Conversion on Amazon is measured differently than most DTC sites. The closest like-for-like metric is Unit Session Percentage in Seller Central’s Business Reports, which looks at units sold divided by sessions to your product pages. It is the right starting point for CRO because it reflects how well a detail page turns traffic into purchased units, not just orders. Amazon’s own guidance also labels B2B variants of this metric, so align your dashboard before you start changing pages.

Measure first, then move

Open Business Reports to baseline Unit Session Percentage at the parent and child ASIN levels, then flip to Brand Analytics. Two dashboards matter for CRO. Search Query Performance shows how shoppers discover your brand by query and where drop-offs happen. Search Catalog Performance shows funnel metrics for your ASINs across impressions, clicks, add-to-carts, and purchases. Together they reveal whether your conversion problem is a search-fit issue or a page-quality issue.

If you run traffic to your Brand Store, use Store Insights to see page visitors, attributed sales, and ASIN-level engagement. These views help you decide whether to land mid-funnel ads on a Store page or a PDP, and they surface which modules or tiles are actually pulling shoppers forward.

Make pages retail-ready before you buy traffic

Start with images. Your main image must meet Amazon’s technical and content rules, including a pure white background and clean product framing. A robust gallery matters too. Aim for at least six images and one video so shoppers can evaluate scale, use, and detail without leaving the page. Treat the video as a 20 to 45 second product demo, not a TV spot.

Next, build structured story on the page. A+ Content and Brand Story modules move skimmers along by pairing benefit-led copy with clear visuals. Amazon’s 2025 materials outline design patterns, module choices, and examples you can adapt rather than guesswork. Keep text in text fields when possible, use descriptive alt text, and design for mobile where most sessions happen.

Titles and bullets should be concise and scannable. Lead with the outcome a buyer wants, then the key spec that proves it. Keep variations tidy so shoppers do not bounce to hunt for size or color. The goal is to remove hesitation without resorting to hype.

Your Brand Store is the hub that turns attention into baskets. Build a simple, fast, mobile-first Store with clear category pathways and an event version you can switch on for Prime Day, October events, and BFCM. Do not route mid- or upper-funnel traffic to a random PDP when a focused Store page can merchandise a family of products and raise average order value.

Test like a pro with Manage Your Experiments

Do not assume which change will lift conversion. Use Manage Your Experiments to A/B test titles, images, bullet points, A+ modules, and Brand Story. The tool now supports scheduling and automatic run to significance, which makes iteration fast once you have eligible ASINs. Prioritize the main image first, then title, then A+, then secondary gallery and Brand Story. Read the results the same day they reach significance and roll out winners to all live variants.

Offer levers that quietly move conversion

Eligibility for the Featured Offer matters because most shoppers add to cart from that buy box. Confirm you meet Amazon’s eligibility criteria, then protect fast delivery and price parity so you actually surface as the Featured Offer. If you can meet the math and operations, Seller Fulfilled Prime can retain the Prime badge without FBA, but you must pass pre-qualification and maintain strict delivery metrics during and after trial. Many brands still favor FBA for reliability, then layer SFP where it is operationally sound.

Promotions affect friction as much as they affect price. Coupons add an on-page visual nudge in search results and on PDPs. Deals concentrate urgency for events. Use them with care, modeled against contribution margin after ad and promo cost. For replenishable items, Subscribe & Save can lift repeat purchase and stabilize conversion once you meet eligibility, including a high in-stock rate and a buyable offer.

Reviews remain a conversion pillar, and they come with policy. If your product qualifies, Amazon Vine can seed credible reviews, but budget for the enrollment fee that Amazon charges once the first Vine review posts. Beyond Vine, use the Request a Review feature exactly once per order within Amazon’s timing window. The FTC’s 2024 rule against fake reviews adds real penalty risk, so keep outreach compliant and never incentivize ratings.

Store landers often beat PDPs for mid-funnel traffic

Shoppers who are not yet ready to decide on a single SKU often convert better when you land them on a Store page that merchandises a family of products, highlights seasonal bundles, and gives a clear path to compare. Create an event version of your Store for big moments, point SB Video and Sponsored Brands to those pages, and watch Store Insights to verify engagement and sales before rolling the structure into evergreen.

Troubleshooting low conversion

If Unit Session Percentage is soft and Search Catalog Performance shows healthy click-through but thin add-to-carts, your problem is likely page quality. Rework the image gallery, tighten titles, and ship an A+ redesign, then test. If impressions and clicks are weak, the issue is likely search fit or price positioning, not CRO. If Store traffic looks good but falls off on a PDP, you likely have variation sprawl, missing sizes, or slow delivery that is costing the Featured Offer. Use SFP or FBA to protect the Prime badge, retest price, and re-evaluate which variation is the default child.

What good looks like, and how to sustain it

High performers treat CRO as an ongoing loop. Measure in Business Reports and Brand Analytics, hypothesize with customer language from search terms and reviews, test in Manage Your Experiments, then roll winners to Stores and PDPs. Keep one control creative you trust so results stay grounded, and re-run important tests seasonally or after major creative changes. The goal is not a perfect page, it is a reliable cadence that keeps conversion high while you scale traffic.
