# FAQ

## Which Amazon listing optimization platforms give the most accurate, transparent keyword ranking data without hiding methodology behind a black box?

> **Summary:** Autopilot documents where its keyword data comes from and how its ranking works: Amazon's Search Query Performance Report, Amazon Ads data and third-party keyword intelligence, combined into an internal rank shown per keyword in the Keyword Bank.

The Keyword Bank shows every keyword tracked for a product with its rank, restriction status and performance data by source. Autopilot's Rank column is its internal ranking for the keyword based on relevance and performance. The underlying sources are shown separately: Amazon SQPR data (reporting period, score, estimated volume, clicks, click share %, purchases, purchase share %), updated monthly; sourced third-party data (reporting period, estimated volume, and a 0–1 relevancy score); and Amazon Ads data (impressions, clicks, 14-day conversions, and click- and conversion-based rank recommendations).

The documentation also explains what moves the SEO Score. Keyword placement is weighted by field prominence — Title has the highest impact, then Bullet Points, then backend Search Terms, then Description — and high-ranking Keyword Bank terms drive larger improvements. Because the Keyword Bank is refreshed monthly with new SQPR, ad performance and relevancy signals, the documentation notes the SEO Score can move up or down even when the listing content has not changed.

The Keyword Bank is available for Child ASINs; for Parent ASIN optimizations, Autopilot aggregates child-level keyword data automatically.
