List of questions answered during the webinar
- What should we use to separate backend keywords?
- How do you separate the keyword phrases from single keywords?
- What are the ‘backend’ and ‘frontend’ keywords?
- Do phrases need to be repeated multiple times in the bullet points or description in order to be indexed, or is stating something just one time is enough?
- What about variations? Do all the child ASINs need to be updated in bullet points, descriptions, etc?
- Does the order of keywords and phrases make a difference, on the frontend and the backend?
- Does the title ranks over bullet points – or are equal in weight?
- If you use short title and bullets, does amazon automatically start doing broad search based of the relevancy?
- How do you separate a single word from a phrase keyword?
- Can we use HTML code, like a star in bullet points?
- In which order title, bullet points description and back end terms are indexed for the 2000 limit?
- If you have used 2000 characters in your title + bullets + description, does that mean your backend is irrelevant and will not be indexed at all?
- Does a plural word index separately from singular, for example “pears” and “pear”. Do these need to be separate keywords?
- On the title with the Amazon URL on the 5 keywords – seem totally random and in fact are not the most relevant. How can we control that?
- Is it okay to use ALL CAPS for some words?
- One keyword could block the rest. I just had this today but then the whole block of keywords wasn’t indexed. So how do you find the toxic keyword?
- Child variations: is it better to have two different listings with different keywords linked to the one parent?
- Do you find that putting in the brand as the first words in your title is important or can we put it in the end?
