Keyword Scout pulls millions of performance keyword data points to show ad tracking, search volume trends, and PPC costs. To refine your results, you can use a series of basic and advanced filters. You can even save your filter settings for future searches.
The number and type of available filters depend on the type of search you run. Remember that you can search for a keyword (short or long-tailed), a single ASIN, or up to ten ASINs at once.
Customizing your Results
Once you've run a search, you can choose which data points you'd like to see to customize the Filter and/or Column options and narrow down your search results:
Filters: Enter a minimum and/or maximum value and click Apply.
Columns: Enable/disable the columns you want to see in your results.
Note that, if you searched for an ASIN or ASINs, you can also use the "Include all variants" slider to customize the keywords you want to see included in your results. You can move the slider to the on position to activate (green) or deactivate (grey) this option. Enabling this feature will include keywords from all child ASINS. If you prefer not to activate this option, your results will only include keywords for the specific product you use to run the reverse ASIN search.
