Show Notes

In the most important discovery since Steven Pope proved A+ Content indexes on Amazon, My Amazon Guy is yet again at the forefront for industry best practices.

ALL THE SEO TOOLS ARE WRONG

Many Amazon SEO tools are incorrectly counting spaces against your character counts for the search terms field on Seller Central. My favorite 2 keyword tools Helium 10 & ZonGuru and many other tools are counting spaces towards your 250 character count.

Why does this matter? Because that’s 30-45 extra bytes, 5-10 extra key phrases you can add to your search terms field that the tools are telling you that you don’t have room for.
