You are a senior Amazon brand store strategist. You know that most
Amazon Stores are built as product catalogs — a homepage with a
grid of ASINs and maybe a few category subpages. They don't guide
the customer, don't tell a story, and don't surface the right
product for each type of buyer. Your job here is to design a Store
structure that converts at every level: homepage, subpages,
featured collections, and individual product tiles.

I'm going to provide brand and product data. Design the complete
Store structure.

STORE ARCHITECTURE PRINCIPLES:
1. The homepage should answer the question "Is this brand for me?"
   in 3 seconds.
2. Navigation subpages should be organized by how customers shop
   (by use case, by recipient, by room) — not by how the seller
   thinks about their catalog (by SKU or product type).
3. Featured products on the homepage should be bestsellers, hero
   products, and high-margin items — not a random grid.
4. Seasonal or promotional tiles should be swappable without
   rebuilding the page.

STEP 1: HOMEPAGE STRUCTURE
Design the homepage with these elements:

HERO SECTION
- Headline (under 50 characters): Lead with the brand's primary
  value proposition, not the brand name.
- Subheadline (under 100 characters): One sentence on who this is for.
- Hero image brief: What scene/product/context should dominate the
  hero banner?
- Primary CTA: Where does the hero section link? (Best seller, new
  arrival, gift collection, or category page)

FEATURED SECTION 1 — BESTSELLERS / HERO PRODUCTS
Select 3-4 products that represent the brand's strongest
conversion rate and best margin. Brief on tile copy (product name
+ one-line hook for each).

FEATURED SECTION 2 — BY USE CASE OR CUSTOMER TYPE
Design 2-4 tiles organized around customer intent:
"Gifts for home cooks" / "For the serious baker" / "Weeknight
cooking essentials" / etc.
Each tile links to a subpage or filtered view.

FEATURED SECTION 3 — NEW ARRIVALS OR SEASONAL
1-2 tiles for current promotion, new launch, or seasonal story.
Designed to be swapped every 4-6 weeks.

STEP 2: SUBPAGE STRUCTURE
Recommend 3-5 subpages and brief each one:
- Page name (as it appears in nav)
- Customer intent this page serves
- Products to feature (and in what order)
- Page-level headline
- Any custom content or copy recommended (beyond product tiles)

STEP 3: NAVIGATION LABELS
Write the actual nav label for each subpage (under 20 characters).
Evaluate: Would a first-time visitor understand where each link
goes? If not, revise.

STEP 4: SPONSORED BRANDS STORE SPOTLIGHT COMPATIBILITY
Flag which subpages are strong candidates for Sponsored Brands
Store Spotlight ads — these should be pages with clear customer
intent and 3+ products.

Output format:

BEFORE YOU EXECUTE:

1. If any required input is missing, unclear, or looks malformed,
   stop and ask me a specific clarifying question before proceeding.
   Do not guess or fill in plausible values.

2. If I have fewer than 6 active ASINs, note that a multi-subpage
   structure may be premature — a single strong homepage may perform
   better than thin subpages.

3. If I haven't provided information about which products are
   bestsellers or highest-margin, ask before placing products in
   the hero or featured sections.

4. If you are less than 95% confident you understand what I'm asking
   for, ask me to clarify before executing the task.

5. After completing the structure, flag any section where the
   recommended layout assumes photography or design assets that
   may not exist.

PASTE YOUR BRAND AND PRODUCT DATA BELOW. Include: brand name,
target customer, all active ASINs with titles and sell prices,
which products are bestsellers, any seasonal or promotional
priorities, whether a Brand Store is already live (and if so,
current structure), and any design or imagery assets available.

Photography available:

Gifting is a big purchase driver — several reviews mention buying
as gifts for family members.
01

1. Organize your Store by how customers shop, not by how you think about your catalog. A customer shopping for a gift doesn't think "I need a spatula" — they think "I need something for a home cook who loves to bake." A "Gifts for the Home Cook" subpage converts better than a "Spatulas" subpage for that buyer.

02

The Store homepage is the destination for your Sponsored Brands headline ads. If your homepage doesn't reflect what the ad promises, you'll lose the visitor in the first three seconds. Make sure the hero section of your Store directly matches the most prominent Sponsored Brands campaign you're running.

03

Amazon Stores are updated separately from listings — treat them like a mini-website that needs quarterly maintenance. Swap seasonal tiles every few months, add new products to relevant subpages as they launch, and check that all featured products are actually in stock before a high-traffic event. ```

What does the Amazon Storefront Structure Planner prompt do?
Design the information architecture, page structure, and content strategy for your Amazon Brand Store — so it converts browsers into buyers instead of just displaying products in a grid. Most Amazon Stores are poorly structured catalog dumps. A good Store is a guided shopping experience.
What data do I need to use this prompt?
An example of the exact input format is provided on this page under "Example Input." Generally you'll prepare your data in the structure shown, paste it after the prompt body, and the AI will return the analysis described above. If you're missing any inputs, the prompt will ask you what it needs.
How long does this take to set up?
Setup time for this prompt is 30-60 mins. That includes pulling your data, formatting it to match the example, and running the prompt. Once your data pipeline is set up the first time, subsequent runs take only a few minutes.
Which AI tool should I use this with?
This prompt is designed to work with any major large language model — ChatGPT (GPT-4 or newer), Claude (Sonnet 4 or newer), or Gemini. For structured analysis, math, and tabular outputs, Claude and GPT-4 class models produce the most reliable results.
Does this prompt work for Shopify or other platforms?
This prompt is built for Amazon sellers and references Amazon-specific data points such as referral fees, FBA fulfillment fees, and ASIN-level metrics. The underlying methodology can be adapted to other platforms by substituting equivalent inputs, but the prompt as written is Amazon-first.
What skill level is required to use this prompt?
This prompt is rated intermediate. Some familiarity with your platform's data exports and basic AI prompting is helpful for getting the most out of it. Most ecommerce operators can use it productively within a single session.
Is this prompt free to use?
Yes. Every prompt in the SMB Advantage Prompt Library is free for any small business operator to use. The only cost is whatever you pay for your AI tool subscription (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, etc.).
