George Lawrence is the Founder of Merchant Words, a keyword resource that helps Amazon sellers understand search volumes on keywords and keyword phrases. In a nutshell, Merchant Words enables you to see what people are searching for and the search phrases they use, so that you can better understand what people are looking to buy. George was previously a computer programmer, writing software for companies, mobile phone apps, backend software, and websites. He is married with three children and started selling products on eBay for extra cash, before founding Merchant Words.
George joins us today to share how the Merchant Words keyword research tool was founded for online sellers with a keen focus on making it easier for buyers to find what they want. He reveals the pitfalls of keyword stuffing and highlights that you should make listing and keyword decisions based on what is best for your customer. George also shares how Merchant Words uses data from the dropdown search box suggestions and why this is a better solution to using data based on advertiser data.
