How does it work?

  1. 1. Complete every product attribute

    Fill in title, brand, GTIN, bullet points, specs, sizes and materials; Amazon's shopping assistant answers from listing details, reviews and Q&A.

  2. 2. Follow Amazon's title rules

    Since 21 January 2025 titles are capped at 200 characters, with no promotional phrases and limited word repetition; check your category style guide.

  3. 3. Get reviews only the allowed ways

    Use the 'Request a Review' button or Amazon Vine; never pay, offer incentives or ask only for positive reviews.

  4. 4. List products in Google Merchant Center

    Upload a feed with id, title, link, image, price and availability; free listings can show on Search, Shopping, Gemini, Images and Lens.

  5. 5. Add Product markup and a ChatGPT feed

    On your own shop add Product markup (name, image, offers, gtin, brand); OpenAI also accepts structured product feeds for ChatGPT shopping.

  6. 6. Ask shopping assistants and compare

    Ask Alexa for Shopping, ChatGPT and Gemini about your category; check that price, specs and availability they show match your data.
