The Amazon Search Query Performance (SQP) Report is a goldmine if you know how to read between the lines.

It's not just for tracking keywords—when used right, it can help drive product strategy, content updates, ad planning, and growth decisions.

Here's how to use it like a pro 👇

🔍 What is the SQP Report?

It shows how customers are discovering your brand or products on Amazon—via keyword searches—along with metrics like:

Search volume
Clicks
Impressions
Cart Adds
Purchases
Conversion rates
All at keyword-level, and broken into brand vs. competitor share.

💡 1. Identify High-Intent Keywords You’re Missing
Look at queries with:
High search volume
High conversions
But low clicks or share for your brand
👉 These are the opportunities—you’re not showing up, but people are buying this. Time to create a new product, optimize listings, or run ads on them.

💬 2. Fix Listing & Content Gaps
If a keyword has:
High click share
But low conversion share
➡️ That means people click your listing… and drop off. Time to:
Improve product images
Optimize A+ content
Check reviews, pricing, offers

📈 3. Double Down on What’s Working
Find keywords with:
High click & conversion share 👉 Increase ad budgets here 👉 Use these keywords in your listings and brand store 👉 Cross-promote related products

🛒 4. Spot Seasonality & Trend Shifts
Use quarterly/monthly trends to:
Forecast demand spikes
Plan promotions or deals
Launch timely campaigns (eg. gifting, back-to-school)

🧠 5. Competitor Insights
Compare your click & conversion share with total search volume. ➡️ If you’re losing share on high-volume queries, you know who your real competition is. Check their pricing, images, deals.

🔁 6. Feed Learnings into Your Ad Strategy
Move from generic targeting to precision targeting.
Bid higher on converting terms
Exclude non-performers
Test new keywords seen in SQP but not yet in your campaigns

🧩 Pro Tip:
Combine SQP with your Brand Analytics, Search Term Report & Business Reports.

Layer them to get a 360° view:

Where you lose to competitors
