How to Create A+ Content on Amazon India 2026: Step-by-Step Guide with Examples

What is Amazon A+ Content (Enhanced Brand Content)?

A+ Content (formerly called Enhanced Brand Content or EBC) allows brand-registered sellers to replace their standard text description with rich media layouts featuring custom images, comparison charts, brand stories, and enhanced text. It appears in the product description section of your listing.

According to Amazon's own data, A+ Content can increase sales by 3-10% on average, with well-designed pages driving up to 25% conversion improvement. For brands selling on Amazon India, this is one of the highest-ROI activities you can invest in.

Prerequisites: What You Need Before Creating A+ Content

• Brand Registry: You must be enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry (requires a registered trademark)
• Brand ownership: Only the brand owner or authorized agent can create A+ Content
• High-resolution images: Minimum 970px wide, recommended 2000px for zoom functionality
• Content plan: Decide what story you want to tell — USPs, ingredients, brand heritage, usage instructions

Types of A+ Content on Amazon India

1. Basic A+ Content (Free for All Brand-Registered Sellers)

• Choose from 17 module types
• Add up to 5 modules per ASIN
• Mix text, images, and comparison charts
• Available for all brand-registered sellers at no cost

2. Premium A+ Content (A++ / Brand Story)

• Interactive elements: video, hover hotspots, carousel
• Full-width image banners
• Previously invite-only, now available to sellers meeting certain criteria
• Significantly higher engagement rates

Step-by-Step: Creating A+ Content on Seller Central

Step 1: Navigate to A+ Content Manager

Go to Seller Central → Advertising → A+ Content Manager. Click "Start creating A+ content".

Step 2: Choose Content Type

Select "Enhanced Brand Content" for standard A+ or "Brand Story" for the brand carousel that appears above A+ Content.

Step 3: Select Your Modules

The most effective module combinations we've tested across 500+ brands:

• Module 1 — Standard Image & Text: Hero banner with brand value proposition
• Module 2 — Standard Four Image & Text: 4 key USPs/benefits with icons
• Module 3 — Standard Comparison Chart: Your product vs competitors or variant comparison
• Module 4 — Standard Image & Text: How-to-use / ingredients breakdown
• Module 5 — Standard Tech Specs: Detailed specifications or certifications

Step 4: Design Your Images

Image specifications for A+ Content modules:

• Standard Image Header: 970 x 600 pixels
• Four Image Quadrant: 220 x 220 pixels each
• Comparison Chart Images: 150 x 300 pixels
• Single Image: 970 x 300 pixels (banner) or 300 x 300 pixels (inline)
• File format: JPEG or PNG, max 2MB per image
• RGB color mode (not CMYK)

Pro tip: Use lifestyle images showing the product in use, not just white-background studio shots. Our product photography team specializes in A+ Content imagery.

Step 5: Write Compelling Copy

A+ Content copywriting best practices:

• Lead with benefits, not features — "Wake up to salon-smooth hair" not "Contains argan oil"
• Use short paragraphs — 2-3 sentences max per text block
• Include keywords naturally — A+ text is now indexed for search
• Add social proof — "Trusted by 50,000+ customers" or certification badges
• Create urgency — "Limited edition" or "Best-selling in category"

Step 6: Apply to ASINs

After designing your A+ Content, apply it to specific ASINs. You can apply the same A+ Content to multiple ASINs within the same brand — great for product line consistency.

Step 7: Submit for Review

Amazon reviews A+ Content within 24-72 hours. Common rejection reasons:

• Making claims without substantiation ("best in India", "#1 rated")
• Including competitor brand names
• Mentioning pricing, promotions, or discounts
• Using contact information or external links
• Blurry or low-resolution images

A+ Content Best Practices That Drive 25%+ Conversion Lift

1. Tell a brand story first: Start with who you are and why you exist before diving into product details
2. Use comparison charts strategically: Compare your variants or show vs. generic alternatives (don't name competitors)
3. Mobile-first design: 70%+ of Amazon India traffic is mobile — test how modules look on small screens
4. Include lifestyle images: Products in real-life scenarios convert 30% better than studio shots alone
5. Cross-sell within A+ Content: Link to complementary products in your catalog
6. Update quarterly: Refresh A+ Content for seasonal relevance and new features

Common A+ Content Mistakes to Avoid

• Text-heavy modules: Customers scan, they don't read. Keep text minimal.
• Ignoring mobile view: Preview on mobile before submitting — some modules look terrible on small screens
• Generic stock images: Use real product photos. Customers can spot stock imagery instantly.
• No call to action: Every module should guide the customer toward purchase
• Same content for all ASINs: Customize for each product's unique selling points

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is A+ Content free on Amazon India?

Yes. Basic A+ Content is completely free for all brand-registered sellers. Premium A+ Content may have eligibility requirements but is also free when available.

Q2: Does A+ Content improve Amazon SEO rankings?

Yes, since 2024. Amazon now indexes A+ Content text for search. Including relevant keywords in your A+ copy can improve organic search visibility.

Q3: Can I use videos in A+ Content?

Only in Premium A+ Content. Standard A+ supports images and text only. However, you can add video separately through the "Product Videos" section in your listing.

Q4: How long does A+ Content take to go live?

After approval (24-72 hours), A+ Content typically appears on the listing within 24 hours. Sometimes it takes up to 7 days for full propagation.

Q5: Can I A/B test different A+ Content designs?

Yes. Amazon offers the "Manage Your Experiments" feature for brand-registered sellers. You can run A/B tests on A+ Content and measure which version drives more sales.

Q6: What's the difference between A+ Content and Brand Story?

Brand Story is a horizontal scrolling carousel that appears above A+ Content. It tells your brand narrative across multiple products. A+ Content focuses on individual product details. Use both together for maximum impact.

No. Brand Registry is mandatory. If you don't have a trademark, start the application process — it takes 4-6 months in India. Meanwhile, optimize your standard product description with HTML formatting.

Track conversion rate (Unit Session Percentage) in Business Reports before and after adding A+ Content. Also monitor the "Manage Your Experiments" results if running A/B tests.
