Is my 'made without' list prominent and accurate?

As an e-commerce seller of food or dietary products, I'm concerned about how clearly and accurately I'm communicating my product's ingredients and potential allergens. I want to ensure that customers with specific dietary restrictions or health concerns can quickly and confidently understand what is NOT in my product. What are the best practices for creating a clear, comprehensive, and legally compliant 'made without' list that builds trust and helps customers make informed purchasing decisions?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Images drive 30-40% of the decision to purchase on mobile. Lead with lifestyle photography (product in use, desired outcome), not just product-on-white-background shots. Mobile shoppers make visual decisions in under 3 seconds.

Mobile Product Photography: What Drives Purchase Decisions

On mobile, images load before text is read. In fact, most mobile shoppers decide whether to keep scrolling or exit within the first 2-3 seconds - based entirely on the hero image. Product photography is not aesthetic; it's a conversion lever with measurable ROI.

Mobile Image Optimization Checklist

Technical

  • - WebP format (40% smaller than JPEG at same quality)
  • - 1200x1200px minimum for zoom capability
  • - Under 200KB per image (load speed)
  • - Square or portrait crop (fills mobile screen better)

Visual

  • - Lifestyle image as hero (aspirational)
  • - Show product from multiple angles
  • - Include scale reference (hand, room context)
  • - Use UGC photos in gallery for authenticity

Conversion insight: Visitors who swipe through 3+ product images have dramatically higher purchase intent than single-image viewers. Growth Suite's behavioral targeting can detect this high-engagement signal and trigger a personalized offer only for these high-intent visitors - protecting margin by not showing offers to low-engagement browsers while maximizing recovery of almost-customers.

Video and GIF on Mobile PDPs

  • - Short looping video (5-15 seconds, no sound required) in the second image position increases time-on-page by 45%
  • - Autoplay video must be muted by default to comply with iOS/Android browser policies
  • - GIFs are a lighter alternative to video for showing product motion or application steps
