      How to use the data

      This report will show a list of opportunity keywords that the best selling asins in the category rank for organically on page 1 or actively sponsor with ads. The Search Volume Percentile helps you sort the keywords by highest search volume.  The Relevancy Score is based on the organic rankings of the best selling items that are highly relevant for the keywords. The opportunity score helps you prioritize the keywords for your ad campaigns and optimizations as it is based on the search volume combined with the relevancy score (The more search volume and more relevant the keyword is, the higher the opportunity score the keyword has.). These keywords should be considered for your ad campaigns and listing optimizations. 

       

      Title Optimization with Highest Opportunity Keywords

      The keywords that have the highest opportunity scores should be considered for the inclusion in the product title if the keywords are relevant to the product you are optimizing.

      The Keywords in this list should be evaluated and assigned to the most relevant items you are advertising by creating single asin campaigns for the item and keywords that fit well together, to make sure your best product receives ad impressions for the highest opportunity keywords that are most relevant.
