In this episode, Mike sits down with Emma from Marketing by Emma to uncover 11 things ruining your Amazon listings — and some of them are downright embarrassing. If you’re still stuffing keywords like it’s 2016 or using ALL CAPS to scream at your customers, this one’s for you.
Emma pulls no punches. Emojis in your bullets? Amazon says no. Satisfaction guarantees? Not allowed. And let’s talk about those comparison charts — you get one. Just one.
Mike keeps it real, throwing in stories about keyword stuffing from the early SEO days (shoutout to Lexus for hiding white text on white backgrounds — we see you), while Emma reminds us that Amazon’s AI is smarter than you think.
This isn’t 2016 anymore. You can’t trick the system, and you definitely can’t trick your customers.
We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
