Marketplace Optimisation
Visibility and performance across marketplace search
Marketplaces play a significant role in how customers discover and buy products.
For many categories, they function as search engines, comparison tools and checkout experiences in one place. Customers use them to evaluate options, compare pricing, assess credibility and make quick purchasing decisions.
Marketplace optimisation focuses on ensuring your products are visible, accurate and compelling within these highly structured environments.
Why marketplace optimisation
matters
Marketplaces reward clarity and consistency.
Product data, imagery, pricing and descriptions all influence how products surface in marketplace search results and how confident customers feel choosing them. Poor structure or inconsistency limits visibility and erodes trust.
When done well, marketplace optimisation supports:
Discoverability within marketplace search
Accurate product representation at scale
Stronger consideration and conversion
Alignment between brand, catalogue and customer expectations
Treating marketplaces as an afterthought creates avoidable friction.
How we approach
marketplace optimisation
We approach marketplaces as search-led commerce environments.
The focus is on how products are interpreted, ranked and compared within each platform's structure. That includes how information is organised, how relevance is signalled and how consistency is maintained across large catalogues.
Marketplace optimisation applies the same principles used in search, content and data strategy, adapted to the constraints and behaviours of marketplace platforms. The aim is clarity, not complexity.
Product data, content
and consistency
Marketplaces rely heavily on structured information.
Titles, attributes, imagery and descriptions need to work together to support both discovery and decision-making. Inconsistent or incomplete data limits visibility and increases the risk of misrepresentation.
This work often builds on content and catalogue strategy, ensuring the same product truth is reflected wherever customers encounter it.
Optimisation beyond
initial setup
Marketplace optimisation is not a one-off task.
As catalogues change, competition increases and customer behaviour shifts, listings need to be reviewed and refined. Optimisation focuses on maintaining accuracy, improving relevance and protecting performance over time.
This avoids the gradual decline that often follows initial marketplace launches.
Consistency across
commerce environments
Marketplaces influence how customers judge brands everywhere else.
Marketplace optimisation works best when product data, content and positioning are aligned with your wider eCommerce activity, ensuring customers see the same product truth wherever they encounter it.
When marketplaces
matter commercially
Marketplace optimisation becomes a priority when these platforms represent a meaningful route to market or a key comparison point for customers.
We help brands understand where optimisation has the greatest impact and how marketplaces fit into a wider growth strategy.
