Amazon is constantly evolving, and 2025 is no exception. If you’re selling on Amazon, staying up to date with these changes is crucial to remain compliant and competitive, especially as we approach quarter four.
Here’s a quick guide to key recent Amazon changes and how you can adapt.
1. Amazon Brand Analytics
Amazon Brand Analytics is a powerful tool for brand-registered sellers, providing insights into customer search and purchasing behaviour. Originally launched in the US in 2019, it’s now becoming globally available, with recent rollouts to UK sellers and other marketplaces expected in 2025.
Why it matters:
Amazon Brand Analytics provides insights on top search terms, market basket analysis, repeat purchases, and customer loyalty. This allows sellers to make data-driven decisions to optimise listings, improve marketing campaigns, and boost sales.
Quick actions you can take now:
- Check the top search terms report to identify high-volume keywords to integrate into your listings and advertising campaigns.
- Review your market basket analysis to identify cross-selling or bundle opportunities.
- Schedule monthly reviews of your Brand Analytics reports to track performance and adjust strategies proactively.
2. Amazon product title requirements
Amazon tightened product title requirements in early 2025. Titles now have strict character limits (typically 200, but as low as 80 in some categories) and prohibit:
- Promotional language
- Emojis or special characters
- All-caps wording (unless it’s your official brand name)
- Repeating the same word more than twice
Why it matters:
Listings that don’t comply are subject to automated suppression, removing them from search results without warning, negatively affecting rankings and sales.
Actions to take immediately:
- Export your listings and ensure titles comply with character limits and restrictions.
- Remove prohibited terms like “best offer”, or repetitive words, to avoid suppression.
3. New Amazon AI tools coming soon
Amazon is testing two AI-based tools:
- Enhance My Listings – generates suggested product titles, bullet points, and descriptions using existing product data.
- Project Amelia – an AI chat assistant designed to answer seller questions, perform basic account tasks, and assist with compliance.
Currently invite-only in the US, a broader rollout, including the UK, is anticipated later this year or early 2026.
Why it matters:
These tools could streamline the listing process and simplify routine tasks. However, early feedback suggests AI-generated content is excellent for SEO but can feel generic and lacks personality, especially for nuanced or brand-driven products.
Recommendations for using Amazon’s AI tools:
- Treat AI-generated listings as drafts. Always review and edit manually to ensure they reflect your brand voice and customer expectations.
- Consider AI as a junior copywriter: helpful for initial ideas, but requiring human input to refine quality and creativity.
Practical next steps for your Amazon Seller Central account
Here’s how you can practically respond to these changes today:

- Check product title compliance: Prevent listing suppressions by auditing your titles against Amazon’s guidelines.
