Keyword Research
Use web_search to gather keyword data.
Step 1: Search for seed keywords
web_search: "[product] keywords"

Step 2: Research long-tail opportunities
web_search: "[product] for [use case]"
web_search: "best [product] for [specific need]"
Step 3: Analyze competition
web_search: "[keyword] amazon sponsored"
| Competition | Indicators | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Low | <10K results, few ads | Bid aggressively |
| Medium | 10K-50K results | Balanced bid |
| High | 50K+ results | Long-tail focus |
Bid Ranges by Platform:

Step 3: Extract ad angles

Step 4: Identify gaps

Step 2: Build personas

- Motivations (why they buy)
- Pain points (what they hate)
- Language (exact phrases for ad copy)
Step 3: Extract ad copy angles
- From positive reviews → benefits to highlight
