Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get insights into my competitors data?

Sure, you can add a competitor to the Competitor Performance Dashboard which give similar insights to that seen in our Store Performance Dashboard the Competitor Dashboard provides insight on competitor listings.

Please note that the competitor dashboard will only show a subset of listings - the way this works is that we try to “find” as many listings as we can for the identified competitor (limited to 10k max) we will also try to do this by price range and category to maximise the number we get. We may not always collect the same data during our updates which means we might be able to gain further competitor insights from the different data.

This dashboard can give you insights into your competitor's strengths and weaknesses.
