Amazon Computers & Accessories Case Studies
Real campaigns we ran for computers & accessories brands on Amazon — what was broken, what we changed and what it moved.
+96% organic sales
The search term report was full of laptop model numbers nobody had read
Shoppers buying accessories do not search for the accessory — they search for the machine they own. A year of search term reports held thousands of model numbers the catalog had never answered.
Rating 3.6 → 4.1
When an operating system update breaks a product you shipped two years ago
Hardware that worked perfectly at launch started collecting one-star reviews after a major OS release. The product had not changed — the computers it plugged into had.
Current-generation share 38% → 84%
Three model years on one search page, and no way to tell them apart
A laptop brand refreshes its line every year and kept every past listing live. Shoppers could not tell which year they were buying, so many of them bought neither.
+44% sessions
Shoppers search monitors as a spec string, not as a product
Nobody types “good gaming monitor”. They type a size, a resolution and a refresh rate in that order — and the brand's listings led with a marketing name.
Return rate 23% → 8%
Cutting returns on a dock by helping shoppers identify their own port
Almost a quarter of docking stations came back, and virtually none of them were faulty. Buyers could not tell which port their laptop had, and the listing assumed they could.
Conversion +71% with the premium intact
Selling the thing that happens after the drive fails
Every drive on the page claims reliability, so the claim carries no weight. The brand already included a recovery service nobody was reading about, and that turned out to be the entire argument.
New-to-brand orders +134%
The real competitor was a line item on the internet bill
A router brand was fighting other routers for people already shopping for routers. The much larger audience was renting equipment from their provider every month and had never considered owning one.
+39% sessions
The catalog spoke engineering; the buyers spoke forum
Enthusiast buyers describe components in a vocabulary that grew up in forums and videos, not in datasheets. The brand's listings were written by the people who designed the parts.
Genuine cartridge share 29% → 63%
Defending the cartridge against forty compatible clones
The printers sold well and the ink did not. Every search for a cartridge returned dozens of cheaper compatible versions, and the brand's own page gave shoppers no reason to pay more.
