Brand and Subcategory Revenue Rankings and Trends in Every Marketplace

Revenue rankings and trends by brand and by subcategory now work in AI Analyst and in AI assistants connected to SmartScout for all 12 marketplaces. These questions used to time out outside the US. Answers now come back in seconds, and a brand's ranking among all brands is exact. Brand and subcategory history remains part of the Enterprise plan.
‍

What you can ask

  • Brand rankings by month: where a brand stands among every brand in its marketplace, month by month, for any period since January 2024.
  • Top brands: the highest-revenue brands for a month or for the year so far.
  • Subcategory trends: monthly revenue and units for any subcategory, including a whole category together with all of its child subcategories in one answer.
  • Subcategory rankings: the largest subcategories by revenue, or the fastest growing month over month, across the whole catalog in a single question.
    ‍

Corrected ranking

  • Asking where one brand ranks among all brands could show that brand as number 1 in every month. Rankings now count every brand in the marketplace for each month, so the position shown is the real one.
    ‍

Good to know

  • History starts in January 2024. The most recent 30 days are not included yet, the same as on the website, so the newest month can end a few days early.
  • Subcategory names appear in each marketplace's own language, for example Hundefutter in Germany.
  • Brand and subcategory totals can differ slightly from the sum of individual products, because they follow the same source as the website's Scope charts.
