A Product and market research

3 templates · Market checks before entry
01

Category product research

Before entering a category, assess market size, price bands and the difficulty of launching a new product.

Product research
Prompt

I am considering entering the [US] marketplace's [category keyword, e.g. portable fan] market. First find the relevant Xiyou market-insights category, then retrieve the last 24 months: market-size trends, unit sales and revenue in high/mid/low price bands, unit sales and product counts for new versus existing products, and seasonality. Summarize whether the market is growing or shrinking, the most promising price band and the difficulty for new products, and advise whether entry is worthwhile.

Tool chain search_market_insight_categories → generate_category_insight_resource → get_category_market_size_trends get_category_price_segment_trends get_category_new_release_opportunity_trends get_category_seasonality

Advanced: To explore a price band further, add: "List the top 20 ASINs by sales in this price band."

02

Category brand landscape

Assess concentration and whether established leaders hold their share or new brands are gaining.

Landscape
Prompt

Analyze [US] marketplace's [category] brand landscape: retrieve the latest brand market-size ranking and the top five brands' unit-sales and revenue trends over 12 months, plus the top 20 ASINs in monthly sales. Summarize approximate CR5 share, stability among leading brands and fast-growing newcomers.

Tool chain get_category_brand_market_size → get_category_brand_sales_trends → get_category_sales_ranking_monthly
03

Seasonal inventory and promotion planning

Plan replenishment and advertising starts before peak season.

Operations
Prompt

On the [US] marketplace, I sell [product/category] . Check category seasonality, peak/off seasons and short-term forecasts, alongside 24-month market-size trends and monthly keyword searches. Estimate the months when peak demand begins, peaks and declines, suggest inventory timing and how far ahead to start advertising during the off season.

Tool chain get_category_seasonality get_category_market_size_trends get_category_keyword_search_volume_trends

B Competitor analysis

3 templates · Put competitor actions on a timeline
04

In-depth competitor profile

Break down a competitor's pricing, traffic mix and recent changes.

Competitor
Prompt

Help me analyze this competitor in depth on the [US] marketplace: [ASIN or product URL] : basics (price, rating, review count, variations), orders in the last 30 days, monthly sales over 12 months, traffic scores over seven days (organic versus advertising), BSR trends, and title/main-image change history. Summarize pricing strategy, traffic mix and recent adjustments.

Tool chain get_asin_info get_asin_orders_last_30_days get_asin_order_trends get_asin_traffic get_asin_bsr_trends get_asin_info_change_trends
06

Variation and pricing configuration

Understand which competitor variations drive sales and which attract traffic.

Competitor
Prompt

Analyze [US] marketplace's [ASIN] and its variation strategy: retrieve parent/child relationships, then batch-query all child ASINs' basics and 30-day orders. Identify the best-selling color/configuration/capacity, pricing tiers, core and traffic-driving variations, and lessons for our variation lineup.

Tool chain get_asin_variations → get_asin_info + get_asin_orders_last_30_days (batch)

C Keywords and traffic

3 templates · Select keywords, build listings and diagnose traffic
07

Keyword shortlist

Create a tiered shortlist before keyword placement or advertising a new product.

Keywords
Prompt

I want to build a keyword strategy for [US] marketplace product [product name/ASIN] . First reverse-search [ASIN, optionally competitor ASINs] for keywords with rankings and traffic in the last seven days. Batch-query search volume, ABA rank, competition and suggested bids, then check ABA weekly growth. Prioritize high searches and low competition, classify core, long-tail and watchlist terms, and suggest exact/phrase/broad targeting for each tier.

Tool chain get_asin_keywords → get_keyword_info (batch) → get_keyword_aba_trends
08

Traffic decline diagnosis

Follow a fixed chain to distinguish advertising, rankings and conversion when orders fall.

Diagnosis
Prompt

My ASIN [B0XXXXXXXX] ( [US] marketplace) has seen orders fall over the past [2] weeks. Check in order: daily organic versus ad traffic decline; daily ranking and traffic for core keywords; BSR; and ad activity changes, including shutdowns or budget cuts. Identify the main cause and suggest advertising, listing or pricing actions.

Tool chain get_asin_traffic_trends → get_asin_keyword_rank_trends + get_asin_keyword_traffic_trends → get_asin_bsr_trends → get_asin_ad_change_trends
09

Keyword first-page difficulty

Understand the entry threshold before bidding on a keyword.

Keywords
Prompt

Assess the difficulty of reaching the first page on the [US] marketplace for keyword [keyword] : retrieve search volume, ABA rank, competition, suggested bid and ABA weekly trends; reverse-search ASINs competing for this keyword's traffic over seven days; and review monthly competitive history. Summarize incumbents' rating/review thresholds and price bands, and likely requirements for a new ASIN to reach page one.

Tool chain get_keyword_info get_keyword_aba_trends → get_keyword_asin_analysis → get_keyword_analysis_monthly

D Rankings and opportunity monitoring

1 template · Monthly category movement checks
10

Monthly category rankings monitor

Track sales, new-product and rising rankings to detect unusual movers.

