    Track and evaluate impressions, clicks, and conversions in one place. Identify top-performing products and spot areas needing improvement.

  • Competitor & Brand Insights
    Compare your metrics against competitors, assess market share, and monitor brand visibility. Discover opportunities to strengthen your position in each category.

    Automatically categorize products based on performance—use labels like Bestseller, Hidden Gems, or Zoombie to focus spend where it matters and scale back on underperformers.

  • Organic (Free) Listings Performance
