How CommerceKind uses them

We start with Brand Analytics and Search Query Performance because it’s Amazon’s own data, then use a third-party tool to see competitor keywords. Every keyword gets tagged by relevance before it touches a listing or a campaign.

FAQ

What is the best free Amazon keyword tool?

Amazon Brand Analytics is free for brand-registered sellers and uses Amazon’s own data. The search bar autocomplete is also free and shows what shoppers type.

Are search volume numbers exact?

Third-party volumes are estimates. Use them to compare keywords, not as exact counts. Amazon’s Search Query Performance shows real impressions and clicks for your own products.

Which tool does CommerceKind use?

It depends on the account. We pick tools per client based on budget and goals, and Amazon’s own tools come first.
