Who determines access to the Brand Analytics tool?
You must be an Amazon Brand registered seller to access Amazon Brand Analytics. You cannot access this feature unless you own the brand on Amazon. Being a third-party seller won’t cut it.
If you don’t see the Brand Analytics option in your Seller Central account, it means you can’t access the feature.
The question is: How does Amazon determine who can use the Amazon Brand Analytics tool?
Amazon Brand Registry eligibility requirements are right, so not every seller can get in. Here are some of Amazon Brand Analytics’ eligibility requirements.
- Amazon Brand Analytics is only available to sellers who already own a brand.

- The Amazon Brand Registry should acknowledge the seller.
- The brand owner must have an active or pending trademark registration.
- The trademark for the brand must be in the form of an image-based mark (with words, letters, or numbers) or a text-based mark (with words)
- Third-party resellers and distributors are not brand owners, even though they sell branded products.

Furthemore, it can the difference between success and failure in an extremely competitive marketplace like Amazon.
What Are the Different Amazon Brand Analytics Tools?
Here are the different analytics you can access on Amazon Brand Analytics.
Amazon Search Terms Report
The Amazon Search Terms report lets you know how how customers find your products on Amazon. It also lets you see how customers find your competitor’s products.
Knowing the keywords and search terms that customers use to find your product detail page is crucial information that is vital to your success. It lets you optimize your content around these search terms, letting you rank higher on Amazon’s search results.
Search Terms
Search Terms are the keywords that customers use to find your (or your competitor’s) products.
You have two options when trying to find the search terms:
- Enter keywords related to your niche.
- Enter the product’s ASIN.
Here’s an example:
I entered the keyword toys for dogs in the Search Term field.
Here are the results:
The tool displays the Different terms related to the initial search term.
Besides the initial search term, customers use these other keywords (such as dog toys for large dogs) to find products on Amazon.
You can also try entering a product’s ASIN on the search field to see the keywords customers use to find your product.
Here’s an example:
I used the ASIN (B0876PRL18) to find the Amazon search term report containing the keywords:
The ASIN (B0876PRL18) ranks high for the following keywords:
- Dog toys
- Dog toys for large dogs
- Dog toys for medium dogs
- Large dog toys
- Pet toys
By entering related search terms, Amazon customers found the product listing connected to the ASIN (B0876PRL18) more frequently.
Optimizing your listings and targeting these keywords lets you direct more traffic to your product listings.
Search Frequency Rank
Search Frequency Rank (SFR) is the numeric rank of a search term’s popularity over all the other terms in a specific period.
The lower the SFR’s number, the more popular the search term.
Here’s an example:
My previous example shows the keyword dog toys has a Search Frequency Rank 183.
Meanwhile, the keyword toys for dogs has a Search Frequency Rank of 82,549.
These rankings mean more customers use dog toys to find the product (B0876PRL18) than toys for dogs.
Click Share and Conversion Share
Click Share and Conversion Share indicate the product’s clickthrough and conversion rates.
Click Share determines the percentage of customers who clicked on the product after searching for a particular term.
Conversion Share determines the percentage of customers who bought the product after searching for a particular term.
My previous example used the search term toys for dogs.
The result shows a product called Aipper Dog Puppy Toys, 18 Pack in the first spot, meaning when customers searched toys for dogs, 6.78% clicked on Aipper Dog Puppy Toys.
Meanwhile, 5.80% of customers buy Aipper Dog Puppy Toys after searching toys for dogs.
If you can isolate the terms with the highest clicks and conversions for your products, you can improve your advertising campaigns.
Clicked ASIN
Clicked ASIN shows the top products that customers click on after searching for a keyword on Amazon.
However, it doesn’t always mean that the product that ranks first on Amazon’s search results is the #1 Clicked ASIN.
Sometimes, a product that ranks lower on the search results can have a higher Clickthrough Rate, which is where the Clicked ASIN data comes in.
The search term dog toys for large dogs has the ASIN B0876PRL18 as the #1 Clicked ASIN.
The same ASIN (B0876PRL18) also ranks for dog toys for medium dogs.
An ASIN can be the #1 Clicked ASIN for multiple search terms, helpful information if you want to research the top competitors in your niche.
Amazon Brand Analytics returns the top 3 Clicked ASINs, letting you spy on your top three competitors.
Product Title
Product Title is similar to Clicked ASIN.
However, instead of returning the ASIN, Product Title provides the top product for a specific search term.
Market Basket Analysis
Market Basket Analysis shows you the other products shoppers purchase most frequently with your products.
