Competitors Table Overview

The Competitors Table will display key metrics for each of your selected competitors. It’s a great way to review updates to your competitors at a glance. The cells are color-coded to highlight recent changes in metrics. Hovering over a color-highlighted cell within the table will prompt a tooltip with an explanation of the change that occurred.

Note: The data from this table is pulled from a variety of Helium 10 tools. Some tools' data will refresh at different intervals than others.

For the Insights column, sometimes additional insights are hidden from view. Click on the + to expand the insights for that product.

Selecting products in the table will cause the following options to appear:

• Delete Competitors: You can delete selected competitors.
• Run Cerebro: You can run the selected competitors in Cerebro.
• Compare in Listing Analyzer: You can compare selected competitors in Listing Analyzer.
• Run Black Box: You can run selected competitors in Black Box.

Table Customization

To customize your table, click on the gear icon  labeled Customize at the top-right of the table. From this menu, you can choose the product image size you prefer, and you can select/deselect which columns you would like displayed.

View Insights History

Hovering over metrics in the competitor’s table will often display additional data. If you select View Insights History, the table will expand to display the Insights History for this product. You can filter the event type to display the metrics you are interested in. The table will show the event type, the old value, and the new value.

My Linked Products

My Linked Products is a new column that also has a filter. My Linked Products allows you to view your Parent ASINs. You can use the filter to select which competitor Parent ASIN you want to see. This is a great way to view competitors for specific products.
