A+ Content
A+ Content is Amazon's enhanced description module available to Brand Registry sellers and vendors. It replaces the plain-text description with image-and-text modules, comparison charts, and brand story. Premium A+ adds interactive modules at higher tier.
A+ Content (originally Enhanced Brand Content, EBC) is the rich-media description module that replaces the plain-text "Product description" on a detail page. It is available to sellers enrolled in Brand Registry and to all Vendor Central accounts.
What A+ is for
The plain product description converts. A+ converts more. Amazon's own published average: a 5–10% CVR lift versus listings without A+. Categories with high consideration (electronics, beauty, home) see closer to 15%.
A+ works because it does three things plain text cannot:
- Comparison chart — places the ASIN against the brand's own siblings, capturing upsell.
- Lifestyle imagery — answers "will this fit my life" without forcing scroll-back to the main carousel.
- Brand story banner — persistent brand identity across every ASIN in the catalogue.
A+ tiers
| Tier | Who gets it | Key modules |
|---|---|---|
| Standard A+ | Brand Registry sellers, all vendors | 5 modules, image + text blocks, comparison chart |
| Premium A+ | Brand Registry sellers spending above threshold + vendors | 7 modules, interactive comparison, video, hover hotspots, larger images |
Premium A+ historically gated by spend ($200K/year typical); Amazon has progressively lowered the bar.
The comparison chart
The single most-converting A+ module. Lists the brand's adjacent SKUs side by side with feature checkmarks. It does two things simultaneously: upsells shoppers who landed on the lower-tier SKU to a higher-tier sibling, AND defends against competitor product targeting ads on the PDP by giving the shopper a reason to stay in the brand.
Never skip the comparison chart. It is the highest ROI A+ module.
Brand Story module
Persistent across all ASINs in the brand. Set once, appears on every detail page above the A+ description. Includes brand logo, a navigation strip to other ASINs in the family, and a story panel.
Common mistakes
- A+ as a redesigned bullet list. Wastes the visual real estate.
- No comparison chart. Leaves upsell and defence on the table.
- Text-heavy modules. Shoppers scan A+ in <8 seconds.
- Identical A+ across all ASINs. Comparison chart must be unique to each ASIN's competitive set; not all modules can be shared.
- Not localising for international marketplaces. Translated text without localised imagery converts poorly.
