1. Amazon SEO – You need to optimize your product pages on Amazon to enhance their visibility in Amazon’s organic search results.
2. Amazon Advertising – Native Amazon advertising formats can be used to promote your brand and products. This is essentially a paid service.
3. External Marketing – Here, the marketing is done outside Amazon, using promo channels that are not directly owned by the platform.
