# The ECOMMERCE Keyword Research Checklist: What to Verify Before You Publish

Run through this before you consider ecommerce keyword research actually done:

1. Layer transactional modifiers ('buy', 'discount', 'free shipping') onto core product terms to surface phrases with real purchase intent.
2. Don't ignore long-tail, lower-volume product terms — they're often less competitive and convert at a higher rate than the head term.
3. Mine your own site search and customer service queries for the exact phrases real shoppers use, which often differ from what a keyword tool suggests.
4. Group keywords by funnel stage (research, comparison, ready-to-buy) and match each to the right page type, not just the closest product page.
5. Double-check this after any site migration or major redesign, not just at launch.

None of these individually take long. The value is in doing all of them, every time, instead of remembering most of them most of the time.

Pair this with the meta title and description tags checklist if you're doing a fuller pre-launch pass.
