Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ecommerce keyword research.

What makes ecommerce keyword research different from regular SEO keyword research?

Ecommerce keyword research focuses specifically on commercial and transactional intent keywords that drive sales. We analyze product-specific terms, brand combinations, category keywords, and purchase-intent modifiers like 'buy,' 'best,' 'cheap,' and 'review.' We also consider the entire customer journey from awareness to purchase, including informational keywords that can drive traffic to buying guides and product comparisons. Additionally, we analyze competitor product catalogs, seasonal trends, and local search patterns specific to ecommerce businesses.

How do you identify high-converting keywords for ecommerce?

We identify high-converting keywords by analyzing search intent, commercial value indicators, and conversion data. We look for keywords with strong purchase intent like 'buy,' 'price,' 'deal,' 'review,' and 'best.' We analyze your existing conversion data to identify which keywords currently drive sales, then find similar opportunities. We also study competitor keywords that drive traffic to their product pages and analyze seasonal trends that indicate buying behavior. Long-tail keywords often convert better as they show specific intent, so we prioritize detailed, specific search phrases over broad category terms.

How do you handle keyword research for large product catalogs?

For large catalogs, we use automated tools and systematic approaches to scale keyword research efficiently. We start by categorizing products into logical groups and identifying keyword patterns for each category. We use product feed data to generate keyword variations automatically, then validate and prioritize them based on search volume and competition. We create keyword templates that can be applied across similar products and use bulk keyword research tools to process large lists efficiently. We also prioritize based on product margins, inventory levels, and business priorities to focus efforts on the most valuable opportunities first.

What tools do you use for ecommerce keyword research?

We use a combination of premium SEO tools including SEMrush, Ahrefs, Google Keyword Planner, and specialized ecommerce tools. We analyze Google Search Console data to understand current performance and opportunities. We use competitor analysis tools to identify keyword gaps and opportunities. For ecommerce-specific research, we analyze Amazon keyword data, Google Shopping insights, and product listing ad performance. We also use Google Trends for seasonal analysis and local keyword tools for location-based businesses. All data is compiled and analyzed to create comprehensive keyword strategies tailored to your specific ecommerce platform and business goals.

How often should ecommerce keyword research be updated?

Ecommerce keyword research should be reviewed and updated quarterly, with monthly monitoring of performance metrics. Seasonal businesses may need more frequent updates to capture trending products and seasonal search patterns. We recommend immediate updates when launching new products, entering new markets, or making significant changes to your product catalog. Competitive landscape changes, algorithm updates, and shifts in consumer behavior also trigger research updates. We provide ongoing monitoring to identify new keyword opportunities and track performance changes, ensuring your keyword strategy remains current and effective.

Can keyword research help with PPC campaigns as well as SEO?

Our ecommerce keyword research provides valuable insights for both SEO and PPC campaigns. The same high-intent keywords that work for organic search often perform well in Google Ads and Shopping campaigns. We identify negative keywords to improve PPC efficiency and find long-tail opportunities that may be cheaper to bid on. We analyze search intent to help structure ad groups and create relevant ad copy. The keyword research also informs product listing optimization for Google Shopping and helps identify opportunities for remarketing campaigns. This integrated approach ensures consistency across all search marketing efforts and maximizes overall ROI.
