Frequently asked questions

Amazon SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing product listings on Amazon to improve their visibility and rankings in search results. Just like traditional SEO, Amazon SEO involves optimizing various elements such as product titles, descriptions, keywords, and images to enhance discoverability and attract more potential customers to your products.

Absolutely! Amazon SEO is crucial for increasing your product's visibility and driving organic traffic to your listings. With millions of products available on Amazon, optimizing your listings helps ensure your products stand out amidst the competition. By implementing effective strategies, you can improve your chances of appearing higher in search results and ultimately boost sales.

Ranking higher on Amazon involves implementing several key strategies to optimize your product listings:
  • Keyword Optimization: Identify relevant keywords for your products and incorporate these keywords naturally into your content to improve visibility.
  • High-Quality Images: Showcase your product to attract customers and promote a positive shopping experience.
  • Compelling Product Descriptions: Highlight your product's unique selling points to communicate key benefits and features to potential buyers.
  • Optimized Product Titles: Include relevant keywords to significantly impact your search ranking and click-through rates.
  • Positive Customer Reviews: A good quantity of positive reviews is essential for ranking higher on Amazon.

We have several tools available to help you conduct keyword research for Amazon, such as our keyword discovery tool, our Amazon listing analyzer, and our completely free Chrome extension. These tools provide insights into popular search terms, search volume, and competition levels, helping you identify relevant keywords to optimize your listings.

It's a good practice to regularly monitor and update your Amazon product listings to ensure they remain optimized for search. This includes refining keywords, updating product images, and revising product descriptions based on customer feedback and market trends. Regular updates can help improve your search ranking and maintain competitiveness in the marketplace.

Unlocking the Power of the Amazon Search Query Performance Report: A Guide for Sellers

Success on Amazon doesn’t just depend on listing a great product—it hinges on understanding how customers discover and engage with it. As competition intensifies and consumer behaviors shift, Amazon sellers must evolve beyond basic listing optimization. That’s where the Amazon Search Query Performance Report (SQPR) comes in. It’s a goldmine of data that offers granular insights into how shoppers find, view, and interact with your products via search.

At Trellis, we help brands harness automation and data science to optimize their performance on Amazon and beyond. In this post, we’ll break down the value of the SQPR, show how it complements your broader Amazon strategy, and give you actionable ways to put this report to work to boost visibility, conversions, and profitability.

What Is the Amazon Search Query Performance Report?

The Amazon Search Query Performance Report is a detailed dataset made available through Amazon Brand Analytics (ABA) to brand-registered sellers. It provides keyword-level metrics that show how customers interact with search terms related to your brand or ASINs.

This includes:

  • Impressions: How many times your product appeared in search results.
  • Clicks: The number of times your product was clicked after a search.
  • Cart Adds: How often the product was added to a customer’s cart.
  • Purchases: The number of purchases directly attributable to search behavior.

The data is also segmented by:

  • Brand: All your branded products
  • ASIN: Individual product-level
  • Time: Both weekly and monthly
  • Search funnel stage: Impressions, clicks, cart adds, purchases

This report is especially valuable because it reveals not just performance at the ad or product level, but the entire path to purchase customers take along their shopping journey.

Why Is the Search Query Performance Report Valuable for Amazon Sellers?

1. Visibility into Buyer Intent

SQPR uncovers which search queries lead customers to your listings. This gives you a clear view of how shoppers think and what terms they use, often revealing opportunities that keyword tools might miss. It also distinguishes between high-impression, low-conversion queries and ones that deliver real purchase intent.

2. Full-Funnel Performance Benchmarks

With SQPR, you can diagnose where your product may be losing shoppers in the search funnel. Are you getting plenty of impressions but few clicks? That could indicate poor main images or unoptimized titles. Are shoppers clicking but not buying? Pricing, reviews, or product detail page content may need work.

3. Competitor Benchmarking

Amazon provides share-of-voice metrics, showing how your brand or ASIN performs relative to the category. You can see your share of impressions or clicks for a particular search term, helping identify gaps where competitors are winning attention and conversions.

4. Strategic PPC Optimization

SQPR can be used to inform your Amazon Advertising strategy, including:

  • Harvesting high-performing organic keywords to incorporate into PPC campaigns
  • Reducing spend on low-performing keywords
  • Identifying keywords where your organic rank is strong and paid spend could be reduced

5. Data-Driven Listing Optimization

By understanding which search queries convert well, you can optimize titles, bullets, back-end keywords, and A+ Content for those specific terms, leading to increased visibility and more sales.

How to Access the Search Query Performance Report

To access the SQPR, you must be:

  • Brand-registered on Amazon Brand Registry.
  • Operating within Seller Central (US, Canada, or select international marketplaces).
  • Navigating to Brand Analytics > Search Query Performance.

You can export data at both the brand and ASIN levels for custom date ranges. Data is updated weekly, with historical comparisons available.

Best Practices for Using the Amazon SQPR

1. Identify Top and Emerging Search Terms

Start by analyzing the top search terms by impressions and purchases. These are your bread-and-butter keywords that drive the most traffic and revenue. Don’t stop there! Also look at rising search terms with increasing trends over time. These may reflect seasonal opportunities, new consumer behaviors, or underserved niches.

Trellis Tip: Combine SQPR data with customizable, rules-based keyword harvesting to find high-opportunity search terms that your competitors may be ignoring.

2. Map Conversion Funnel Drop-Offs

Use the report’s funnel metrics to evaluate where you're losing shoppers:

  • High Impressions/Low Clicks → Thumbnail, title, or price misalignment.
  • High Clicks/ Low Add-to-cart → Detail page not persuasive or competitive.
  • High Add-to-cart/Low purchase → Price resistance or checkout friction.

By identifying bottlenecks, you can take precise action, like improving product images, adding comparison charts, adjusting pricing, or increasing social proof with enhanced reviews.

3. Enhance Organic SEO Strategy

The SQPR helps you understand which keywords actually drive conversions, not just traffic, which can sometimes be more of a vanity metric. Use these keywords in:

  • Product Titles
  • Bullet Points
  • A+ Content
  • Backend Search Terms

Amazon’s algorithm rewards conversion-optimized listings. It’s all about making money, so Amazon won’t show a listing that is unlikely to drive sales. Feeding it the right signals helps maintain or improve organic rank.

4. Refine Your Advertising Strategy

By comparing SQPR keyword data with your Amazon PPC reports, you can:

  • Reduce spend on high-cost/low-conversion keywords
  • Shift more budget to high-purchase, high-CTR terms
  • Find organic winners where ad coverage isn’t needed, improving ACoS
  • Develop campaigns that bridge the gap between organic and paid performance

Tools like Trellis can automate this optimization, ensuring your bids align with actual buyer behavior.

5. Track Share of Voice Trends

The report also shows how your brand or product’s share of total search performance changes over time. Use this data to:

  • Identify rising competitors
  • Monitor the impact of a new product launch
  • Measure results from seasonal campaigns
  • Understand how your performance stacks up during major events (like Prime Day or Q4)

6. Improve Product Development and Portfolio Planning

When you analyze the top queries that are underperforming or underserved, you may discover gaps in your catalog.

  • If many shoppers are searching for “organic travel-size shampoo” and you only sell full-size bottles, that’s a product opportunity.
  • If a competitor dominates a search term with a feature you lack (e.g., “gluten-free,” “BPA-free”), it’s time to consider product variation.

Final Thoughts
