Recovering Amazon listings after health-claim disapprovals

A pharmacy OTC range on Amazon was hamstrung by listing suspensions and vague bullet points copied from suppliers.

Sponsored product spend was live, but half the hero SKUs were inactive. The e-commerce manager spent hours each week fixing suppressions without understanding root cause.

Listing forensics

We audited titles, bullets, and A+ content against Amazon health policy and ASA-style claim rules. Supplier marketing copy was rewritten in plain, allowable language with consistent ingredient statements.

Advertising restructure

Campaigns were split by category with negatives for irrelevant health queries. Landing pages on Amazon were aligned to the same claims as the Shopify site to avoid cross-channel contradictions.

Steady state

A monthly disapproval watchlist and image standards doc meant new SKUs launched cleanly. The team could see margin by line instead of guessing from Amazon's default reports.
