What is A+ Content?

A+ content is a premium offering that enhances Vendor product detail pages with in-depth item descriptions, rich images, charts and narrative copy to drive brand affinity & increase conversions.

According to Amazon, A+ Content can increase sales on average 3 to 10% by educating the consumer about your product, brand and improving SEO results. We’ve seen similar results with our own clients at CPC Strategy.
