The point of expanding suggestions is to get the list somewhere you can work with it. Amazon Suggestion Expander writes a plain CSV — no account, no cloud step, no upload.
The file
| Format | CSV, comma-separated, every field quoted |
| Encoding | UTF-8 with byte-order mark |
| Line endings | CRLF |
| File name | amzsugg-<seed>-<YYYYMMDD>.csv — e.g. amzsugg-yoga-mat-20260811.csv |
| Where it goes | Your browser’s normal download folder |
The byte-order mark is there on purpose. Without it, Excel opens the file and renders non-ASCII terms as mojibake — which matters the moment a seed pulls in an accented or non-Latin phrase. Every field is quoted rather than quoted-when-needed, because keywords containing commas (yoga mat, thick) are common and selective quoting is where CSV writers break.
The columns
Three columns, in this order:
| Column | Contents |
|---|---|
keyword | The search term itself, exactly as Amazon’s suggestion service returned it |
variant | Which expansion path produced it — amazon, before, after, other-for, other-and, other-with, or suffix-a … suffix-h |
source | amazon if this is one of the ten Amazon would have shown you anyway, expanded if it is not |
Keeping variant in the file is what makes the export auditable after the fact. Six months later you can still tell whether a term came from the connector paths or the letter rotation, and whether it was something you could have seen without the tool.
The source column is the one most people sort on first: filter to expanded and you have exactly the terms the search box was hiding.
Row counts to expect
A first-party probe on 2026-08-11 returned 114–117 deduplicated terms per seed. A live run against yoga mat produced 110 rows, 100 of them beyond Amazon’s native ten. Broad seeds return more than narrow ones; a seed that is already a long phrase will return fewer, because there is less room left to expand into.
Deduplication happens before export, so a term that three different paths all returned appears once.
Export limits
Exporting is the only metered action in the product.
- Free: 1 export per day.
- Pro: unlimited.
The daily counter resets at UTC midnight, not at your local midnight. If you are in Los Angeles, your free export refreshes at 5pm the previous afternoon.
Expanding keywords is never metered on either tier — you can expand as many seeds as you like and read them on screen for free, permanently. Details on the pricing page.
What this tool deliberately does not do
This matters more than the feature list, so it is stated plainly:
- No search volume estimates. Amazon does not publish them. Producing a number would mean building or licensing a keyword database and presenting an inference as a fact.
- No buyer intent or trend scores. Same reason.
- No Google CPC. It is a different platform’s auction and tells you very little about an Amazon listing.
- No mid-phrase insertion. Some tools in this category advertise expanding inside a multi-word phrase. We measured that path against Amazon’s endpoint on 2026-08-11: three attempts out of three returned HTTP 200 with zero results. It does not work, so it is not implemented and it is not advertised.
- No marketplaces other than amazon.com in this version.
What you get is the raw autocomplete surface, complete and exportable. What you do with it — which terms to bid on, which to put in a title — stays your call, informed by data you already have.
Working with the file
Once it is open in Excel or Google Sheets:
- Filter
source = expandedto see only what the search box was hiding. - Group by
variantto see which angle is productive for your category — for most seeds the letter rotation dominates. - Sort
keywordalphabetically and the long-tail clusters become obvious as blocks.
