How to use the Competitor Analysis?

How to find and analyze competitor stores in DropshipTool — keyword filters, advanced filters, tracking and store insights.

Written by Arsalan Ali

Competitor Analysis finds the stores selling in your niche and shows you what is working for them, using live data rather than guesswork.

1. Set your search parameters

Include keywords to narrow to what you want:

  • Title keywords — words that must appear in product titles.

  • Description keywords — words that must appear in descriptions.

  • Domain keywords — words in the store's domain.

Exclude keywords to filter out what you do not:

  • The same three fields, used in reverse — excluding a broad term like a competitor's brand name often cleans up the results more than adding another include.

2. Apply advanced filters

Click Advanced Filters to refine further:

  • Price range — minimum and maximum product prices.

  • Sales volume — minimum and maximum.

  • Domain, store currency and store language.

  • Launch date — when the store opened. Recently launched stores that are already selling well are often the most useful signal.

3. Review the results

Browse the competitors and products that match, and click any listing for detail — product images, pricing and store information.

4. Track the interesting ones

Click Track on any store or product to follow its performance over time.
