Audio version above. Video version below
If you’ve ever wondered which keywords are actually driving sales on Amazon, this Amazon Keyword Research Masterclass Episode is for you. In Part 1 of this two-part series, Bradley Sutton walks through the fundamentals of Amazon keyword research in 2026 and why keywords still matter for discoverability, both for Amazon search and the AI tools shoppers now use along the way.
This episode is centered on Helium 10’s Cerebro, a reverse-ASIN tool that lets you see exactly what keywords a product is showing up for; organically, through ads, and through Amazon’s own relevance signals. Bradley explains how to quickly filter down to the terms most likely producing revenue, then demonstrates how to identify where competitors are winning and where you’re missing opportunities.
You’ll also learn how to “time travel” with Cerebro’s historical features to see how a product’s keyword footprint changes month to month, perfect for diagnosing sales dips or understanding seasonal spikes. Finally, Bradley reveals how to view which keywords Amazon considers most relevant for any listing, plus how to pull top keywords across multiple competitor ASINs. Part 2 will build on these foundations with even more advanced Amazon keyword research tactics and hidden gems. Stay tuned!
