Cloud Marketplaces Aren’t Just for Visibility; They’re for Revenue
AWS Marketplace is no longer just a place to list your product. It’s where top tech companies are generating leads, accelerating deal cycles, and unlocking enterprise accounts, when they use it strategically.
But here’s the kicker: most companies don’t.
There Are Two Kinds of Marketplace Vendors
The “Just Listed” Vendor
They go live on AWS Marketplace, then wait.
No optimization. No Co-Sell. No enablement.
6 months later: no leads, no movement.
Why?
Because Marketplace visibility doesn’t guarantee velocity.
The Activated Vendor
These teams turn their listing into a GTM machine.
They:
- Optimize titles and copy for Marketplace SEO
- Create architecture diagrams and case studies AWS sellers can actually use
- Enable private offers (CPPO) to speed up procurement
- Work with their Partner Manager on Co-Sell motions
- Align messaging with vertical use cases and buyer personas
The result?
More pipeline. Shorter sales cycles. AWS reps bringing you into enterprise deals.
Real Results from Real Companies
→ A SaaS vendor shortened enterprise sales cycles from 9 months to 3 after aligning their listing with Co-Sell and creating proof assets.
→ A GenAI startup landed Fortune 500 leads inbound by showing up in AWS Marketplace search for targeted keywords.
→ A cloud services firm won enterprise contracts without outbound emails—just by enabling CPPO and building seller-ready assets.
What This Means for You
Marketplace isn’t magic.
But when used right, it becomes a distribution channel inside AWS.
It bypasses procurement red tape.
It aligns your solution with AWS reps and GTM programs.
And it helps enterprise buyers find and trust your product, without a single cold email.
So ask yourself this:
Are you just listed on AWS Marketplace?
Or are you leveraging it to actually drive demand, enable sellers, and close enterprise pipeline?
