# ECOMMERCE Keyword Research for Beginners: The 5-Minute Primer

If you've never touched ecommerce keyword research before, here's the version without the jargon.

Product-focused keyword research is different from blog keyword research — buyer-intent modifiers ('buy', 'near me', 'free shipping') matter more than search volume alone, since a smaller but ready-to-buy audience often converts better.

You don't need to understand everything about it on day one. Start with just this: layer transactional modifiers ('buy', 'discount', 'free shipping') onto core product terms to surface phrases with real purchase intent.

The most common beginner mistake is skipping it entirely because it sounds technical. It usually isn't — ecommerce keyword research is one of those things that looks intimidating from the outside and takes ten minutes once you actually sit down with it.

Once this feels comfortable, backlink verification is a natural next thing to learn.

eCommerce Keyword Research Tool is the fastest way to see it in action on a real page.
