Amazon Sellers, are you frustrated with listings that just won’t rank, no matter how much money you throw at ads? In this week’s episode, I sit down with Alex Chiru, an Amazon SEO wizard who has launched over 400 products in just four months.
He reveals cutting-edge strategies to fix backend issues, dominate with Amazon’s own tools, and avoid common pitfalls. If you’ve been relying on third-party platforms for optimization, this episode will flip your entire approach to SEO.
Show Notes: https://amazonseller.school/master-amazon-seo-with-alex-chiru-game-changing-strategies-for-sellers/
Most sellers don’t even know the category alignment in their listings is off. Alex explains how one simple backend tweak can take your product from invisible to top-ranked. “If the category isn’t perfectly aligned, you’ll see issues like unmerged reviews, skyrocketing ad costs, and plummeting rankings.”
From leveraging Amazon’s Product Opportunity Explorer to decoding the “General Ledger,” Alex drops actionable advice you can implement today. Learn how to pinpoint keywords with high click-through rates and move them to the front of your titles and bullet points for massive ranking boosts.
This episode is packed with practical gems:
👉 Inspect your backend categories to resolve hidden ranking issues.👉 Use Amazon’s native tools, not scraped data, for keyword research.👉 Focus your SEO efforts on titles, first bullets, and high-quality images.👉 Sell smarter, not harder, by promoting complementary products in your A+ Content and brand story.
“Amazon customers don’t care about your brand history—they care about your images, titles, and price.” Alex’s approach is all about efficiency and accuracy, cutting through the noise of unnecessary tools to make the data Amazon gives you work harder.
Don’t miss this episode—it could save you thousands in ad spend and wasted time.

Amazon sellers, are you leaving money on the table by not activating Amazon’s Business Buy Box? In this episode, I’m joined by Adrian Rich from Seller Snap to discuss why business pricing, quantity discounts, and business-focused strategies can skyrocket your profits. Adrian reveals, "It’s a decision to make, but it’s such a big market that if you’re not offering discounts, you’re not offering an option to the market." Whether you’re scaling with reselling or private label, this conversation uncovers actionable strategies to optimize your listings with Amazon’s business tools.
Show Notes: https://amazonseller.school/unlock-amazons-business-buy-box-the-secret-to-boosting-profits-sales-velocity-with-adrian-rich/
👉 Why offering business discounts might be the smartest move you’ve skipped👉 The advantage of competing in Amazon’s Business Buy Box
👉 Using Seller Snap for automated, dynamic repricing👉 Quick hacks for leveraging Amazon’s B2B features
Adrian explains how Amazon’s business pricing feature isn’t just about offering a slight discount—it’s about attracting serious business buyers who often purchase in bulk. We dig into the distinct buy box for business, which you might not even know exists. Imagine this: your product shows up as the best value in the business category, outshining competitors who don’t utilize business pricing. “If you’re selling on a listing with three other sellers, they don’t even know you have a business discount on," Adrian says, “and that edge is enough to get you the sale.”
We also talk about Seller Snap’s AI-powered repricing tool, which now automatically adjusts business pricing for you. Imagine less time on manual adjustments and more time focusing on growth. Adrian walks through strategies for tracking competitors while still maintaining strong margins—particularly useful if you’re a private label seller aiming to stand out in B2B.
Private label sellers, don’t miss the section where Adrian explains why adding quantity discounts can make your offer irresistible. Even in saturated categories, a few cents off per unit might convince customers to buy in bulk and boost your total sales. Tune in if you want to learn how these strategies can elevate your Amazon business!
