# ECOMMERCE Keyword Research FAQ: Questions People Actually Ask

**What is ecommerce keyword research, in plain terms?**
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.

**How often should this be checked?**
Regularly, not just once. Using generic informational keyword research techniques on product pages, which need buyer-intent language, not blog-style phrasing. Set a recurring reminder rather than trusting memory.

**What's the most common mistake here?**
Targeting only high-volume head terms that are dominated by marketplaces like Amazon, ignoring achievable long-tail alternatives.

**Does this actually affect rankings, or is it just best practice?**
It's rarely a single ranking factor on its own, but it affects whether search engines and users can do what you actually need them to do — which shows up in rankings indirectly, often more than any one direct factor would.

**What's the fastest way to check this on an existing site?**
