Localization Accuracy

The whole point of using a link localization tool is to get your international visitors to the right product in their local Amazon storefront so they can easily buy. Doing this well can significantly increase your total commissions without any increase in your traffic, but using a sub-par service with low accuracy can actually drastically lower your commissions.

With this in mind, the first question you should ask when comparing Amazon link localization services is "Which one works best?"

Below are our findings and results of our testing the accuracy of Amazon L vs. Geniuslink (we highly encourage anyone who is equally as curious to do their own testing -- let us know if you have any questions on how to easily set up an accurate test!).

Link customization

Geniuslink gives you the tools to do exactly that. This is another major advantage of Geniuslink over OneLink.

However, with Geniuslink you can actually make adjustments to fine-tune how the link functions and completely customize the link for your varied audience. See our full step-by-step guide.
