- Start with a keyword deep dive – learn about search volume
- Mid range keywords for volume and competition
- Title: start with your brand name
- Basic product descriptor/primary keyword and proprietary feature
- Say something to make shoppers aware of what they’re getting (ex. “Two gloves”) – manage customer expectations
- Follow up with secondary keywords using natural language
- Add 1-2 feature benefits
- Double check trademarks!
- Bullet points: skimmers & detailed readers
- All caps headlines for bullet points – features vs benefits
- Additional description for the readers
- Most important information in top 2-3 bullet points
- Shed light on a potential issue in advance

- Check your search terms on every listing
45:00 – spelling variations, hypernyms, and misspellings
47:00 – Don’t sweat holiday/seasonal phrases
