How frequently is data updated?
- We collect Amazon keyword and SERP (search engine result page) metrics on a daily basis, and overhaul and update all the data in our database every 3-4 weeks. It has taken us years to understand that this is the right amount of time to take a snapshot of the month-to-month changes in search behavior.
How do you get this data?
- The Amazon keyword and SERP data on MerchantWords comes from Amazon’s 11 marketplaces in the US, CA, MX, UK, DE, ES, FR, IT, IN, JP, and AU. We visit Amazon the same way that shoppers do, and type in every single combination of keywords available. MerchantWords does not use data from Google, Bing, or any other search engine to calculate our search estimates, just computational math and statistics.
- Before we release any data live to our customers, our engineers, data scientists, and product managers review the results. We double, triple, and quadruple check our work before anyone gets to use it for their business.
- First, we compare our ranking system to the data we get directly from Amazon. Then we spot check our estimates with PPC advertising data. This is done to ensure we’re not under-representing any searches. Our reviewers and data scientists then further compare the raw output against Amazon’s recent and seasonal trends. This allows us to tune and update our algorithms on an ongoing basis to adapt to Amazon’s shifting trends and its evolving suggestion engine. Billions of data points are processed and ranked in every cycle to distill the latest and most relevant information possible – including the hidden relationships – to expose what is in demand on each Amazon marketplace.
Does this data represent searches in the US or worldwide?
- MerchantWords currently publishes Amazon data from searches within the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Australia, India, and Japan.
- If you would like to see other countries as well, please contact us. We’d love to hear your suggestions!
How reliable and accurate is MerchantWords?
- We’ve been doing this since 2012 – longer than anyone else in the industry, and we’ve collected more keywords directly from the Amazon search bar than anyone else. That means we’ve had many years (and hundreds of billions of data points) to perfect our methods. And we continuously refine and improve our processes to produce the most accurate and knowledgeable results possible.
- If you spot anything that seems unusual, please contact us and let us know. We’ll look into the issue and make any necessary corrections.
How does MerchantWords work with and relate to Amazon Sponsored Ads / Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Campaigns?
- Most customers use MerchantWords’ keyword database to improve the profitability of Amazon Sponsored Ads / Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns. You can discover completely new keywords, see what keywords competitors are ranking for, and find trending keywords across countries all around the world.
- We wish it were that simple to have highly profitable ads, but Amazon is trickier than that. While Amazon has never released how their PPC algorithm works exactly, it’s safe to assume there are many factors to be considered, such as longevity, inventory, sales velocity, customer reviews, etc. MerchantWords can help give you a boost above the competition for keywords, but it’ll be up to you to handle the rest of the algorithm and budgeting for maximizing your ad effectiveness.
Can I use MerchantWords with Retail Arbitrage (RA) or Online Arbitrage (OA)?
- Of course! Keywords bring traffic to listings, regardless of how that item is sold. Naturally, when you are the only seller of an item, improving the visibility of your listing through better keywords is going to bring you more sales directly.
- But even in the case where you share the buy box with other sellers, adding better keywords to your listing of the shared item is still beneficial. Because of your improvements, the item will match more search terms, and sales will start to increase. If you don’t currently own the buy box, there are no immediate sales for you. However, the increased sales velocity means that the current buy box owner is going to sell out of their inventory all that much faster, and it’ll be your turn to own the buy box all that much sooner.
Can you use MerchantWords on other online marketplaces?
- Yes! Today, MerchantWords indexes keywords and SERP metrics for Amazon. Many of our customers also use our shopper search data to optimize their listings on Walmart, eBay, and Etsy, and to enhance the SEO of their blog and website content.
- MerchantWords can collect data from almost any other marketplace including Walmart, eBay, Etsy, and more. If you are a brand or agency interested in a custom data report send us an email with the subject: Custom Data Request and we’ll contact you with more information.

- While we do not offer a free trial, if you sign up for an account and are not fully satisfied with our service, you can cancel within 14 days of signing up for a new account and receive a full refund of your purchase. Upgrades to existing accounts do not qualify for a refund.
