Auto Mode

You promised readers a “best of” list and now you’re manually curating it forever, because last month’s bestseller is this month’s discontinued product, and stale lists quietly tank both trust and rankings.

Why it matters

Set a keyword. Let the list keep itself current.

Auto Mode inserts on-topic Amazon products automatically based on a keyword, so a post can show a live, ranked list without you hand-picking every ASIN. It is ideal for category pages and “best X” roundups that should never go stale.

Choose from five premade list designs, grid cards, minimal grid, deal cards, ranked rows or a comparison table, and set the number of columns. Auto Mode inherits your default box design, so automated placements match your hand-built ones.

Place it with a single shortcode or let it populate a post automatically, and the products stay fresh as availability and pricing change.

How it works

Automate a roundup in three steps.

1

Set a keyword

Tell Auto Mode the topic, e.g. “robot vacuum”, for the post or page.

2

Pick a design

Choose one of five list layouts and the column count.

3

Place it

Drop the [ap] shortcode, or let Auto Mode insert the list for you. It refreshes on its own.

Tips & insights

  • Use Auto Mode for evergreen category pages, and hand-built boxes for your flagship reviews. Automation for breadth, curation for depth.
  • Match the Auto Mode design to your default box so automated and manual placements look like one site.
  • Keep keywords specific. “Budget mechanical keyboard” returns a tighter, more relevant list than “keyboard”.

Frequently asked questions

What is Auto Mode?
It automatically inserts relevant Amazon products into a post based on a keyword, so category and roundup pages stay populated and current without manual curation.
How many list designs are there?
Five: a grid of modern cards, a minimal grid, deal cards, ranked rows, and a comparison table, each mapped to a real box template.
Do automated products match my other boxes?
Yes. Auto Mode inherits your default box design, so the colours, style and buttons match your hand-placed boxes.
How do I place an automatic list?
With the [ap] shortcode for manual placement, or let Auto Mode populate the post based on its keyword.
Do the products stay current?
Yes. That is the point. The list refreshes so it doesn’t show discontinued or stale products the way a hand-typed list does.
Can I control how many products show?
Yes, via the column count and layout, so you can show a tight top-three or a fuller grid.
Is Auto Mode good for SEO?
Fresh, relevant, non-stale product lists support the helpful-content signals that “best of” pages live or die on, provided the surrounding article is genuinely useful.
Can I mix Auto Mode with manual boxes?
Yes, and you should. Use automation for breadth and hand-built boxes for your top picks in the same post.
