Why Is It Important to Track Amazon Keyword Ranking?
Tracking can also help you easily see sudden spikes or progressive improvement in a specific keyword position at a precise point in time, allowing you to pinpoint what actions may have led to such a change. It is also a great reflection of the number of sales you accumulate from each keyword. Notice an improvement in a keyword’s position? It might be that you are getting more sales from search queries with that keyword.
You then get to compare those findings to your own products and better understand from where they drive sales and how their SEO efforts, pricing positioning, PPC strategy, and other advertising techniques might explain the gap between their performance and yours. Such a competition-monitoring approach is very helpful for sellers with a specific niche and for those considering launching new products to obtain a better idea of the competition you would encounter beforehand.
