There's a listing optimization gap almost nobody talks about. It's not the title

There's a listing optimization gap almost nobody talks about.
It's not the title. It's not even the bullets.
It's the first image on mobile.
On desktop your main image looks clean. On a phone, where 60-70% of Amazon traffic comes from, that same image is a postage stamp.
If your product doesn't read clearly at that size - if the differentiation isn't obvious in 2 seconds - you're losing clicks before anyone reads a word of your listing.
We've seen conversion rates jump just from reworking a main image for mobile legibility.
Not a new photo shoot. Just a tighter crop, cleaner background, less dead space.
It's one of those things that takes 20 minutes to fix and can be worth a lot more than that.
Pull up your best ASIN on your phone right now. Does it compete?
