An Amazon description template that answers the buyer

Updated 2026-09-24 · a working page, not a sales page

On Amazon the bullets do the selling and the description does the reassuring. Most descriptions are written as if the opposite were true, which is why they are ignored.

Short answer

The five bullets

Each bullet is one benefit tied to one fact, in the same grammatical shape as the others so the block scans as a set.

The description, block by block

Phrases that mark the copy as generated

Category-inflation adjectives ('premium', 'revolutionary', 'game-changing'), the em-dash habit, and triads ('faster, smarter, safer'). Buyers read these as noise, and they take up the characters the facts needed.

Questions

How long should an Amazon description be?

Long enough for the five blocks, usually 150–300 words. Length is not the variable; specificity is.

Should the description repeat the bullets?

Repeat the facts, not the sentences. Different readers consume one or the other.

Does A+ content replace the description?

It replaces the visual layer for many buyers. Keep the text description complete for the ones who read it.
