There are many reasons for this situation, such as inaccurate keyword settings for advertisements, unattractive prices for image titles, low review ratings, and so on. At this time, we should check the keywords of the product listing and cancel the irrelevant or low-relevance words. Next, we need to optimize the main image, title, price and review.

3) Low exposure, clicks, and conversion rate

  • ④ keywords Few choices;
  • ⑤The quality of the listing is not high, and the price of the picture title is not attractive;
