What else can Keyword Scout do?
🔹 It can help you analyze how keywords have performed in the past and see monthly and quarterly trend data. You can use this information to generate a full picture of a product’s seasonality and popularity over time, adjust your PPC campaigns, and optimize your listings accordingly.
💡 To see a keyword's historical search volume, click on the arrow (>) next to the keyword(s) to expand that graph:
🔹 Save your preferred keywords, create lists and keep them organized. You can add your keywords to one of your existing lists or create a new one if needed. You can also export the keywords as a CSV (spreadsheet) file or save them for quick reference.
💡 To add keywords to a list, select them by ticking the checkbox, click the ⊕ sign on the top to see your options. You can either add to an existing Keyword List or create a new one:
🔹 Estimate your Amazon PPC and HSA costs in advance. Amazon conversion rates (the percentage of people who view your product listing and purchase your product) tend to be between 10-15% for products priced under $40. So you can estimate the ACoS (advertising cost of sales) for your Amazon product by first multiplying the keyword's suggested PPC or HSA cost by 10 (for 10% conversion rate) or 6.67 (for 15% conversion rate) then dividing that number by your product's target sales price.
💡 For example, if the keyword bamboo stick has a suggested PPC bid of $0.75, at a 10% conversion rate and a sales price of $19.95, your ACoS should be roughly 37.50%. At a 15% conversion rate, it will be about 25%.
🔹 Discover how many shoppers are searching for products like yours every month. You can see just how many searches are being done with keywords related to your Amazon product/product idea. This gives you a huge advantage, because now, not only can you estimate how well products are selling on Amazon using the Extension, the Niche Hunter, or the Opportunity Finder, but you can also see how much room in the actual market there is for new sellers.
