A: Hello and thanks for your interest in Keywords.am — and for asking such thoughtful questions.

Let me break things down as clearly and transparently as possible:

In addition to listing optimization, our core focus is keywords — it’s in the name, after all 😉. We’re building a platform that helps sellers deeply understand keyword demand and buyer intent. That means you can validate product ideas before sourcing or launching, and grow a persistent, cross-marketplace keyword portfolio that lives beyond any single channel like Amazon. When you better understand your keywords and the customer search intent, you can optimize your product leading you to better keyword rankings, optimized search relevance, higher conversion rates and more sales!

As for future features:

We’re committed to building a powerful, evolving platform — but with sustainability and fairness at the core. I can't guarantee which specific future features will be included for lifetime users. Some features involve ongoing infrastructure costs (AI processing, live data sync, cross-channel integrations) which simply aren’t viable for unlimited lifetime access. That said, we always honor what was promised at the time of your purchase, and we’ve maintained that standard since launching in 2018.

We're committed to being generous where we can — for example, all lifetime members now get access to our newly launched AI optimization engine, even though it wasn't part of the original offer. Despite the ongoing cost, we’ve included a monthly allocation of AI assists as a value-add. On the other hand, some features like our new direct API integration for Amazon Brand Registry users are excluded, since they fall outside the scope of the original LTD plans and are designed specifically for trademarked brands with different usage needs.

Now, to give a bit of perspective on platform design:

As of it stands today, Publisher Rocket is a downloadable desktop tool. It runs locally, meaning it’s static, limited to your device.

Keywords.am, on the other hand, is a modern web-based platform, built on the latest tech stack, fully cloud-hosted, and constantly updated. That means real-time keyword data, seamless AI-powered suggestions, multi-channel integration, and no software installations or manual updates.

In short: you’re not buying a one-time tool — you’re plugging into a growing ecosystem designed for sellers who want to scale.

Thank you for your thoughtful questions and apologies for the long answer, but I hope it brings some clarity and gives you a better sense of where we're coming from. We genuinely appreciate your interest, and want to affirm that we’re here for the long haul — committed to building a sustainable, evolving platform that delivers real value while honoring the trust our early users have placed in us.
