Conduct keyword research with Keyword Scout and Rank Tracker

On top of helping you find high demand, low competition products to sell, Jungle Scout has many other features to help you run and grow your Amazon business. 

Keyword Scout

In order for customers to find your products on Amazon, you need to include relevant keywords throughout your listings. You also need to be sure that customers are actually searching for those specific keywords. Keyword Scout allows you to instantly discover relevant, high-volume keywords to include in your listing and to target in your PPC campaigns. 

Simply enter a broad keyword into Keyword Scout, set your advanced filters, and the tool does the work for you. You’ll see relevant results to help you understand what consumers are searching for on Amazon, and how often.  

You can take your search one step further: see the keywords your competitor’s ASINs are ranking for by copy-pasting their product ASINs into Keyword Scout. With this information, you can find the keywords your competitors are spending money on, discover which ones you could be ranking for, and learn to target them better.

Rank Tracker

Once you find relevant keywords for your product using Keyword Scout, add them to Rank Tracker to track their performance and ranking over time. This tool gives you powerful insights on which keywords to focus on and which ones to scrap. 

Similar to Keyword Scout, you can also do a reverse-ASIN search in Rank Tracker to discover keywords that influence your competitor’s sales the most. This tool presents the organic and sponsored rank of your competitor’s keywords in an easy-to-view graph, so you can quickly identify weak spots in  your competitor’s page rank. 

This is an important step in the product research process, so make sure you take advantage of this powerful tool to fully understand what you may be up against when launching your product.

Find a supplier with Supplier Database

After conducting your product and keyword research, your next step is to find a reliable supplier for your product. Instead of sifting through thousands of potential suppliers online, the Supplier Database makes it easy for Amazon sellers to find reputable suppliers across the globe. This one-of-a-kind tool also reveals exactly where your competitors source their products.

Once you are in the tool, you can organize supplier quotes, samples, purchase orders, and contact information.

Optimize your listing with Listing Builder with AI Assist

You have your product and the keywords you want to target, but how do you build an optimized listing? Having a strong SEO strategy for Amazon is very important — without it, your product may be difficult for customers to find. 

Enter Listing Builder with AI Assist, which helps you automatically craft a keyword-rich listing to improve your product rankings in Amazon search results. 

You can import the keyword lists you generated with Keyword Scout, create new lists, or use our advanced filters to discover easy-to-rank keywords. Once you have your keywords ready to go, Listing Builder with AI Assist will create Amazon-ToS-approved title, bullet points, and a description with a click of a button. .

As you write your title, bullet points, and description, the tool will show you which keywords have been used and which ones are left to add to your listing. As you work on your listing, you’ll get an instant “listing rating” that will let you know if you need to make improvements.

Boost your rankings with Review Automation

Building up your review count is one of the hardest things about selling on Amazon — especially on a newly launched product. Review Automation automatically sends review requests to all of your customers, so you can both save time on manual requests and increase your chances of earning more reviews — without having to think about it. The best part is, it’s all Amazon ToS-approved.

All you have to do is connect your Seller Central account to Jungle Scout, and turn the feature on. It’s a set-it-and-forget-it feature.

Analyze product reviews with Review Analysis

Manually analyzing competitor product reviews during your product and market research phase is a tedious task. Jungle Scout’s AI Assist for Review Analysis provides sellers with a comprehensive analysis of product reviews and ratings for any ASIN, along with providing insights to improve the product. 

This feature can save sellers hours of time by including common positive and negative comments about the product, suggestions for improving the product, and a competitive comparison with tips for competing against the product.

Track your performance with Sales Analytics (now with AI Assist)

Making sales on Amazon is great — but knowing that you’re turning a profit is better.  Between Amazon fees, advertising expenses, and product costs, it can be hard to keep track of all these numbers. Sales Analytics organizes all of your sales data so you can truly understand the financial health of your Amazon business. 

This tool will factor in everything that affects your business’s bottom line, from PPC expenses, to refunds, reimbursements, FBA fees, and more. You can also keep track of additional business expenses such as photography, copywriting, and package design. Based on this information, you can make adjustments to your price point, advertising spend, and other inputs to ensure you’re running a profitable business. 

Within the Sales Analytics feature, AI Assist analyzes Profit Overview data such as revenue, profit margins, cost of goods sold, fees, and more to help make sense of your business’s performance.

Stay in stock with Inventory Manager

Nobody wants to run out of inventory. Not only will you miss out on sales, staying out of stock for too long could ruin your product ranking. On the other hand, if you order too much inventory that doesn’t sell, you can get hit with Amazon’s long-term storage fees. 

Inventory Manager addresses these problems by accurately predicting how much inventory you will need to avoid stockouts and storage fees. Its demand forecasting technology also analyzes inventory metrics such as revenue, average daily sales, and average profit per unit to keep you on track.

Offer deals with Promotions

When you first launch a product on Amazon, it can be difficult to get the ball rolling with those first sales and reviews. With Promotions, you can jumpstart the process by creating targeted promotional campaigns on Amazon. While reviews aren’t guaranteed, early sales will help increase your Best Seller Rank early on in the life of your new product. 

Stay up to date with Alerts

Alerts keeps you informed about your Amazon business as well as your competitor’s. You can receive notifications for critical changes such as shifts in BSR or new sellers added to your listing, even if you’re not logged into Jungle Scout. That way, you can take action, fast. 

Set custom thresholds to track your products and your competitor’s, so you always know what is going on within your market. 

Get historical product sales data with Category Trends

Category Trends tracks the top 100 products of any category or subcategory on Amazon to help you identify which are the most lucrative. You can follow historical trend data to see how both market demand and specific products have performed over time.

Category Trends is integrated with all of our other tools, so you can quickly track product ideas or jump right into keyword research once you’ve identified an opportunity.

Get immediate answers to your questions with AI Assist Chat

Sometimes as a seller, you have questions. Whether about selling on Amazon or the specific tools you are using. With Jungle Scout’s AI Assist Chat, you can receive immediate, specific answers to your questions about selling on Amazon, growing your business, and more.
