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

Parameters:

  • 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
curl --location --request GET 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-product-offers?asin=B08N5WRWNW&marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&geo_location=10001&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'

Response Example:

{
  "data": {
    "asin": "B08N5WRWNW",
    "buyBox": {
      "condition": "New",
      "deliveryDate": "2025-07-02",
      "fulfillmentType": "FBA",
      "inventory": 10,
      "positivePercentage": 95,
      "priceWithoutShipping": 29.99,
      "sellerId": "A1234567890",
      "sellerName": "Example Seller",
      "shippingPrice": 0.00,
      "totalPrice": 29.99,
      "totalReviews": 1000
    },
    "currency": {
      "code": "USD",
      "name": "United States Dollar",
      "symbol": "$"
    },
    "marketplaceId": "ATVPDKIKX0DER",
    "offers": [
      {
        "condition": "New",
        "deliveryDate": "2025-07-02",
        "fulfillmentType": "FBA",
        "inventory": 10,
        "positivePercentage": 95,
        "priceWithoutShipping": 29.99,
        "sellerId": "A1234567890",
        "sellerName": "Example Seller",
        "shippingPrice": 0.00,
        "totalPrice": 29.99,
        "totalReviews": 1000
      }
    ],
    "productLink": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW",
    "productMainImage": "https://example.com/image.jpg",
    "productTitle": "Example Product"
  },
  "success": true
}

By analyzing the offers array and the buyBox object across different geo_location values, you can see which sellers are most competitive in specific areas.

2. Understanding Local Product Demand with Amazon Search

The Amazon Search endpoint, enhanced with the geo_location parameter, allows you to gauge local product demand. By performing searches with specific ZIP codes, you can identify trending products and understand regional preferences. This is invaluable for optimizing your inventory and marketing efforts.

Endpoint: /amazon-search

Method: GET

Parameters:

  • q (required): Search query (e.g., "phone")
  • marketplaceId (required): Marketplace ID (e.g., "A1PA6795UKMFR9")

  • api_key (required): Your API key
curl --location --request GET 'https://sellermagnet-api.com/amazon-search?q=phone&marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&geo_location=10001&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'

        "listingPrice": {
          "price": {
            "currency_code": "USD",
            "currency_name": "United States Dollar",
            "currency_symbol": "$",
            "total": "199.00"
          }
        },
        "mainImage": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41sJwpj1wHL._AC_UY218_.jpg",
        "on_sale": false,
        "position": 1,
        "productTitle": "Samsung Galaxy S10",
        "reviewAmount": 1234,
        "reviewRating": 4.5,
        "sponsored": false
      }
    ]
  },
  "success": true
}

Compare search results across different locations to uncover regional trends and competitor activity.

While the Amazon Seller Review endpoint itself doesn't directly accept a geo_location parameter, you can use insights from the Product Offers endpoint to identify key competitors in specific regions.
