If you just started selling on Amazon, you may be looking for strategies on how to improve your product’s listing and ranking on search engine result pages.
You must have heard of SEO (search engine optimization) and the power it holds. SEO determines your products listing which is determined by keywords, long-tails, search volume and the competition.
Keywords describe your content; long-tails describe content as well but widen the search area. Volume and competition determine the strength and the relevance of the keywords or long-tails.
For successful marketing campaigns and higher sales, you must have excellent keyword research strategies and tools. Research tools guide you in selecting the best keywords in your niche. These tools include Google Keyword Planner, Moz’s Keyword Explorer, and Ubersuggest.

Recommending solutions through their content

Opportunity keywords are the keyword phrases with good search volume, a ranking of between 11 and 20, and a relatively low difficulty score.
