eCommerce and marketplace work, starting with the product data.

Marketplace optimization is the work of improving product data and listings so items are found and chosen on your own store and on channels like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.

Most listing problems are data problems wearing a costume. Thin titles, missing attributes, variants that do not group, categories that put you next to the wrong competitors. We fix the underlying product record first, then the listings built on it stop breaking in the same three ways.

What you actually getand what each part is for.

Uploading a product is the easy part. Everything that decides whether it gets found, understood and chosen happens in the data underneath it, and that is where most catalogs quietly fall apart.

Product data and listing optimization

Titles, descriptions, bullets, attributes and images rewritten around how people actually search and compare. Naming standardized across the catalog so the same product does not appear three ways, and variants grouped so buyers see one listing instead of five near-duplicates.

Marketplace channel setup

Seller account readiness, category placement, required data fields, compliance items and approval paths. Each marketplace has its own rules and its own reasons for rejecting a listing, and most of them are not explained until you trip over one.

Feed and inventory alignment

How product and stock data moves between your store, your point of sale and each channel. This is where the expensive failures live: selling something you do not have, or hiding something you do. We map the flow and find where it drifts.

Content that answers the buying question

Enhanced content, comparison information, image sets and the specifics people need before committing. On Amazon that includes A+ Content. The test is whether someone can decide without leaving the page to look something up.

Product visibility in search

Every marketplace runs its own search engine, and so does Google. Product schema on your own store lets both read price, availability and reviews rather than guess at them, which is what puts a product into shopping results and into an AI answer instead of a plain blue link. Our free schema generator shows the shape of it.

Channel performance review

Sales, conversion rate, listing health and revenue by channel, read together rather than one dashboard at a time. The useful question is rarely "how did we do", it is "which channel is worth more of the catalog". Campaign traffic gets tagged so it can be told apart, and our free UTM builder does that part for you.

Where to startdiagnose, fix the plumbing, or work the catalog.

These solve different problems and most businesses only need one to begin with. If you are not sure which, the audit exists precisely to answer that, and it will tell you if the answer is neither.

Management

Starting at$299

Best forKeeping a clean catalog clean, once the fixing is done. Catalogs drift, and nothing announces it when they do.

What is included
  • Listings and feeds watched for drift
  • Marketplace requirement changes caught early
  • Small content and data corrections as they come
  • Stock and availability alignment monitored
  • Channel performance reviewed monthly
  • Billed as website care, on 15-day terms

A deeper feed and inventory alignment review, mapping how product and stock data moves between your store, your point of sale and every channel, is $1,500 and is quoted separately. Listing work is priced per listing or per group of near-identical products, so forty variants of one item are not forty listings. Marketplace seller fees, subscriptions and paid apps stay in your name and are billed by those providers rather than by us.

Your own store, or a marketplaceand the honest trade in each direction.

This gets argued as though one is obviously right. It is not. They fail in opposite ways, and which one hurts you depends entirely on what you sell and who already knows you exist.

Your own store

You keep the margin, the customer relationship, the email list and the data. Nothing changes the rules on you overnight. The trade is that every single visitor is yours to earn: there is no existing demand to borrow, so traffic has to come from search, ads, or people who already know your name. It is the same argument as owning your platform rather than renting one, just with a checkout attached.

Amazon

The demand is already standing there, which is the whole appeal. Marketplace Pulse put Amazon at roughly 36% of the entire US eCommerce market in 2025, so being absent from it, or present but badly presented, is a decision rather than an oversight. The trade is that you are renting that demand. Fees come off every sale, the customer belongs to the platform rather than to you, the rules change without asking, and you are one search result away from a competitor selling something close enough.

Walmart, Best Buy and the rest

Less crowded than Amazon and often better margin, with real audiences behind them. The trade is stricter entry: more specific data requirements, slower approvals, and category rules that will reject a listing without explaining which field was wrong. Worth it where your product genuinely fits the buyer.

Most sellers end up with both

Marketplaces for reach, your own store for margin and for the customers you want to keep. That only works if one product record feeds all of it, which is why the data comes before the channels rather than after them.

If you do not have a store yet, that is website design and development, including WooCommerce builds. This page picks up once a store exists: product data, listings, feeds and channels. Two different jobs, and it is worth knowing which one you are actually buying.

How the work actually goesfive stages, and your half of each one.

