It's easy enough to offer products for sale on Amazon. But it's much harder to turn it into a profitable business. You always need to be aware of what your competitors are doing, where your product ranks in organic searches on Amazon and what's on consumers' minds. You need to optimize your presence on Amazon and optimize your logistics.
All of this takes time. Time that you don't necessarily have as a successful seller on Amazon. That's why there are tools like Amalyze Shield that take some of the work off your hands and allow automation. In this test, I would therefore like to take a look at Amalyze and tell you about my experiences with the tool. Is it worth the price?

The Amalyze tool helps you draw conclusions and set the course for growth and profit with detailed but skillfully visualized data from a long list of modules.

Product analysis:
Visually analyze the Amazon-specific KPIs of your products or those of your competitors. From keyword ranking to price monitoring, BSR values, reviews and ratings - Amalyze makes it possible.
Keyword research:
Similar to product research, Amalyze makes keyword research easier by automatically finding new, suitable keywords. It does this for terms that are trending upwards in terms of hits, while also tracking all search terms already in use and in the database. Keywords are the main way to find products on the Amazon marketplace, so this feature is incredibly important.
Keyword analysis:

Portfolio:
Create portfolios of individually selected ASINs from queries to better understand a market segment or plan the perfect time to launch a new product line. Portfolios can be static, made up of the ASINs you select, or dynamic, where Amalyze Shield selects the relevant ASINs based on your search criteria.
SERP Volatility:

My Amalyze experience
It becomes clear soon enough that Amalyze is a robust tool to have at your disposal as a seller if you want to make a profit on Amazon. The overwhelming amount of data and analytics it gives you access to can help you optimize your brand presence, product line, and strategy. Amalyze has a clear user interface that presents the complex data in a relatively painless way. Only the relatively limited range of paid advertising can be seen as a negative point. It is primarily a research and SEO tool.