Monitoring
Prompt

Help me track [US] marketplace's [category] this month's rankings: retrieve the top 20 parent ASINs in monthly sales, new-product and rising lists, compare with last month, and identify new entries and fastest climbers. Review the top three climbers using basics, 30-day orders and traffic scores to assess whether price, new-product traffic or advertising drives them.

Tool chain get_category_sales_ranking_monthly get_category_new_release_ranking_monthly get_category_surging_ranking_monthly → get_asin_info + get_asin_orders_last_30_days + get_asin_traffic

Variant: Replace monthly with yearly for an annual review. Child-ASIN scope suits individual listings; parent-ASIN scope suits overall brand comparisons.

E Listings and reviews

2 templates · Listing changes and review entry thresholds
11

Competitor listing change tracking

Track title and main-image changes to understand what competitors are testing.

Listing
Prompt

Help me monitor [US] marketplace: [ASIN] in the last [6] months: retrieve each title/main-image change with dates and before/after comparisons, alongside price and rating trends. Analyze timing (pre-season growth, bad reviews or traffic declines), direction (keywords, narrower feature expectations or a new visual selling point), and actual traffic/rating changes afterward.

Tool chain get_asin_info_change_trends get_asin_info_trends

Advanced: Monitor three to five competitors to compare leaders and followers. Waves of redesigns may signal changing keywords or visual preferences.

12

Category review threshold diagnosis

Assess the review barrier and satisfaction level before entering a category.

Reviews
Prompt

Assess [US] marketplace's [category] and its review entry threshold: retrieve category rating and review-count distributions, then batch-query ratings/reviews for the top 20 monthly-sales ASINs. Address satisfaction, 1–2 star share and common pain points; the approximate reviews needed for top-20 entry; and estimated time/orders for a zero-review launch to reach that threshold, with a judgment on value.

Tool chain search_market_insight_categories → get_category_star_rating_distribution get_category_rating_count_distribution → get_category_sales_ranking_monthly → get_asin_info (batch)

Insight: Categories with over 20% 1–2 star ratings may have common product pain points. Negative reviews can reveal VOC themes and opportunities for differentiation.

F Advertising tactics and placements

2 templates · Advertising cadence and traffic placements
13

Competitor advertising tactics

Determine whether a competitor advertises continuously or in pulses.

Advertising
Prompt

Break down [US] marketplace: [ASIN] and its advertising tactics: retrieve daily newly observed ad activities over the last [12] months and summarize monthly additions for SP / SB / SBV, alongside daily organic/ad traffic shares. Assess continuous versus pulsed advertising, peak timing (season, sale or launch), whether organic traffic grows as the ad-to-organic ratio falls, likely seasonal emphasis, and whether off-season advertising stops or stays low.

Tool chain get_asin_ad_change_trends get_asin_traffic_trends

Scope reminder: Ad data includes only newly observed activities, not stop records. Use falling advertising traffic scores to assess pullbacks, not activity counts alone.

14

Advertising placement traffic mix

Understand which placements an ASIN's advertising appears in.

Advertising
Prompt

Analyze [US] marketplace ASIN [B0XXXXXXXX] in the last [30] days of ad placement traffic: retrieve daily traffic with scores for SP, SB, SBV, SOR (other search-results placements), OR (other product-detail placements), and OOR (off-site). Summarize the dominant placement, SBV share and whether the SOR/OR balance suggests search competition or competitor detail-page traffic. Compare with [competitor ASIN] and describe differences in placement mix.

Tool chain get_asin_traffic_trends (positionTrafficScore: six-placement breakdown) → get_asin_traffic (last seven days: aggregate comparison)

Interpretation: High OR suggests detail-page interception; high SOR suggests search targeting; high SBV may indicate a strong creative capability. Treat these as analytical interpretations.

G Batch and matrix analysis

3 templates · Compare competitors, keywords and marketplaces
15

Batch competitor overview

Review up to 10 competitors at a weekly or monthly meeting.

Batch
Prompt

For the [US] marketplace, review these competitors in a batch: [B0XXXXXXXX, B0YYYYYYYY, B0ZZZZZZZZ … up to 20] . Retrieve basics (price/rating/reviews), 30-day orders and seven-day organic/ad traffic scores for each. Create a table sorted by orders, highlighting price rises/cuts, fastest review growth, healthiest organic-to-ad mix and ratings below 4.2 as potential opportunities.

Tool chain get_asin_info + get_asin_orders_last_30_days + get_asin_traffic (all three support batch queries)

Cadence: Run every Monday and save the table. Comparing three periods helps reveal price changes and weakening competitors.

16

Keyword comparison matrix

Compare up to 20 candidate advertising terms before launch.

Keywords
Prompt

I want to build a keyword strategy for [US] marketplace product [product] select advertising terms from: [keyword1, keyword2, … up to 20] . Batch-query search volume, ABA rank, competition and suggested bid; then retrieve ABA weekly trends for [5] core candidates to check growth. Create a matrix ranked by value using search volume and competition, distinguishing high-search/low-competition terms, expensive crowded terms and suggested bids above 15% of my order value of [XX] USD (exclude these under the original prompt's cost heuristic).