Your half is heavier on this service than on the others, because nobody outside your business knows your products the way you do. The specifics you can give in stage two are worth more than anything a tool can infer.

01

Export and audit

What we do

Pull the actual product data out of every system rather than working from a dashboard, then compare them against each other. Most of the real problems only appear when two exports disagree.

What you provide

Access to the store, any marketplace seller accounts, and the point of sale or inventory system if you run one.

02

Learn the products

What we do

Work out what actually distinguishes your products, which ones make the money, and what a buyer needs to know before choosing. Listings written without this read like a spec sheet.

What you provide

An hour or two, and the answers you already give customers on the phone. This is the single highest-value thing you contribute.

03

Fix the record

What we do

Standardize naming, complete missing attributes, correct categories, group variants properly and clean identifiers, so every channel is reading from one sound source.

What you provide

Decisions on anything genuinely ambiguous, and sign-off before changes go live on a channel.

04

Rebuild the listings

What we do

Titles, bullets, descriptions, attributes and image sets rewritten per channel, respecting each one's rules rather than pasting the same content everywhere.

What you provide

Product photography if the existing images will not clear channel requirements, and a priority order if the catalog is large.

05

Watch and adjust

What we do

Track what moved after the changes, per channel, and feed that back into the next batch rather than assuming the first rewrite was right.

What you provide

Tell us what is selling and what is being returned. Return reasons are the cheapest listing research there is.

Once the catalog is cleankeeping it that way.

Catalogs drift

New products arrive, suppliers change specifications, marketplaces update their requirements, and a listing that passed last year quietly stops meeting the rules. Nothing announces this. It shows up as a product that stopped selling for no obvious reason.

Ongoing upkeep runs on website care

It ends up being the same work as maintaining a site, so it is billed the same way, on a monthly plan starting at $299 a month. That covers watching listings and feeds, catching drift, and handling the small changes as they come, rather than letting a year of them pile up into another audit.

New products, as they come

Adding products later is the same per-listing work as the original batch, quoted the same way. There is no penalty for starting with a subset of the catalog, and starting with your best sellers is usually the sensible order.

Clean listings still have to be found

A catalog in good order is what traffic lands on, not what produces it. Marketplace listings compete inside each platform's own search, where the ranking factors are the very things this work fixes: title relevance, attribute completeness, images, category placement. On your own store the same product data feeds Google Shopping and AI answers, and that is SEO, GEO and AI search, which is where the catalog work pays off twice. Where you need volume sooner than search can build it, paid campaigns cover the gap.

What does eCommerce and marketplace work include?
Product data cleanup, listing optimization, marketplace channel setup, feed and inventory alignment, enhanced product content, structured data on your own store, and channel performance review. The starting point depends on whether the problem is the data, the plumbing, or the listings themselves, which is what the audit determines.
Can you build the store itself?
Yes, but that is a different service. Building a store, including WooCommerce, is website design and development. This page covers what happens once a store exists: the product data, the listings, the feeds and the channels. Plenty of businesses need both, and they are quoted separately so you can see what each one costs.
Which marketplaces do you work with?
Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy most often, plus your own store. Others can be scoped where your product genuinely fits the audience. Each has its own data requirements, category rules and approval process, and a listing that passes on one will not automatically pass on another.
Why is listing work priced per listing?
Because catalogs vary enormously and a flat fee would either overcharge a small one or undercharge a large one. It is $150 per listing, or per group of near-identical products, so forty variants of one item are not priced as forty listings. You can also start with a subset rather than committing the whole catalog at once.
Do I need my own website if I sell on marketplaces?
Usually yes, eventually. Marketplaces give you demand you did not have to earn, but you are renting it: fees come off every sale, the customer belongs to the platform, and the rules can change without asking. Your own store is where the margin and the customer relationship live. Most sellers end up running both.
Can you help when stock does not match across systems?
Yes, and that is what the feed and inventory review is for. Overselling and phantom out-of-stocks almost always trace to how data moves between your store, your point of sale and each channel rather than to any one system being broken. We map the flow end to end and find where it drifts.
How long does a catalog cleanup take?
It scales with the catalog and with how much product knowledge you can give us early. An audit is a matter of weeks. Listing work runs in batches, and starting with your best sellers usually shows whether the approach is working before the rest of the catalog is committed.
Who owns the accounts and the content?
You do. Seller accounts, the store, the product data and all the written content stay in your name on platforms you control. If we stopped working together tomorrow you would keep every listing and every word of it.