This information is essential because it can provide bundling and cross-marketing opportunities.
Here’s an example.
I am selling apples, oranges, and grapes in my store.
If the Market Basket report tells me that 80% of customers who buy apples also buy grapes, bundling apples and grapes would be beneficial.
I can sell more apples and grapes at the lower bundle price and make my customers happier simultaneously.
Purchased ASIN
The Purchased ASIN is the product customers buy most frequently over your product.
The brand owner’s bestselling product, Perfect-Bound Notebook Amethyst (with ASIN B07QT758GH).
However, customers prefer the GAK, Spring Waterproof Notebook (with ASIN B09DXPS761) Thus, the #1 Purchased ASIN is B09DXPS761.
If you scroll to the right, you’ll see the #2 Purchased ASIN (B003KJ6KNO).
The #2 Purchased ASIN is the second most popular product bought over your product.
Market Basket Analysis returns only the top 3 ASINs, meaning you can only see up to the #3 Purchased ASIN for every brand product bought within the reporting range.
Purchased Title
Purchased Title shows the title of the Purchased ASIN associated with your brand product.
In the example below, GAK. Spring Notebook Waterproof Notebook is the #1 Purchased Title alongside the brand owner’s product, Perfect-Bound Notebook, Amethyst Stone Paper.
Like all the other Amazon Brand Analytics, Purchased Title shows only the top 3 entries.
Combination %
Combination % is the percentage of orders that contain both the brand owner’s product and the competitor’s most purchased product.
This percentage compares the total number of orders containing at least two different products, including the brand owner’s listed product.
The higher the Combination %, the more frequently customers buy your products with the listed product.
You can cross-market your products with the competitor products listed in the Market Basket Analysis report.
Item Comparison and Alternate Purchase Behavior
Before making a purchase, customers often compare multiple products to see which one fits their needs.
Item Comparison and Alternate Purchase Behavior lets you know the other products customers compare with yours.
The Item Comparison and Alternate Purchase Report shows the competitors’ products that Amazon customers frequently viewed and bought on the same day as your products.
This data lets you see directly competing products, helping you make better marketing strategies and advertising decisions.
Compared ASIN
Compared ASIN is the competitor ASIN shoppers compare most frequently with your products.
This data lets you see whenever a customer browses your product listing and compares your product with a competitor’s.
In the example above, the ASIN that shoppers compare most frequently with the brand owner’s product is B07QT758GH.
Clicking on the ASIN gives you more product details.
NOTE: The Compared ASIN can also show one of your own products, not just a competitor’s ASIN.
Compared %
Compared % shows the rate at which shoppers viewed another product the same day they viewed your products.
The higher the percentage, the more frequently Amazon shoppers viewed a product alongside yours.
Purchased ASIN
You can find Purchased ASIN data in the Alternate Purchase section.
Purchased ASIN is the product shoppers buy most frequently after viewing your product.
This data lets you see when a customer views your product, compares it to another ASIN, and purchases that product instead.
Purchased %
Purchased % is the rate at which customers buy a competitor’s product over yours after comparing the two.
The Purchased % field contains the percentage of customer orders that contained the Purchased ASIN, in comparison to the total number of alternative product orders.
The higher the Purchased %, the more frequently the customer purchased the competitor’s product after viewing your product.
Demographics
The Demographics Report lets you know who your customers are, where to find them, and how to reach them. This data helps you improve your marketing strategies.
The Demographics report shows the aggregate breakdown of sales of a Brand owner’s ASINs according to the following data:
- Customer age
- Household income
- Education
- Gender
- Marital status
The Demographics report shows your products in the Brand Registry.
However, only products with 100 or more unique customers within the given time period will show up in the Demographics report.
Knowing the age, household income, education, and gender of your customers can be game-changer.
For example, males between 24 to 54 years purchase chess products more than females of the same age.
With this information, you can focus your marketing efforts on targeting males between the ages 24 to 54 using Amazon PPC Campaigns.
Repeat Purchase Behavior Report
Repeat Purchase Behavior how many of your customers are repeat customers and which of your products have repeat purchases.
The Repeat Purchases report lets you know the number of orders you received for each of your products.
It also shows the number of unique customers who placed the orders and the percentage of customers who made a repeat order.
By comparing the number of orders with the number of unique customers, you can identify which products customers order repeatedly.
The more repeat purchases a product has, the more customer loyalty it generates for your brand.
You can use this information to promote your most successful Repeat Purchase Products in your Amazon Storefront, helping your generate sales.
