Questions & Answers

Q: How do I index keywords that I can't add to my listing due to character limits?

If you've maxed out your listing's keywords, consider using A+ content, meta descriptions, questions, and answers to include additional relevant keywords. Running PPC campaigns can also help target these keywords.

Q: How should I advertise variations by size, such as in the mattress category?

Separate your keywords by size and create separate campaigns targeting each size variation. Also, identify broad keywords that are not size-specific and include all variations in those campaigns to capture specific and general traffic.

Q: How can I manage multiple client accounts on Seller Central?

Request user permissions from your clients to access their accounts instead of creating new Seller Central accounts. This allows you to manage their campaigns while maintaining their account ownership.

Q: Are there any new strategies or techniques for PPC advertising?

While the PPC landscape hasn't drastically changed, focusing on click-through rate optimization, conversion rate optimization, and continuous keyword testing can significantly improve campaign performance.
