What is an Amazon listing optimization tool?

Software that improves a product's title, bullets, description and backend search terms so the listing is found for more of the searches buyers use, and wins the click and the sale. SalesFortuna Listing SEO picks the keywords from your own Amazon data, checks indexing and compliance, writes the copy and publishes it to Amazon.

Where do the keywords come from?

From eight sources: Brand Analytics Search Query Performance, the search terms that converted in your Sponsored Products, Brands and Display reports, the keywords you track in Rank Monitor, Amazon's own keyword recommendations, phrases used by up to 25 page-one competitors, your Keyword Hub, your current listing, and on request an AI search for phrases competitors use that you miss.

Is this just ChatGPT writing my listing?

No. The model writes only after the system has chosen the keywords from evidence, and it may use only that verified list. Afterwards the copy is checked again in code: field lengths, the 249-byte backend limit, prohibited claims, competitor and own brand names, ASINs and keyword stuffing are corrected before you see the draft.

Does it keep adding new keywords after the listing is written?

Yes. Search Query Performance is pulled every night and the draft for each product is recomputed every night, so new queries that start bringing you impressions or purchases show up as candidates without starting over.

How do I check if my Amazon listing is indexed for a keyword?

Run the indexing check from the listing: it searches Amazon for each keyword with your ASIN and marks it ranked, indexed only, or not indexed. Tracked keywords are also checked every night; a confirmed drop raises an alert with the likely cause, and a keyword that is simply not in your listing is labelled as such with an option to add it.

What does it tell me to remove from a listing?

Keywords that spend without selling or show no result at all, claims Amazon blocks (disease and medical claims, pesticide and antimicrobial claims, CBD and nicotine, "Amazon's Choice"), risky wording such as "best", "#1", "guaranteed" or "clinically proven", competitor brand names, words repeated across sections, and backend terms that duplicate the title or waste bytes.

Does it publish to Amazon, and can I undo a change?

Yes. You choose the fields to apply; the change goes to Amazon through the Selling Partner API, the live listing is read back to confirm Amazon accepted it, every version is kept, and an applied change can be rolled back to the previous text.

How do I know a listing change worked?

Every applied change gets a verdict a week later: units and sessions for 7 days before and after, compared with similar products that did not change, marked better, worse, no difference or too early. Keyword rank is visible next to it in Rank Monitor.

Do I need Brand Registry?

Search Query Performance comes from Brand Analytics, which Amazon gives to brand-registered sellers. Without it the other sources — ads, Rank Monitor, Amazon recommendations, competitors, your Keyword Hub and listing — still work.

Is there a free trial?

Yes - 30 days free, no credit card. Listing SEO is included in every paid plan.

Amazon Listing SEO

Amazon listing optimization
from what buyers search and buy.

Not a blank ChatGPT prompt. SalesFortuna picks the keywords from your own Amazon data, checks which ones you are indexed for, flags what has to go, writes the copy inside those facts, publishes it to Amazon — and tells you a week later whether it worked.

Keyword sources

Eight sources, refreshed every night.

A listing written once goes stale: buyers start searching new phrases, competitors change theirs. SalesFortuna pulls Search Query Performance and recomputes every product's draft each night, so new queries show up as candidates on their own.

01
Search Query Performance
Your impressions, clicks and purchases per query from Brand Analytics — pulled every night.
02
Converting ad search terms
Queries that produced orders in your Sponsored Products, Brands and Display reports.
03
Rank Monitor
Every keyword you track, with its organic position.
04
Amazon recommendations
The keywords Amazon itself suggests for your product.
05
Page-one competitors
Phrases mined from up to 25 competitor listings that rank on page one.
06
Keyword Hub
Your own keyword bank and the main keywords you chose.
07
Your current listing
What the listing already says, so nothing that works gets lost.
08
Gap finder
On request, AI looks for phrases competitors use that your copy misses.

Signals

Which keyword earns a place in the listing

A keyword is proposed only when it is not already in your copy or backend terms and has proof behind it: orders from your ads, search volume, or Amazon's own recommendation. Brands are filtered out, candidates are ranked by ad orders and then by demand, and each shows where you rank for it today.

Keywords from themes you have already ruled out in advertising go to a separate “irrelevant” list — unless they keep bringing orders.

01
Ad orders
02
Search volume and purchases (SQP)
03
Organic rank today
04
Not yet in title, bullets or backend
05

Indexing

Are you even indexed for it?

A keyword in the listing means nothing if Amazon does not show you for it. Run the check from the listing and every keyword is marked ranked, indexed only, or not indexed. Tracked keywords are checked again every night: a confirmed drop raises an alert with the likely cause, a miss right after your own edit is not counted as a drop, and a keyword that is simply not in your copy is labelled that way — with one click to add it.

What to remove

What has to come out of the listing.

Optimization is also subtraction. Before anything is written, the current listing is checked for:

Keywords that don't pay

Terms that spend without selling, or show no rank, no purchases and no orders at all.

Claims Amazon blocks

Disease and medical claims, pesticide and antimicrobial claims, CBD and nicotine, “Amazon's Choice”.

Risky wording

“Best”, “#1”, “guaranteed”, “clinically proven”, “FDA approved” and category-specific claims.

Brand names

Competitor brands — and your own where it wastes space.

Waste

Words repeated across sections, backend terms already in the title, stop words, bytes over 249.

Submission blockers

Amazon's own issues on the listing, read before you apply — the mechanical ones fixed for you.

AI writing

AI writes inside the evidence — then the code checks it

The model may use only the verified keyword list and what already works on the listing. You steer the angle: a free-text focus, a short assistant that asks up to four questions and writes the brief, or a regenerate with a different angle.

The draft is not trusted as written. Title 65–75 characters, five bullets, description, backend at 230–249 bytes; brands, ASINs, prohibited words and keyword stuffing are corrected in code before you see it.

01
Verified keywords only
02
Your positioning focus
03
Field and byte limits enforced
04
Claims and brands stripped
05
You pick which fields to apply

A draft is not the finish line.
A verified Amazon result is.

Where live publishing is enabled, submit selected fields, read Amazon's response and keep the previous version available for rollback.

Hypotheses

Test a positioning, not just a keyword list.

Lead with a different benefit, audience or use — that is your hypothesis. Publish the version, and a week later the change gets a verdict: units and sessions for 7 days before and after, compared with similar products you did not touch — better, worse, no difference or too early. Every version stays in history, and an applied change can be rolled back.

Rank for each keyword is tracked in the Amazon keyword rank tracker, and new keywords start in keyword research.
