# eCommerce Keyword Research Tool: Common Mistakes and Best Practices

Most problems with eCommerce Keyword Research Tool aren't caused by not knowing what to do — they're caused by small, easy-to-miss mistakes that compound quietly over time. Here are the ones that come up most often.

Mistake 1: Targeting only high-volume head terms that are dominated by marketplaces like Amazon, ignoring achievable long-tail alternatives.

Mistake 2: Using generic informational keyword research techniques on product pages, which need buyer-intent language, not blog-style phrasing.

Mistake 3: Never revisiting keyword targeting after a product line changes, leaving pages optimized for products you no longer sell.

The fix for most of these isn't more effort, it's a regular check. A few habits that prevent them from creeping back in:
- 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.
- Group keywords by funnel stage (research, comparison, ready-to-buy) and match each to the right page type, not just the closest product page.

Worth reading alongside this: our guide to broken image links, which covers the adjacent side of the same part of a technical SEO audit.
