Marketplace SEO

Optimising listings within marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay or Etsy, whose internal search engines rank on relevance, conversion and sales velocity rather than links.

In full

Marketplace algorithms weight commercial performance heavily: conversion rate, sales history, price competitiveness, fulfilment reliability and review quality, alongside keyword coverage in titles, bullets and back-end fields. Marketplaces also compete with sellers in Google results for the same product queries, so brands must decide whether to fight for their own PDPs or accept marketplace intermediation. Data and control are far more limited than on owned sites.

Example

A brand improves its main image and bullet structure on a marketplace listing, raising conversion and, in turn, its internal ranking.
