Why are Amazon search trends important for bloggers?

As a blogger or website owner, if you know the keywords that Amazon shoppers primarily search for, you can;

How to find Amazon keywords?

If you are an affiliate or content creator looking for profitable products to sell on Amazon, Use Semrush.

Semrush is one of the best tools for finding the keywords people are searching for, as it offers a massive database of 26 billion keywords.

Here's a quick tutorial on how to find Amazon keywords using Semrush.

Step 1: Start with a seed keyword

Enter a starting keyword into Semrush's Keyword Magic tool.

The seed keyword should be broad. For example, if you are interested in headphone products, you can enter "wireless headphones" as a starting keyword.

Also choose a country that is relevant to your target audience (for example, the United States).

Keyword seed

Step 2: Find relevant keywords

Once you enter a starting keyword and click search, Semrush will instantly display a list of "Broad Match" keywords containing your starting keyword.

Broad match keywords

As shown above, the tool suggests more than 75,000 keywords.

Step 3: Filter and analyze the keywords

Now it's time to filter the list to find the most relevant and profitable keywords for your Amazon ads.

Semrush offers a wide range of filters, such as search volume, keyword difficulty (KD), word count, etc., to refine the results.

Here are some key indicators you should be aware of;

  • Search volume shows you how often people search for that keyword.
  • Keyword difficulty (KD) indicates how difficult it is to rank for that keyword.
  • Intent indicates what users are looking for when they type that keyword (e.g., informational or transactional).

Now, narrow the list down to high-volume, low-competition keywords.

Configure the volume filter to show terms that get between 1,001 and 10,000 searches per month, so you only see keywords that people search for quite often.

Additionally, sort the results by KD % (Keyword Difficulty) so you can focus on keywords with a low difficulty score (e.g., below 20–30%).

Keyword difficulty

These are the best keywords to target because they have sufficient demand in searches, but they are not too competitive.

Step 4: Check keyword trends

Click on a keyword to open its keyword preview. This page displays seasonal trends, related terms, and SERP (search engine results page) data.

For example, "best budget wireless headphones" might attract more searches during Black Friday or the holiday shopping season.

Keyword overview

Once you have identified your best performing keywords, export them by clicking the Export button.
