How to use the Inputs?

Select Your Search Type:

Customize your analysis by selecting the type of search that suits your needs:

  • Refined Keyword: Focuses on keywords within product titles on Amazon. Ideal for analyzing the impact of specific words or phrases in titles on product visibility and customer appeal.

  • Broad Keyword: Expands the search to include a range of related keywords, not just exact matches. This helps in understanding broader market trends and customer preferences around a general topic or product category.

  • ASIN: Targets specific products on Amazon using their unique Amazon Standard Identification Numbers (ASINs). This search type provides detailed insights into the performance, rankings, and market dynamics of particular products. Adding Seed Keywords further enhances this analysis by showing how these products rank for certain keywords.

Defining the Search:

  1. Keywords: Start by entering a list of relevant keywords related to your niche. These keywords serve as the foundation for the analysis and will help identify opportunities for your product listings.

  2. ASINs (Optional): If you have specific ASINs that you want to include in the analysis, you can provide them. This helps in conducting a more targeted assessment.

  3. Negative Keywords (Optional): If there are keywords you want to exclude from the analysis, list them here. This helps refine the results and avoid irrelevant data. Negative keywords operate on a "phrase match" basis, allowing you to specify phrases or terms that you want to be completely excluded from the analysis.

  4. Marketplace: Specify the Amazon marketplace you're interested in, as different regions may have varying customer behaviors and trends.

  5. Start and End Dates: Define the time frame for the analysis by specifying the start and end dates. This allows you to focus on a specific period to gather relevant data.
