Stage 1: Discover
Long-tail keywords
The strategy
We start by targeting long-tail, high-intent keywords. These are specific, lower-competition search terms that serious buyers use.
Why it works
Lower competition means you can actually rank
Higher conversion rates (specific searches = ready-to-buy customers)
Builds initial sales velocity and ranking history
Establishes your product as relevant to Amazon's algorithm
Example
Instead of targeting "yoga mat" (impossible for a new product), we target "extra thick yoga mat for bad knees non-slip" (winnable, high intent).
What's Included
Identify 50-100 long-tail keywords with high conversion potential
Optimize your listing to rank for these specific terms
Build initial sales momentum and positive reviews
Establish your product's relevance in Amazon's algorithm
