It is no easy task to get your Amazon listing to top-ranked status, either in terms of Best Seller Rank (BSR) in its sub-category or for your product’s primary keywords. Keyword ranking comes first; you must identify the most highly searched, relevant keywords and advertise them aggressively to improve your organic ranking. The A9 algorithm cares about Clicks + Sales, and the better you convert keyword searches into sales, the higher your listing will rank. Using FBA, staying in stock, and garnering high ratings & reviews all help to solidify Amazon top seller status.

In cases where the product is actually unavailable for purchase, the primary root causes are the product is out of stock, has a future start date, or a listing suspension (removal of the product from Amazon’s catalog). If a product is available for purchase on a products detail page, but is not generating sales, the issue can range from compliance Search Suppressions with Amazon’s style guideline requirements, to Buy Box Suppression due to pricing issues. These root causes aside, other primary reasons are typically due to poor quality listings, bad reviews or the result of a product ranking low in organic search results due to a lack of advertising.
