Search Term Report

Search Term Report

The Search Term Report is an Amazon advertising report that shows which exact customer search terms triggered your PPC ads, along with impressions, clicks, sales, and ACOS for each search term. It is one of the most valuable data sources for keyword optimization.

Why Search Term Report Matters for Amazon Sellers

The Search Term Report reveals actual customer search behavior — what shoppers type when they find and buy your product. This data is invaluable for listing optimization, keyword expansion, and negative keyword identification.

How RIDGE Analyzes Search Term Report

RIDGE reports analyze competitor keyword strategies through reverse ASIN methods, providing insights similar to what you would derive from Search Term Report analysis but applied to competitor listings.

Practical Example

A seller's Search Term Report reveals that 'resistance bands for physical therapy' converts at 18% ACOS while 'resistance bands cheap' converts at 45% ACOS. They add 'cheap' as a negative keyword and create a separate campaign for physical therapy keywords.
