What Features Does the Insights Dashboard Provide?
The Helium 10 Insights Dashboard is packed full of features that assist with managing an Amazon FBA business. I’ll share the notable features and explain how they can help you stay on top of your business to grow revenue.
Actionable Product Alerts
The My Products section of the dashboard has an Alerts column. This column automatically scans your list of tracked products to uncover essential actions to ensure your business’s continued health and growth.
Clicking “Alerts” reveals changes that have taken place in the product space.
This can help you
- Stay ahead of the competition through Alerts like Buy Box Won and Buy Box Lost.
- Ensure your product remains visible to the Amazon audience via alerts like Listing Suppressed.
- Keep an eye on strategies your competitors may use to undercut you through alerts like Price Changed, Title Changed, Description Changed, etc.
You can define the alerts you get on tracked products, allowing you to focus on what’s crucial for your business. Learn how in this informative Helium 10 Alerts guide.
Sales and Financial Performance
At the top of the Insights dashboard, you’ll see your gross revenue, net profit, profit margin, and more data. The data is also presented as a graph to help you spot trends at a glance.
You can toggle the top bar to quickly see what products bring in the most sales or switch to “Advertising” to see how your ad spend tallies against revenue. In fact, you’ll get a quick estimation of your advertising cost of sales (ACoS), which is a great metric to determine how your PPC efforts are doing.
If you spot any anomalies or exciting sections worth exploring, simply clicking one of the options on the left-hand bar (such as Gross Profits) would take you to a more detailed dashboard.
Hence, you get an overview of important business metrics in one place and can do a deep dive right from the home screen, if need be!
Inventory Management
The Insights Dashboard gives you actionable tips on managing your inventory optimally to ensure smooth business operations.
Running a successful Amazon FBA business also entails knowing when to order new stock or pause on re-stocking. Otherwise, you may get sold out and lose market share to your competitors or order too many units that rack up storage costs in the Amazon FBA warehouse.
You’ll usually find inventory-related insights in the roundup insights box towards the top-left corner of the Insights Dashboard. Clicking “Inventory” will take you to a dedicated page where you’ll see suggestions to improve your inventory health for tracked products.
Listing Optimization
Listing Optimization insights show suggestions on how to improve your listings.
Clicking through reveals suggestions for what actions you should take on your product listings and why.
For example, Helium 10 Insights brought up these suggestions on one of my listings:
- Adding more images to make it more visually appealing. It even suggested a number of images to add, helping me eliminate guesswork.
- Adding more high-value keywords to boost my rankings. Thankfully, I can use Magnet to brainstorm new keywords to add or reverse-engineer my competitors’ keywords with Cerebro.
This feature is handy for beginners who are setting up Amazon product listings and are unsure of their execution.
As your Helium 10 dashboard gains more data about your products, it might suggest new phrases and keywords worth adding for improved visibility and ranking.
Adtomic Suggestions
Clicking on the blue Adtomic button of the Insights Dashboard shows you how to optimize PPC campaigns. This might be to go after new keywords that might convert better or alter the bid amount. These suggestions are based on the data the Helium 10 AI-based algorithm receives.
This functionality is similar to the Adtomic tool, but you may find receiving the insights via the main dashboard more convenient. Hence, you can monitor optimization suggestions at a glance from one dashboard instead of checking multiple tools manually.
Competitor Insights
Competitor insights help you quickly uncover what your competitors are doing in the background so you can stay competitive against them.
And since manually checking competitor listings for changes would be too time-consuming, this dashboard option fits.
You can even customize the competitor alerts you receive. This helps filter the results to avoid notifications that aren’t useful for your Amazon FBA business.
Other Relevant Insights
Here’s a summary of the other Insights Dashboard features you’ll find helpful:
- Product Performance: You can receive a breakdown of your product performance, which includes sales, conversions, units sold, and more. You’ll also receive notifications products are trending downward.
- Keyword: The dashboard will provide insights on what keywords you can add to your listings and PPC campaigns.
- Refunds: Receive notifications on potential refund opportunities for products that Amazon lost or damaged.
