Amazon A+ Content Best Practices: 10 Modules That Really Convert
Last updated: March 18, 2026
Reading time: approx. 12 minutes
Amazon A+ Content (formerly EBC — Enhanced Brand Content) can lift your conversion rate by up to 8% — but only if you pick the right modules and use them strategically. Most sellers use A+ Content, yet only a few unlock its full potential.
In this guide we show you the 10 most important A+ content modules, explain when to use which module, and give you concrete best practices for each one. By the end, you'll know exactly how to create A+ Content that doesn't just look good — it sells.
Table of contents
Why module choice decides between success and failure
A+ Content is more than pretty images below the product description. Every module has a specific function in the buying process: building trust, overcoming objections, explaining features or driving the purchase.
The most common mistake: sellers pick modules by visual criteria instead of strategic ones. A beautiful banner does little if the customer is actually looking for technical details. Conversely, a wall of text bores the customer who needs emotional persuasion.
The 4 functions of A+ Content modules
Inform
Explain features, specs, usage
Connect emotionally
Lifestyle, storytelling, brand identity
Persuade
Overcome objections, show comparisons
Convert
Cross-selling, present your range
The art lies in combining modules so they guide the customer through these four phases. A customer who has been informed, addressed emotionally and persuaded buys — one who only sees images keeps scrolling.
Module 1: Standard Image & Text
Ideal for: feature explanations, USP communication, usage scenarios
The Standard Image & Text module is the most versatile A+ Content module. It combines a larger image (left or right) with text on the opposite side. Perfect for explaining individual product features with visual support.
Best practices for Standard Image & Text:
- ✓One feature per module: focus on a single aspect, not everything
- ✓Image shows the feature: the image should illustrate what the text describes
- ✓Headline with a benefit: lead with the benefit, not the feature
- ✓Short paragraphs: a maximum of 3-4 sentences, formatted for mobile
Weak:
"Our product has lots of great features like A, B, C, D and E. It's high-quality and durable."
Strong:
"Never cold coffee again: the double-walled insulation keeps your drink hot for 8 hours."
Module 2: Comparison table
Ideal for: comparing product variants, presenting your range, cross-selling
The comparison table is one of the highest-converting modules. It shows up to 5 products side by side and enables a direct feature comparison. Customers love clarity — and the table delivers exactly that.
Important:
The comparison table may only compare your own products — never competitors. Amazon rejects content with competitor comparisons immediately.
Best practices for comparison tables:
- ✓Clear differentiation: choose comparison criteria that show real differences
- ✓Highlight the current product: mark the product the customer is currently on
- ✓Link product images: each image can link to the corresponding ASIN
- ✓A maximum of 5-6 comparison criteria: more becomes cluttered, especially on mobile
The comparison table is especially valuable for cross-selling. If a customer has chosen the wrong product for their needs, the table helps guide them to the right one — instead of losing them to a competitor.
Module 3: Standard Four Images & Text
Ideal for: feature overviews, usage steps, product benefits
This module shows 4 square images in a row, each with a heading and a short text underneath. It's perfect for communicating several features or benefits at a glance.
Best practices for Four Images & Text:
- ✓Consistent style: all 4 images should fit together visually
- ✓Icons instead of product photos: for features, icons often work better
- ✓Short headlines: a maximum of 3-4 words per heading
- ✓Text under 100 characters: longer text gets cut off on mobile
Typical use cases: "4 reasons why customers love us," "How easy it works" (steps 1-4), or "Included in the box" (showing accessories).
Module 4: Standard Single Image & Highlights
Ideal for: hero images, lifestyle shots, emotional appeal
A large, attention-grabbing image with bullet-point highlights below it. This module works brilliantly as the opener of your A+ Content — it draws the eye and instantly communicates the most important benefits.
Best practices for Single Image & Highlights:
- ✓Use a hero shot: your best lifestyle or in-use image
- ✓No text overlay needed: the highlights carry the information
- ✓Benefit-oriented bullets: what's in it for the customer?
- ✓A maximum of 4-5 highlights: less is more
Module 5: Standard Technical Specifications
Ideal for: technical products, dimensions, materials, specifications
Technical specifications in a clear tabular format. Indispensable for products that need explaining such as electronics, tools or fitness equipment. Customers who reach this point want facts — give them to them.
