Amazon US research

This tool returns keyword ideas and available search-volume estimates for Amazon in the United States.

Clear search estimates

Monthly search volume is an estimate, not a promise of visits or sales. An empty value means the estimate is unavailable, not that nobody searches.

A few useful answers.

Understand the tool before you make it part of your routine.

Ask us a question
What should I enter?

Use a short phrase that describes your subject or reader, such as gardening for beginners. If your results are too broad, try a more specific topic.

Are monthly searches exact?

No. They are estimates that help you compare phrases. Some keywords have no available estimate.

Can I use every suggested keyword for my book?

Choose only phrases that accurately describe your book and its readers. A high search estimate does not make an unrelated keyword a good choice.

How is this different from Reverse ASIN Search?

Keyword Research starts with a topic or phrase. Reverse ASIN Search starts with an existing book and explores keywords it ranks for.

Give your next book a better starting point.
