Marketing on Ozon: How to Increase Sales
Many sellers on Ozon face the same problem: a product appears on Ozon, the listing is set up, photos are uploaded, and the description is filled out—but there are almost no sales. The reason is not always the product itself. It’s difficult for new product listings to compete with offerings that have already built up a sales history, reviews, and behavioral statistics. To attract buyers’ attention, it’s not enough to simply list a product on the marketplace. It’s important for the product listing to get views, appear in search results, spark users’ interest, and gradually accumulate positive signals: additions to favorites and shopping carts, reviews, questions, and other buyer actions.
In this article, we’ll explore which tools help promote products and stores on Ozon, how the main behavioral factors work, and what strategy to use when launching new product listings.
How Product Promotion Works on Ozon
When a shopper enters a search query, the marketplace’s algorithms analyze a variety of factors to determine the order in which products are displayed.
These include:
- relevance to the search query;
- the quality of the product listing;
- price and product availability;
- rating;
- customer reviews;
- behavioral factors;
- card conversion rate.
The more positive signals a product receives, the higher the likelihood that it will be displayed more frequently to potential buyers.
SEO Promotion for Ozon Listings
Promotion begins long before the first orders are received. The foundation of any successful product listing is proper SEO optimization.
It’s important to pay attention to:
- the product title;
- the product specifications;
- the description;
- keywords;
- high-quality photos;
- all required fields filled out.
A well-designed listing ranks higher in search results and attracts more organic traffic. However, SEO optimization alone isn’t enough. If the listing doesn’t spark interest among buyers, it will be much harder to achieve top rankings.
Why Search-Driven Traffic Is So Important
When a user finds a product on their own through Ozon’s search and opens the product listing, the marketplace receives a signal that the listing matches the buyer’s query. This is precisely why search-driven traffic is considered one of the most natural promotion mechanisms. A gradual increase in the number of clicks helps the product listing accumulate statistics more quickly.
Once a user has found a product, the next stage begins: interaction with the product listing.
At this stage, the following factors are particularly important:
- listing views;
- viewing time;
- examining photos;
- navigating between product details;
- the buyer’s subsequent actions.
The greater users’ interest in a product card, the more data the algorithm receives about the product’s demand. Therefore, product card promotion is typically approached from multiple angles simultaneously, rather than being limited to a single type of activity.
Adding a product to favorites
Not every visitor makes a purchase right away. This is especially true for high-priced items, electronics, furniture, and home improvement products. In many cases, shoppers first save a product they like to their favorites so they can return to it later.
Regularly adding products to favorites indicates high audience interest and helps foster natural user behavior within the product card.

Adding a product to the cart
Adding a product to the cart is considered one of the strongest signals of interest. The buyer is no longer just browsing the offer but is considering placing an order. That’s why shopping cart functionality is often used when promoting new product cards and items that need to accumulate behavioral data more quickly.
At the same time, it’s important to maintain a natural balance between product page views and the number of items added to the cart. For example, if you have 1,000 views per product page, you shouldn’t aim for the same number of items added to the cart. If, with that number of views, you simulate up to 50 additions to the cart, that behavior will appear natural.

Questions and Answers on the Product Card
The Q&A section allows potential buyers to clarify product details before placing an order. Active engagement in this section makes the product page more informative and helps address objections before the purchase is made.
These questions are most useful for:
- electronics;
- home appliances;
- clothing;
- building materials;
- products with complex specifications.
The more detailed the product card is, the higher the likelihood of a successful sale.

Comprehensive promotion of the store and brand on Ozon
Store development isn’t limited to promoting individual products. If a customer is satisfied with their purchase, they may return to buy other products from the same seller.
That’s why it’s important to work on store and brand recognition:
- regularly update the product lineup;
- maintain a high rating;
- get new reviews;
- design the storefront;
- develop your own brand within the marketplace.
A comprehensive approach helps increase not only sales of individual products but also customer loyalty to the store as a whole. In practice, the best results come from combining several tools.
For example, promoting a new product listing might look like this:
- SEO optimization of the product listing.
- Product search based on targeted queries.
- Clicks to the product listing.
- Adding the product to favorites.
- Adding to the cart.
- Receiving the first reviews.
- Handling customer inquiries.
This scenario establishes a natural user behavior pattern and helps the product page reach the necessary metrics faster.
What Has Changed in Ozon’s Marketing in 2026
Of course, simply listing products is no longer enough. Today, for successful promotion, it’s important to work simultaneously on several fronts:
- SEO optimization of product listings;
- behavioral factors;
- content quality;
- product reputation;
- brand development;
- increasing product listing conversion rates.
It is precisely this comprehensive approach that allows you to generate stable organic traffic and use Ozon’s advertising tools more effectively. A well-optimized product listing helps the product appear in search results, and user behavior confirms its popularity.
Search-driven clicks, product page views, additions to favorites and shopping carts, as well as customer reviews and questions, contribute to positive product metrics and help increase its visibility on the marketplace. The more naturally a product listing develops, the higher the likelihood of attracting additional organic traffic and increasing sales.
