IO Scout Keyword Scout
Amazon is the largest online marketplace in the world. Each month more than 197 million people all over the world visit Amazon.com. And the number of people visiting Amazon is more than the population of Russia.
In order to find a product on Amazon, a buyer will use a search bar and will type in what he is looking for. Considering the number of products on Amazon, the buyer will definitely find something that will catch his eye.
What makes so many people visit Amazon and start looking for products? First off, the relevance of products that Amazon offers when the buyers are looking for something. The A9 algorithm, which is available on Amazon organizes search results in order to make sure that the products sales are high.
It means that the most relevant and high-converting products are the ones that will win the top spots in the search results, meaning that:
- A high-converting product is the one that converts from the search result into an order
- A relevant product is the product relevant to the search query.
It’s obvious that the product you sell is irrelevant in case you don’t have strong keywords associated with it.
How to conduct Amazon keyword research to make sure you go after the right keywords?
Look what Amazon search bar gives you as the keyword suggestion
When you start typing in something in the Amazon search, Amazon suggests the products that the Amazon users frequently search for.
The Amazon search bar is a free Amazon keyword tool, which can be used to get instant access to what people are actually searching for on Amazon.
After having performed some work on Amazon, you will have a rather extensive list of keywords that can be used with your product listings.
Review the products that are available in the “Frequently bought together” block
“Frequently bought together” block shows the products that complement the main product.
When you are targeting complements of your products, you are making your product visible to prospective buyers, who are not directly looking for your product, but who may be interested in in it.
Complements may be intuitive in some cases. For instance, your buyer is looking for a cell phone, so a silicone case would be a complement to the phone.
Still, some research is also necessary. It’s recommended to check the competitors’ products to see that the customers are buying together with their products. This will be helpful to get the understanding of the complementary products you want to target.
