Amazon Black Friday SEO Optimization Recommendations
Filter your products that meet all of the following requirements:
- Products that are in advertising campaigns.
This event will maximize the visibility of your products, do not limit yourself to optimize only those that sell the most.
- Products with a conversion rate of less than 2%.
We must be between 4-7% conversion rate. And moreover, this period, it will extrapolate the data. Therefore it is time to turn it around and be on time.
- Products that exceed 200 monthly sessions.
Products that have a solid and constant traffic to maximize, rank more keywords of the same semantics and go scaling the results.
These products are the most sensitive to content optimization. You may come across many ASINs to optimize. And not only this, but replicate it in all the countries where you are selling on Amazon (France, Italy, Germany, UK, USA, etc..).
This task can be done manually or with Artificial Intelligence.
- Manual: Perform a keyword research for each of the products, classify the keywords according to search volume, write the copy or content, upload it to Amazon to start displaying as soon as possible. This process takes an average of 30 minutes per ASIN.
- IA: In the SEO Optimization section add the columns: Sessions 30 days, Conversion Rate 30 days and Campaigns. Include the requirements in the filters and optimize the products massively in a matter of seconds for all the countries you have.
