30 New Ways to Get Your Products in Front of Customers

ThirtyIncrease the visibility of your products on Amazon.com by providing additional attributes when you submit your product information.

You can now include up to 30 optional fields of important product data in your feed. To find out which attributes work best for your products, download the new template and data definitions or read about each option in Help. Electronics sellers may benefit by including Computer CPU speed, Digital Camera Resolution, and Display size for their products. Whereas Jewelry sellers may want to include gender, band material, metal type and ring size.

Regardless of what category your products are in, all sellers should include brand, manufacturer, multiple images, bullet points and keywords to help customers find and learn more about your product on Amazon.com. New or unique products added to Amazon.com will benefit the most from additional attribute data. If a detail page already exists in our catalog, we may use the information you provide to supplement the existing page, though the information you provide may not always be used.

The downloadable feed template in Seller Central describes all available attributes you can add to your feed. Feed Template
Strongly Recommended Fields include- Brand, Department, UPC, Image, Description, Manufacturer, Manufacturer part number. Examples of our Recommended fields include- Age, Band material, color, Color and finish, Computer CPU speed, and Computer memory size. Learn more about all additional data fields here.

Use Your Google Base Feed to Upload to Product Ads

Product Ads Icon If you already sell on Google Base, you can now upload your product .txt file to list on Product Ads. At this time we do not support any of the XML versions of the Google Base files.

Simply follow these few steps and get started today.


1. Log into Seller Central
2. Click on PRODUCTS tab in Seller Central
3. Select Upload Product Ads from the top navigation.
4. Use the dropdown menu in Step 1 to select "Upload Google Base File".

5. Find your file and click "upload".

You can also add attributes to your Google Base feed (.txt). This is a good way to improve categorization and display richer product pages to Amazon.com customers. If you do not have Category data in your Google Base feed or wish to exclude products from listing on Product Ads, consider adding these attributes to your file. Create custom fields in your feed and include information like Brand, Department, UPC, Image, Description, Manufacturer, and Manufacturer Part Number. Learn how to add these enhanced attributes in Google Base support.

August's Top Tip

Chad A "Help customers find your products more easily by providing detailed product titles in your feed. Your product titles should include the brand, model, type of product, size, color, and variation type if applicable. For example, if you are listing a sofa a descriptive product title would be, "Strathwood Camano All-Weather Wicker Sofa." Also, remember to include UPC codes in your feed if they are available. This is the only way to guarantee that your products will be searchable on Amazon.com."

Optimize Your Product Ads

What they see is what they get. Amazon customers expect to see the same offer and product information when they click to your website. Make sure to update your feed daily to ensure you are reflecting current prices, availability and selection. Consider using FTP to help manage your feed uploads.

Be a max-i-ma-list. By listing your entire inventory, you'll be able to attract more customers to your site. Selection is key to driving traffic to your website.