Tool chain get_keyword_info (batch) → get_keyword_aba_trends (check core terms individually)

Check: Verify bids against order value × expected conversion rate. Even cheap CPC can lose money when conversion is weak. Prioritize exact targeting for promising low-competition terms.

17

Marketplace opportunity comparison

Compare gaps across the US, UK, Germany and Japan for one category.

Cross-marketplace
Prompt

On the [US] marketplace, I sell [product/category keyword] , and I want to assess Europe and Japan. In each of the [UK] 、 [DE] 、 [JP] marketplaces, find the category's market-insights node. Compare market-size trends, high/mid/low price bands, prices and review thresholds for monthly top-10 ASINs, and keyword search trends. Build a matrix of capacity/growth, competition/review barriers and price fit with my costs, then rank recommended entry markets with reasons.

Tool chain search_market_insight_categories + generate_category_insight_resource (each marketplace separately) → get_category_market_size_trends get_category_price_segment_trends get_category_sales_ranking_monthly get_category_keyword_search_volume_trends (each marketplace separately)

Note: Switch the marketplace parameter for each query; do not mix data across markets. For Japan, also consider size preferences and local brands; a low review barrier does not ensure easy entry.

H Growth and pricing

4 templates · Find rising products, explain growth, position prices and monitor sales
18

Promising new-product discovery

Find potential winners in new-product rankings before they grow.

Product research
Prompt

Help me find candidates in the [US] marketplace's [category] new-product rankings: retrieve the past [3] months' monthly top-20 lists, identify persistent entries whose rankings keep improving, and review the top three using basics, monthly orders, organic/ad traffic, pricing and review growth. Assess new-product support, ad spending or differentiated features as growth drivers, and decide which to follow or avoid.

Tool chain get_category_new_release_ranking_monthly (consecutive months) → get_asin_info get_asin_order_trends get_asin_traffic get_asin_info_trends

Method: One monthly ranking can be noisy. Compare at least three months; sustained ranking improvement matters more than an absolute position.

19

Rising-product attribution

Understand why a category product suddenly climbs.

Attribution
Prompt

[US] marketplace's [category] in the monthly rising rankings, [ASIN] has surged. Retrieve basics, monthly orders, daily organic/ad traffic, BSR, newly observed ads, price history and listing changes. Assess whether advertising pulses, low-price volume, off-site promotion (total traffic rises without ad growth) or category-wide seasonality explains it, whether momentum can last and whether I should respond.

Tool chain get_category_surging_ranking_monthly → get_asin_info get_asin_order_trends get_asin_traffic_trends get_asin_bsr_trends get_asin_ad_change_trends get_asin_info_trends

Signal: A rise in total traffic without ad growth can suggest off-site promotion. Searching the brand on TikTok or YouTube may help identify a source.

20

Price positioning strategy

Find a price-band gap for a launch instead of guessing.

Pricing
Prompt

I need to price [US] marketplace new product [product/category] at a target of [XX] – [YY] USD. Retrieve 12-month unit-sales and revenue trends across high/mid/low price bands; list ASINs around the target price; and batch-query the top-selling [10] products' prices, ratings and reviews. Show unit/revenue shares (volume is not revenue), review/rating thresholds and concentration, then suggest a specific price gap, launch/list price combination and room for the first promotion.

Tool chain get_category_price_segment_trends → get_category_price_segment_asins (or _parent_asins )→ get_asin_info (batch)

Experience: Revenue share indicates value; unit share indicates volume. Large differences may reveal a promising price-band gap, subject to validation.

21

Sale-day hourly ranking monitor

Track your own and competitors' rankings hourly on Prime Day or Black Friday.

Major sale
Prompt

On sale day ( [2026-07-08] Prime Day), monitor hourly rankings for [US] marketplace ASIN [B0XXXXXXXX] under keyword [keyword] : retrieve its 24-hour ranking curve and compare competitor [B0YYYYYYYY] under the same keyword. Show hourly fluctuations, when rankings reshuffle, whether my listing holds page one during likely traffic peaks (00–06 and 20–24), when the competitor overtakes me and ranking recovery in the following week.

Tool chain get_asin_keyword_rank_hourly (own listing + competitor, same keyword and day) → get_asin_keyword_rank_trends (recovery in the week around the sale)

Tactic: Build core terms onto page one 7–10 days before the sale; focus on holding position on the day. Archive hourly data for next year's planning.

I Your own listing operations

Weekly own-ASIN health check

Run every Monday, compare with last week and detect changes early.

Health check
Prompt

Give my ASIN [B0XXXXXXXX] ( [US] marketplace) a weekly check: seven-day organic/ad traffic scores, daily rankings for core keywords [keyword1, keyword2, keyword3] , BSR, prices, review counts, rating changes and newly observed ads this week. Classify each metric as normal, worse or better week over week; suggest possible causes and weekly actions for declines.

Tool chain get_asin_traffic get_asin_keyword_rank_trends get_asin_bsr_trends get_asin_info_trends get_asin_ad_change_trends

Cadence: Run on the same weekday and archive each report. Investigate single-week changes; consider strategic adjustments after three consecutive periods in the same direction.
