A Guide to the Amazon Search Algorithm
Amazon has evolved into a powerful search engine, with over 61% of U.S. shoppers starting their product searches there. Unlike Google, which serves a mix of informational and transactional queries, Amazon's search engine is purely focused on helping users find and buy products. Its A10 algorithm prioritizes factors like product relevance, sales performance, customer behavior, and even external traffic. To rank higher on Amazon, sellers must optimize listings with relevant keywords, strong images, and positive reviews while also leveraging external marketing to drive traffic.

When brands know what customers are doing and where to find them, marketing can be much more personalized.
Why Is Branding Post-COVID-19 so Important in the Specialty Retail Industry?

Finding the Ideal Meal: Connecting with Pet Owners Earlier

Since our earlier blog post about the telecom industry, Trone has taken another look at our Spring 2017 national survey of 980 home internet subscribers to uncover additional insights and ways for smaller, regional internet providers to more efficiently differentiate their marketing efforts from those of larger, national telecom companies.
