MERCHANTWORDS CONNECTS THE DOTS BETWEEN BUYER KEYSTROKES AND YOUR PRODUCTS
Once upon a time, there were 3 kids in college and an overdue mortgage…
Hi, I'm George. I am a software engineer by trade and have been doing it for longer than I care to admit. Back in 2012, the universe blessed me with tremendous financial calamities that nearly put me and my family out on the street. With my back to the wall, I resolved to put my skills to the test to help get us out of this situation.
At about 3 AM on December 26, 2012, I launched MerchantWords – an Amazon keyword tool that helps online sellers figure out how buyers are searching for products. I nearly forgot to put on a logo, so I created one in a flash and slapped it on the site.
UNCOVER HIGHLY SPECIFIC KEYWORD PHRASES THAT HELP BUYERS FIND WHAT YOU ARE SELLING.
In the last several years we have refined our knowledge of the inner workings of buyer keywords.
We accumulated hundreds of millions of keywords in our international database. We know what search terms are the most popular, the least popular, and synonyms that can help drive sales.
WHAT DO YOU GET WITH MERCHANTWORDS?
A keyword research tool to help you find, choose and use the best keywords to sell more products.
THE LARGEST BUYER KEYWORD DATABASE
We started collecting Amazon search keywords in 2012. Since then, we expanded to capture other marketplaces to get a 360 degree view of buyer searches worldwide.
KEYWORDS FROM WORLDWIDE MARKETPLACES
The way searches are done in one country are not always the same in another, and when you choose the right search terms your products are seen by more buyers. That goes for languages, too. MerchantWords gives you instant access to a global audience with a database of search terms from buyers from North America, Europe, and soon Asia.
DATA SCIENCE – BACKED SEARCH VOLUME ESTIMATES
Collecting hundreds of millions of keywords isn't easy, but the real work comes in understanding what keywords to use and when to use them. Our algorithm uses artificial intelligence to do the heavy lifting so you don't have to worry about it.
UNLIMITED CSV DOWNLOADS OF YOUR SEARCHES
Let's be real: You use other tools. We get it. So we make it easy to integrate with whatever system you use.
FAST, FRIENDLY CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Selling online is hard enough, so let us be your optimization guides. Your success is our success.
