Understanding your daily competitor reports
6 questions
Stakeout runs a full competitor price check once per day at the time you configure in Settings. This gives you a consistent daily snapshot of the competitive landscape.
Yes, If you have your UPC/EAN Number stored in the barcode field we will also search Google for that number.
Stakeout searches two major sources:
- Amazon — using the marketplace you selected (e.g. amazon.com, amazon.co.uk)
- Google Shopping — using the country you selected
Also if you have a GTIN / UPC / EAN / ISBN number stored in the barcode field we will also search Google for that barcode number.
Sponsored listings and results without a clear price are automatically filtered out, so you only see genuine competitor offers.
Each report includes a summary for every monitored product showing:
- Your current price
- The best price found on Amazon
- The best price found on Google Shopping
- The best price found when searching Google for your UPC / EAN / ISBN (If you have this number stored in the barcode field)
- A breakdown of how many competitors are priced higher, lower, or the same as you
You can click on any count to see the individual competitor details.
Market Position summarises how your price compares to competitors found in that report. It shows the number of competitors that are more expensive, less expensive, or priced the same as you. This gives you a quick sense of where you stand without having to review every competitor individually.
Yes. Stakeout can send you a daily summary email when each report completes. You can enable or disable this from the Settings page under email preferences. The email is sent to the store owner's email address on file with Shopify.
