Amazon Listing Variation & Category Fix

Optimizing variations and correcting listing errors for improved visibility.

 

Overview

At CaptenAMZ, we specialize in resolving complex Amazon listing issues. In this case, we successfully fixed size variation errors, incorrect product categorization, and a broken parent-child relationship. Our structured approach ensured better visibility, accurate variations, and an improved shopping experience.

PROBLEMS

Size Variation Not Displayed Correctly

The product had multiple size variations, but they were not displaying properly, causing confusion and impacting sales.

Parent-Child Variations Not Merged

Instead of appearing under a single parent listing, the variations were listed separately, making it harder for customers to compare options.

Incorrect Product Category

The product was misclassified under “Plant Seed” instead of “Pet Toy,” reducing visibility and affecting relevance in search results.

Listing Visibility Issues

Due to these errors, the product was not ranking correctly, leading to low impressions and poor sales performance.

ACTIONS

The CaptenAMZ team developed a structured approach to resolve variation issues, correct product categorization, and properly merge parent-child listings, ensuring better visibility and a seamless shopping experience.

Feed File Creation for Listing Update

We developed a structured feed file to correct product variations, update the category, and ensure proper parent-child linking.

Variation Management & SKU Adjustment

To resolve the display issue, we deleted the existing variations and reassigned them under a new SKU for correct alignment.

Temporary Listing Removal & Reset

The problematic listing was temporarily removed for 24 hours to allow Amazon’s system to reset before reapplying the updates.

Product Type & Category Update

The product type was successfully updated from "Plant Seed" to "Pet Toy," ensuring correct classification and better search visibility.

Parent-Child Listing Correction

We restructured the listing so that all variations were properly merged under a single parent, creating a more organized product page.

Final Submission & Validation

After the reset period, the updated feed file was submitted, successfully implementing all corrections and optimizing the listing.
