If you want to succeed on Amazon, it’s not enough to list a great product — you also need to understand your competition. Every product niche on Amazon has sellers fighting for attention, rankings, and clicks. By studying what your competitors are doing (and what they’re missing), you can position your offer more effectively and drive more sales.

So how do you know who you're up against, what strategies they use, and how to beat them? Here's how to conduct a smart competitor analysis that actually leads to growth — not guesswork.

Know Who Your Real Competitors Are

It all starts with identifying the right competitors. You’re not competing with every seller in your category — just those who rank for the same keywords, sell similar products, and target the same customers.

Search your main product keywords on Amazon and analyze the top 10–20 listings. Focus on those with similar price points, features, and product types. You can also explore the Best Sellers page in your category or use our Product Database tool to see which products (and sellers) dominate your niche.

Pricing Strategy: Where Do You Stand?

Price can make or break your sales. If your product is priced too high, you risk getting ignored. Too low — and your profits vanish.

Look at how your competitors price their items. Do they offer bundle deals, coupons, or regular discounts? Are they competing on premium value, or fighting a price war?

If most sellers are pricing high, offering a slightly more affordable version can help you win early traction. On the other hand, if the space is saturated with cheap offers, a premium or bundled version might help you stand out — as long as your product justifies the price.

Listing Quality: Who’s Winning at SEO?

Amazon rewards well-optimized listings — and customers prefer them too. Take a close look at how your competitors write their product titles, bullet points, and descriptions. Are they using relevant keywords? Are they addressing real buyer concerns?

Strong listings also include great product photos, infographics, and (if eligible) A+ Content. If your top competitors are missing high-quality visuals or keyword-rich content, that’s your chance to outperform them with a better, more polished presentation.

Let the Reviews Do the Talking

Customer reviews are a goldmine of insights. What are people praising or complaining about?

Check for patterns in negative reviews — things like poor packaging, inaccurate sizing, or low durability. These are your opportunities to improve. On the flip side, highlight the strengths competitors are being praised for in your own listing — or aim to do even better.

Who’s Advertising (and Where)?

If your competitors are running Amazon Sponsored Ads, promoting on social media, or using influencer marketing — you need to know. It means they’re investing in visibility and likely driving traffic that you’re not reaching organically.

Use this intel to shape your strategy. If they’re running PPC ads, you may need to do the same. If they’re silent on external channels, consider leveraging Instagram or TikTok to gain an edge.
