                Amazon keyword research is no longer about chasing high search volume keywords. In 2025, successful sellers focus on buyer intent, relevance, and competition balance to drive real sales — not just traffic.
            </p>

            <p class="mb-6 leading-loose text-blueGray-400">
                In this guide, you’ll learn a practical, data-driven framework to find Amazon keywords that actually convert, rank faster, and support long-term growth.

                        In 2025, Amazon rewards relevance and conversions — not keyword stuffing or vanity metrics.

            <!-- STEP 1 -->
            <p class="mb-6 leading-loose text-blueGray-400">
                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 1: Understand Buyer Intent
                </strong>
                Not all keywords are equal. Buyer-intent keywords include specific attributes such as size, material, use case, or audience. These keywords convert better and face less competition than generic terms.
            </p>

            <!-- STEP 2 -->
            <p class="mb-6 leading-loose text-blueGray-400">
                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 2: Start With a Strong Seed Keyword
                </strong>
                Every keyword research process begins with a core seed keyword that clearly represents your product. This keyword becomes the base for discovering long-tail, buyer-focused variations.
            </p>

        </div>
        <div class="max-w-2xl mx-auto">

            <!-- STEP 3 -->
            <p class="leading-loose text-blueGray-400 mb-6">
                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 3: Analyze Keyword Competition Properly
                </strong>
                Look beyond search volume. Evaluate how many listings compete for the keyword, review counts on page one, listing quality, and whether large brands dominate the results.
            </p>

            <!-- STEP 4 -->
            <p class="leading-loose text-blueGray-400 mb-6">
                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 4: Validate Demand With Trend Data
                </strong>
                Keywords with declining interest often lead to failed launches. Use trend analysis to confirm whether demand is growing, stable, seasonal, or fading.
            </p>

            <!-- STEP 5 -->
            <p class="leading-loose text-blueGray-400 mb-6">
                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 5: Structure Keywords Inside Your Listing
                </strong>
                Place primary keywords in the title, secondary keywords in bullet points, and supporting variations in the description and backend search terms. Avoid repetition and keyword stuffing.
            </p>

            <!-- STEP 6 -->
            <p class="leading-loose text-blueGray-400 mb-10">
                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 6: Track and Optimize Over Time
                </strong>
                Keyword research doesn’t end after launch. Monitor rankings, conversion rates, and competitor movements to continuously optimize your listing.
