How to spy on competitor’s keywords with Egrow

Option 1 – If you know the exact listing that you want to spy on – copy its ASIN and visit the Product Tracker on Egrow.

Add the product to the tracker and if the product is already in Egrow’s database you will get immediate access to all the product details. Considering the case that the product is not in Egrow’s database yet, you will need to wait up to 24 hours (but usually just a few minutes) while Egrow is collecting data for the product. Afterwards, visit the product details page via the Product Tracker and scroll the page down to the bottom until you see the section “KEYWORD RANKINGS”.

Option 2 (recommended) – Search for your main keywords using Egrow’s Live Amazon Scanner.

After the results are loaded, analyze the first 10 products by going to their details page. Then scroll to the bottom of the page to the “KEYWORD RANKINGS” section where you will see more related organic keywords for the product. By spying at all of the top 10 products you will collect more keywords than just from one listing.

In the “KEYWORD RANKINGS” section at the bottom of any product details page on Egrow, you will find something like this:

On the top of the section is a graph that shows historical changes for the selected keyword over time. With the free package, the user can see 7 days of historical changes, with the Standard package – 30 days and with Plus package – 90 days. Free package is limited to show 5 organic keywords, while both paid packages will show all keywords that are in Egrow’s system.

Click on any keyword below the graph to see its changes in the graph.

Number 101 in position means that the keyword is out of first two pages at Amazon.

Use the button “Copy” to get a simple copy format with all keywords for that product – ready to paste it into your Amazon PPC campaign.

You can further analyze keywords by searching for it on Google Trends or visiting related products for each keyword inside the Live Amazon Scanner.

To summarize: Egrow allows you to spy on competitor’s Amazon search keywords within just a few steps. Simply visit the product details page and look for the “KEYWORD RANKINGS” section at the bottom of the page.
