It does not care about your heritage, your market share or your retail presence.
The search algorithm ranks listings on four things. Conversion rate. Click-through. Stock levels. Price.
That is the whole list.
Your brand name does not appear on it.
In a supermarket, shelf position comes from trading terms and buyer relationships. On Amazon, it comes from ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ. Yesterday's performance.
A brand selling ten million units through Tesco starts at zero on Amazon. A small competitor with a better listing and a lower price will outrank them.
This is not a flaw. It is the design.
Amazon rewards what sells today. Not what sold last year.
If your listing does not convert, you lose position. If you go out of stock, you lose it faster.

On Amazon, you earn your position every day. The brands that accept this early are the ones that grow.
