Where is this in the ecosystem?

The foundation of visibility on Amazon Handmade is the right keywords. Whatever the buyer searches, your listing must match that phrase; otherwise even the most beautiful product goes undiscovered.

Think in the buyer's language

Define your product not by its technical name but by the phrases a buyer would search. For example, intent-carrying phrases like 'personalized name ceramic mug gift' are more valuable than 'handmade ceramic mug'.

Keyword sources

Amazon search bar autocomplete, competitor listings, Etsy searches and keyword tools are the main sources. Long-tail phrases are valuable, low-competition opportunities.
