A basic Amazon listing has a title, bullets, and some photos. A+ Content lets eligible brands add richer sections lower on the page, with extra images, comparison charts, and brand storytelling. Done well, it can help shoppers understand your product and feel confident buying it. Here is what it is and how to use it well.
Amazon changes its programs, eligibility, and rules, so check current Amazon guidelines before building anything.
What A+ Content is
A+ Content, sometimes called Enhanced Brand Content, is a set of design modules you can use in your product's description area. Instead of plain text, you can add:
- Large images and lifestyle photos
- Feature highlights with icons or graphics
- Comparison charts that show how your products differ
- Brand story sections
- Text paired with images
It is generally available to sellers who are brand registered with Amazon, though programs and tiers can change.
Why it matters
Shoppers on Amazon cannot hold your product. They rely on the listing to answer questions and build trust. A+ Content gives you room to:
- Show the product in use and from different angles
- Explain benefits and differences clearly
- Answer common objections
- Build a brand story that sets you apart
- Reduce uncertainty, which can reduce returns and negative reviews
For many products, the extra clarity can improve conversion, though results vary by category and execution.
What to include
Lead with the main benefit. The top module should make it obvious why this product is the right choice.
Show the product in real use. Lifestyle images help shoppers picture it in their lives.
Explain features as benefits. "Double-stitched seams" becomes "Built to last through daily use."
Answer common questions. Size, compatibility, setup, care, and what is included. If shoppers ask something repeatedly in Q&A or reviews, put the answer in your content.
Use comparison charts. If you sell multiple versions or related products, a clear chart helps shoppers choose and can encourage them to look at your other items.
Tell your brand story. A short, authentic description of who you are and what you stand for builds trust, especially if you are not a household name.
Include accurate details. Make sure specifications, sizes, and claims are correct and comply with Amazon's content policies.
Design tips
- Keep text short and scannable
- Use high-quality, consistent images and fonts
- Make sure text in images is readable on mobile
- Maintain your brand's look across listings
- Do not crowd modules with too much information
- Check how it looks on both desktop and mobile
Remember that a large share of Amazon shoppers browse on phones.
Common mistakes
- Repeating exactly what is in the bullet points
- Using low-resolution images
- Making claims you cannot support, or that break Amazon's rules
- Including prohibited content, such as certain promotional language, pricing, or external links
- Ignoring mobile display
- Treating it as a one-time task
How to measure
After publishing A+ Content, watch:
- Conversion rate on the listing
- Sales and units over a comparable period
- Return rate and reviews, to see whether expectations are clearer
- Advertising efficiency, since better conversion can reduce your cost per sale
