Boosting Amazon BSR Through Strategic category optimization

Background

Elicore, a supplement company focused on delivering high-quality wellness products, partnered with BellaVix to strengthen their Amazon performance. The listings were already built out, but there was little time for the usual deep optimization work. Instead, the team needed to find fast, impactful ways to strengthen performance to maximize results.

PROBLEM

Listing visibility

Having products listed under highly competitive categories on Amazon can be a major setback. Products may struggle to gain visibility and miss out on valuable traffic, especially when selling supplements.

In this case, the client’s listings were placed under broad categories with limited discoverability, leaving them buried in rankings.

Without quick action, these products risked having weak Best Seller Rank (BSR) positions and, therefore, a reduction in visibility to shoppers.

Summary

  • Supplement listing BSR ranking improved 96% after recategorization.

  • Children’s vitamins ranking improved 95% in its subcategory.

  • Achieved top 500 placement within one week, setting the stage for stronger visibility and conversion growth.

STRATEGY

Recategorization

The BellaVix Team conducted an audit of the Elicore listings and identified an opportunity in subcategories. While the products were technically in the correct umbrella groups, the categories were too broad to reflect the products’ actual ingredients and benefits.

The team took a targeted approach:

  1. Reviewed each product’s strong points
  2. Matched them to precise Amazon subcategories where competition was narrower and more relevant.
  3. Updated categories to align listings with shopper intent and keyword searches.

This efficient category strategy created an immediate path for improved visibility.
