8 Steps to Win the Digital Shelf

Quickly improve sales rank by

optimizing product content for limited

set of top-volume products.

1 - Prioritize Your Top ASINs

3Ps often “piggyback” on 1P

pages, leading to uneven pricing,

messaging, and customer

experiences.

2 - Police Your Variants

The A9 algorithm chooses product selection consumers initially see.

If you are out of stock, your traffic and your sales will go to a 3P seller or a brand competitor.

Every SKU causes active damage to your brand
