If you’ve ever logged into Seller Central only to find that your product title or category mysteriously changed, you’re not alone.
Amazon’s catalog system is complex and even small listing edits from resellers, brand merges, or Amazon’s automated systems can cause major headaches for sellers.
These sudden changes don’t just affect your SEO, they can lead to lost sales, suppressed listings, or even policy violations if left unchecked.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through Seller Candy’s 10-step Amazon Title & Category Rescue Checklist, designed to help you:
Whether you manage your own ASINs or oversee dozens for clients, these best practices will help you stay in control of your listings and prevent Amazon’s system, or competitors, from rewriting your success.
Start with your top-performing ASINs. Review for any recent title or category changes, then check if those edits align with performance drops in:
Check title length, banned keywords, and attribute accuracy.
Use Category Listing Report (or Browse Tree Guide) to verify browse nodes; compare with competitors.
Fill all recommended fields in Seller Central and double-check for consistency.
Save copies of original titles and screenshots of category placements (screenshots or internal documents).
Open a support case with evidence and ASIN lists, attach documentation.
Submit issues using Seller Candy’s intake form or book a consult — we triage title/category errors and help escalate them quickly.
Set up weekly or monthly listing health checks and configure alerts (or use third party tools) to flag unplanned title or category changes.
Audit before Prime Day or Q4 to avoid disruptions during peak seasons.
