The First Ever Audible ACX Keyword Research Tool - Book Beam Tutorial

About this video

The creator gives a tutorial on what he calls the first ever Audible keyword research tool, a new Book Beam feature. Inside Book Beam’s keyword research section you can flip from Amazon to Audible, enter a generic one-word phrase such as meditation, and get keyword variations, then pull data for the phrases that look interesting, while skipping book titles, trademarked terms and author-like phrases people would not actually search. He emphasizes that, unlike other tools, every number comes directly from Audible.com rather than Amazon.com, which he says makes it more accurate for Audible sales. The metrics shown are monthly search volume, number of competing books, page-one average rating/reviews, average price, title density (how many page-one books use the exact keyword in the title, with more making ranking harder), page-one average audiobook length and average age. As a rule of thumb he wants around 100 competing books or fewer and at least a couple hundred searches. He calls ‘sleep meditation’ too vague and competitive with 3,802 searches but 1,000 books, while ‘sleep meditation for women’ looks promising with 294 searches, only 59 competing books and an average of 56 reviews, especially as many page-one results are not fully relevant. He also notes ‘guided meditation for happiness’ with 269 searches and 82 books, versus a lower-volume variant with 112 searches and 22 books.

Key takeaways

  • Book Beam’s new tool flips keyword research from Amazon to Audible, and the creator stresses its data comes directly from Audible.com
  • Start with a generic one-word seed phrase, generate variations, and skip titles, trademarks and phrases people would not type as searches
  • Judge keywords by search volume, competitor count, page-one average reviews, price, title density, average length and average age
  • His rule of thumb is around 100 or fewer competing books and at least a couple hundred monthly searches
  • Example he favors: ‘sleep meditation for women’ with 294 searches and 59 competitors, over ‘sleep meditation’ with 3,802 searches but 1,000 competitors
