Why Geolocation Matters for Amazon Competitor Analysis
Understanding the geographic nuances of your competitors' operations can reveal critical insights. Are they focusing on specific regions? Do their pricing strategies vary by location? Are they optimizing shipping for certain areas? Geolocation data helps answer these questions, enabling you to fine-tune your strategies for maximum impact.
How SellerMagnetAPI Enables Geolocation-Based Analysis
SellerMagnetAPI provides several endpoints that, when used in conjunction, unlock powerful geolocation-based competitor insights. Here are a few key use cases:
1. Pinpointing Competitor Focus with Amazon Product Offers
The Amazon Product Offers endpoint allows you to retrieve a list of offers for a specific product, including seller information, pricing, and crucially, the option to specify a geo_location. By changing the geo_location parameter and observing the changes in available offers, pricing, and shipping costs, you can infer where your competitors are focusing their efforts.
Endpoint: /amazon-product-offers
Method: GET

asin(required): Product ASIN (e.g., "B08N5WRWNW")marketplaceId(required): Marketplace ID (e.g., "A1PA6795UKMFR9")geo_location(optional): Detailed Geo Location ZIP CODE (e.g., "10001" for New York City)api_key(required): Your API key
