Competitor traffic and SEO analysis
Research how competitor sites attract organic and paid traffic. Understand which keywords they rank for, what their content strategy looks like, and where they have stronger visibility than your store.
Allbirds estimated 1.2M monthly organic visits. Top keywords: "wool sneakers" (28K/mo), "sustainable shoes" (22K/mo), "tree runners" (18K/mo). Strong blog content strategy — 80+ SEO articles on sustainability topics. Paid search active on branded and material-based terms. Your brand is absent on all their top non-branded keywords.
Organic keyword opportunity research
Find high-opportunity keywords to drive organic traffic to your store. Identify low-competition, buyer-intent terms across your product categories where you can realistically rank on page one.
Found 47 qualifying keywords. Best opportunities: "high waist squat proof leggings" (8.4K/mo, low comp), "buttery soft yoga pants" (6.2K/mo, low), "seamless workout set" (28K/mo, medium). All have strong purchase intent signals. 3-month SEO content plan mapped to these terms.
Site performance and UX auditing
Audit the store for SEO issues, page speed problems, and UX friction points that hurt conversion. Identify what is preventing visitors from completing purchases and prioritize fixes by revenue impact.
Checkout page score: SEO fine (no issues). Performance: mobile LCP 4.2s (poor), CLS 0.18 (needs improvement). 2 third-party scripts blocking render. These delays likely contribute to abandonment on mobile — 62% of your traffic. Fixing LCP alone could recover 8–12% of mobile checkouts.
Consumer trend and demand research
Research what consumers are buying, searching for, and talking about in your category. Stay ahead of demand shifts so you can adjust inventory, marketing, and merchandising before trends peak.
Growing: compact home gym equipment (resistance bands, adjustable dumbbells, foldable benches) +34% YoY demand. Recovery tools (massage guns, foam rollers) stable. Declining: bulky cardio machines (treadmills, bikes) -18% as gym memberships recover. TikTok trending: "functional fitness" and "calisthenics" content surging.
Ad creative and competitor ad research
Research what ad creatives competitors are running on Facebook, Google, and other platforms. Understand what messaging and formats are performing in your category before building your own campaigns.
Found 47 active ads across 3 competitors. Dominant format: video (65%). Top messages: "free returns" (all 3 use this), "sustainable materials" (2 of 3), "worn by [athlete name]" (1 of 3). All running carousel ads for product collections. None running UGC-style content — opportunity to differentiate.
Performance reporting and visualization
Build executive-ready charts and dashboards from your analytics data. Present key metrics in visual formats that make trends and decisions clear to non-technical stakeholders.
Generated multi-line chart with 3 series over 6 months. Key callout: CR% and AOV diverged in October (CR fell 0.4% while AOV rose 12%) — suggests traffic quality change or product mix shift worth investigating. RPS held steady. Chart labeled and ready for deck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the competitor research tool estimate traffic for any e-commerce store?
Competitor Research provides traffic estimates derived from crawl data and public signals. Estimates are most accurate for mid-to-large sites with meaningful organic presence. For smaller niche stores with limited public data, estimates may be directional.
How does keyword research help with paid search, not just SEO?
Keyword Research surfaces search volume, competition, and CPC data that is directly applicable to Google Shopping and paid search. Buyer-intent keywords with moderate volume and lower CPC are often the best starting points for paid search campaigns in e-commerce.
What is the difference between the SEO audit and page speed audit?
SEO Analysis focuses on content quality, meta tags, structured data, and crawlability issues that affect search rankings. Page Speed Test focuses on Core Web Vitals and performance metrics that affect both user experience and Google's page experience ranking signals. Running both gives a complete picture.
Can these tools integrate with Google Analytics or Shopify data?
These tools work with publicly accessible data (crawlable pages, search APIs, marketplaces). They complement your internal analytics by providing the external context — competitor data, keyword trends, and market research — that Google Analytics and Shopify cannot show you.
How can I track social commerce trends alongside traditional e-commerce metrics?
What's Trending on Social shows real-time trending products and content on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Combining this with keyword research and competitor research gives a complete view of where demand is forming — both on search engines and social platforms.
