The Search Query Performance (SQP) Report

Moving beyond estimated keyword tools to master Amazon’s first-party Search Funnel data.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to navigate and interpret Amazon's most powerful analytics tool: the Search Query Performance (SQP) Report.

You will stop relying on estimated search volume from third-party tools such as Helium 10 or Jungle Scout and instead use Amazon’s real, first-party data to understand exactly how customers search for, click on, and purchase your products.

You will also learn how to identify where customers are being lost inside the search funnel.

The Search Query Performance (SQP) report is a Brand Analytics dashboard that provides a weekly or monthly breakdown of the top search terms that lead customers to your brand.

Unlike third-party tools, which rely on estimates, SQP provides real, first-party data directly from Amazon.

The Search Funnel Concept

  • Impressions (Visibility): Appearances in search
  • Clicks (Interest): Product page visits
  • Add-to-Carts (Intent): Buying signals
  • Purchases (Conversion): Final sales
Why this matters:
  • High impressions, low clicks → image, title, or price issue
  • High clicks, low purchases → listing or reviews issue

Brand Share shows how much of the total market activity your brand captures for a given search term.

  • Impression Share: % of total visibility
  • Click Share: % of total clicks
  • Purchase Share: % of total sales
  1. Market Ceiling: 40–50% share often means diminishing returns
  2. Opportunity Gap: Low share + high volume = growth potential

SQP reveals where you are spending money without results.

  • High impressions
  • Extremely low CTR

Diagnosis:

  • Pricing mismatch
  • Weak main image
  • Keyword irrelevance

Fix: Pause spend until the root cause is resolved.

Question 3

True or False: Third-party tools like Helium 10 provide exact, real-time search volume data from Amazon.

Strategic Keyword Implementation (SEO)

Learn exactly where and how to place keywords in your Amazon listing to maximize ranking power—without sacrificing readability or compliance.

Now that you know which keywords actually matter (from Lesson 1), this lesson teaches you where to place them for maximum ranking impact.

You will learn how Amazon assigns different ranking weight to different listing fields, and how to write listings that work for both the algorithm (“the robot”) and the customer (“the human”).

Not all keyword placements are equal. Amazon assigns different ranking weight depending on where the keyword appears.

Priority Order (Highest to Lowest Impact)

  1. Title: Highest ranking weight
  2. Backend Search Terms: Invisible but strongly indexed
  3. Bullet Points: Moderately indexed (great for long-tail)
  4. Description / A+ Content: Lowest direct indexing weight
Important: A+ Content text is not indexed by Amazon search, but it *is* indexed by Google—making it valuable for external traffic.
  • Length: 150–180 characters (mobile cuts at ~80)
  • Structure:
    Brand + Core Keyword + Key Benefit + Size/Color/Quantity + Secondary Keywords
  • Readability: Avoid keyword stuffing—write for humans first.
  • Canonical URL: The first 5 words determine the permanent product URL.
Rule: Always place your highest-volume keyword in the first 5 words of the title.
  1. Repeating the same keyword across all fields
  2. Using competitor brand names (policy violation)
  3. Subjective claims like “Best Seller” or “Top Rated”
  4. Wasting bytes on commas and punctuation
  5. Adding unnecessary plural variations
  • Limit: 249 bytes (not characters)
  • Formatting: Spaces only, no commas or symbols
  • Byte awareness: Emojis and accents cost more bytes
  • Risk: Exceeding 249 bytes may de-index the entire field

Bad Example:

“Mens Shoe Running Black 10”

Why it fails:

  • No benefits
  • Misses high-volume keywords
  • Wastes valuable title space

Good Example:

“ApexRun Men's Running Shoes – Breathable Mesh Athletic Sneakers for Gym & Jogging, Lightweight Sole, Black, Size 10”

Why it works:

  • Clear brand + core keyword
  • Secondary keywords included naturally
  • Benefits improve click-through rate
  • Title: First 5 words determine URL
  • Bullets: Benefits + long-tail phrases
  • Backend: Synonyms, misspellings, translations
  • A+ Alt Text: Describe image context with keywords
