+ copy written for a shopper who is comparing four tabs at once.
- Backend search terms and attributes. Search terms, subject matter, intended use, target audience and every other structured field that feeds retrieval and filtering.
- Category, browse node and attribute fixes. Getting products into the right node so they can rank, filter and win the badges available to that category.
- Variation families. Parent and child relationships built or rebuilt on the right variation theme, so reviews and traffic consolidate instead of scattering.
- New product setup. New ASIN creation from scratch, including GTIN and brand attribution, dimensions, hazmat and compliance fields.
- Flat files and bulk edits. Category listing reports and partial-update flat files for catalog-wide changes, with a saved copy of every file we upload.
- Suppressed, stranded and inactive SKUs. The recurring cleanup that quietly restores sales: missing attributes, image failures, pricing errors, fulfilment mismatches.
- Duplicate and hijacked listings. Merging duplicates, correcting contribution errors and reporting listing hijacks through the correct channel.
- International listings. Localisation rather than machine translation, plus the per-marketplace compliance fields each locale requires.
- Structured testing. Where the account qualifies, Manage Your Experiments for titles, images and A+, with results read at statistical honesty rather than the first favourable day.
What you receive

Access we need
The permissions this work needs, granted under your own account.

- Reports permission. For category listing reports and inventory reports.
