Amazon A+ Content replaces boring textual product descriptions with rich content. It uses various A+ content modules to achieve visually better-looking product descriptions. A well-designed A+ page can showcase products in a more engaging and informative way resulting in an improved conversion rate and more sales.
A+ content can include advanced product description layouts, brand introduction modules, high-quality images, product comparison tables, better page designs, and product graphics. This type of content is designed to help sellers differentiate their products and provide a better shopping experience for customers.
Is Amazon A+ Content Worth It?
A rich-content product page with A+ is better than a plain text description; however, poorly designed Aplus content will tank sales and do more harm than good. Professionally designed Amazon A+ content that complies with A+ content guidelines improves customer engagement time with your product pages, increases sales, and additionally provides the following benefits:
Improved Conversion Rate
A+ content can help improve the conversion rate of your product listings. In simple words, you can generate more sales from the same amount of audience because you have a better content presentation on your product page. Amazon estimates a sales boost of 5%; however, we observe a higher percentage increase in sales with effective copywriting, CTAs, and professionally designed graphics.
Better Ranking is Amazon Search
Amazon algorithms take notice of improving conversion rates. Higher sales mean improved product BSR and resultantly better ranking in Amazon Search Result Pages. A sales-optimized A+ design results in kicking off the flywheel, leading to more traffic and sales.
Brand Growth
Enhanced Brand Content or A+ product pages help improve the Brand image, building customer loyalty and repeat purchase behavior. Use the Brand Story feature in EBC to present consistent branding across all your product pages.
Amazon A+ converts the simple text description into a rich content area, as depicted in the image below:

In our experience, a well-designed A+ Page can boost sales by up to 10%-15% but remember that A+ is primarily a tool to improve conversion.