Best practices for Technical Specifications:
- ✓Select relevant specs: only what matters for the buying decision
- ✓Clear labels: "Weight," not "W." or unclear abbreviations
- ✓Include units: "2.5 kg," not just "2.5"
- ✓Product image alongside: shows what the specs refer to
This module reduces returns: when customers know exactly what they're getting before they buy, there are fewer unpleasant surprises.
Module 6: Standard Company Logo
Ideal for: brand building, recognition, building trust
A simple module that shows your logo with a short brand description. Often underrated, but important for branding and building trust — especially for lesser-known brands.
Best practices for Company Logo:
- ✓High-resolution logo: PNG with a transparent background
- ✓Short claim: what makes your brand special? (1-2 sentences)
- ✓Place it at the end: as the closing element of your A+ Content
- ✓No contact details: Amazon prohibits emails, URLs and phone numbers
Module 7: Amazon Brand Story
Ideal for: emotional storytelling, brand history, differentiation
The Amazon Brand Story is a special format within A+ Content that displays a scrollable brand narrative above your products. It's one of the most effective tools for building emotional customer loyalty.
Why Brand Story is so valuable:
- Appears prominently above the regular A+ Content
- Creates an emotional connection to the brand
- Sets you apart from anonymous competitors
- Can be applied to all products in your brand
Best practices for Brand Story:
- ✓Authentic story: why does your brand exist? What drives you?
- ✓High-quality background images: the images are the visual anchor
- ✓Customer in focus: show how you improve your customers' lives
- ✓Embed product cards: link to your bestsellers
Module 9: Standard Multiple Image Module A
Ideal for: product details, material proof, close-ups
This module shows several images of different sizes in an asymmetric layout. Perfect for showing different aspects of a product — from the large overview shot to the detailed close-up.
Best practices for Multiple Images:
- ✓Different perspectives: combine the overall view with details
- ✓Show material quality: close-ups of textures, seams, craftsmanship
- ✓Consistent visual language: the same background or color scheme
- ✓Size as hierarchy: the most important image should be the largest
Module 10: Standard Single Image & Specs Detail
Ideal for: detailed feature explanations, product construction, infographics
An image with detailed specifications alongside it. Similar to Module 5, but with more visual focus. Ideal for infographic-style presentations where the image illustrates the specs.
Best practices for Single Image & Specs:
- ✓Annotated image: arrows or markers that point to specs
- ✓Exploded view: for assembled products, show the individual parts
- ✓Dimensions: visualize size relationships
- ✓Legible type in the image: at least 12pt for mobile readability
The optimal module order
The order of your modules matters just as much as their selection. You're telling a story that moves the customer from "interested" to "convinced."
Recommended module structure:
Attention (hero shot)
Single Image & Highlights or Image Overlay → draws the eye
Communicate features
Four Images & Text or Image & Text modules → explain the core benefits
Provide the details
Technical Specs or Single Image & Specs → for fact-oriented buyers
Build trust
Brand Story or Company Logo → convey your brand identity
Cross-selling
Comparison table → show other products, present your range
A+ Content is like a sales conversation: you start with what grabs attention, then deliver the facts, build trust and close with an offer. Most sellers do it the other way around — and then wonder why nobody scrolls to the end.

Mobile optimization: the underrated success factor
Over 70% of Amazon purchases now happen on mobile devices. Yet most sellers create their A+ Content on desktop — and never test it on a phone.
Typical mobile problems:
- Text in images is too small and unreadable
- Long text gets cut off without a "Read more" link
- Important information slips out of the visible area
- Comparison tables get squeezed horizontally
Mobile-first checklist for A+ Content:
- ✓Text in images: at least 14pt, better 16pt
- ✓Text blocks: a maximum of 100 characters per section
- ✓Headlines: a maximum of 5-6 words
- ✓Comparison tables: a maximum of 3-4 columns
- ✓Most important content up top: the first 2 modules are decisive
- ✓Test on a real device: check on a phone before submitting
A simple test: open your listing in the Amazon app. Can you read all the important information without zooming? If not, rework your modules.
Your action plan for A+ Content that converts
A+ Content (formerly EBC) is not a nice-to-have — it's an essential conversion lever. With the right modules, arranged strategically and optimized for mobile, you can lift your sales significantly.
Your key takeaways:
- Choose modules strategically: by function (inform, connect emotionally, persuade), not by looks
- Use the comparison table: one of the highest-converting modules — indispensable for cross-selling
- Mind the order: hero → features → details → trust → cross-selling
- Mobile first: over 70% buy on mobile — test your content on a phone
- Activate Brand Story: it appears above the A+ Content and builds trust
