How To Increase Traffic on Your Third Party Marketplace

[Nomad]

If you are selling on third party marketplace like Amazon, Etsy, eBay, etc. how do you do increase traffic on your stores. Well, the answer is SEO, however, your SEO should be specifically targeted for internal searches. You need to conduct keyword research for your niche for the platform where you are selling. For instance, if you are selling on Amazon, you will have to implement Amazon SEO strategies. You can do this by optimizing on-page elements like titles, meta descriptions, tags exclusively targeting the platform. Your product still need to be high-quality and useful though.

Your product needs to have visibility. It should not only appear on searches but also on recommended products, you may like it, similar products sections of the marketplace. Running paid ads on the platform can also improve your visibility. Better visibility means more sales.

In my experience, it is better to run ads on the marketplace where you are selling instead of hiring influencers or even running ads on other platforms.

SEO helps, but your focus should be on internal ranking. For instance, if you are selling on eBay, and if someone searches for the products you are also selling, your list should appear on the top

The best way to increase visits to stores like Amazon, Etsy, or eBay is to use SEO adapted to each platform, because if you didn't know, each platform has a slightly different SEO style that you have to understand for it to work correctly, in addition you must also apply the basics of SEO such as correct keywords for the specific niche that you do, optimize the title and descriptions and with this you should already increase your sales.

SEO and digital marketing can help. With SEO, you will be able to improve your visibility on internal searches. For example, when someone searches for T shirts and if you are also selling T shirts and if your t shirt appears on the search result, you are likely to have sales.

Absolutely, selling on third-party marketplaces like Amazon, Etsy, or eBay requires a very platform-specific approach to SEO, because each platform has its own search algorithms and ranking factors. Optimizing your product listings goes beyond just using relevant keywords it’s about structuring the listing in a way that aligns with how users search and what the platform rewards. Conducting thorough keyword research is essential. Use tools like Amazon’s Keyword Tool, eBay’s Terapeak, or EtsyRank to identify the search terms your target audience is using. Focus on high-intent keywords that potential buyers are likely to type when ready to purchase, rather than just general terms.
On-page elements are crucial. Product titles should be clear, descriptive, and include primary keywords without keyword stuffing. Bullet points and descriptions should highlight key features, benefits, and use relevant secondary keywords naturally. Tags, categories, and backend search terms also play a role, so optimize these carefully to improve visibility. High-quality images, videos, and reviews further enhance the chances of conversions, as marketplaces consider engagement and satisfaction in their ranking.

Personally I would never bother with a third-party, but I know people who are using it successfully. In this area, SEO is still king, as you need your listings to appear in the marketplace's internal search engine. So VERY well optimized titles, super-accurate descriptions (use your word-count allowance as much as possible), a truckload of images, videos if possible etc. Otherwise it will be almost impossible to appear along hundreds of other products.

For a lot of people selling on the third party marketplace is the best option available. A writer might not be able to sell his writing skills through his website but he might be able do sell through Fiverr or Upwork. An indie seller might not be able to sell their self hosted store, but he might sell through eBay or Amazon.

I despise third-party platforms like amazon. Many other people also dislike amazon due to its monopoly in the market and many marketers think that it is unfair. I prefer other third-party marketplace like Etsy since it offers you the opportunity to sell digital products and competition is less on Etsy. Many people have a better chance of selling hand-made products on Etsy.
