What Is Helium 10's Market Tracker?
Market Tracker is a tool that shows sellers the big picture of their market, where they stand in it, and where their competitors stand. This tool gives you a competitive advantage because Market Tracker provides in-depth metrics to help you plan and better prepare your business.
However, there is a catch; you can’t view all your products’ historic data, only the data pulled from the time you set up for the market, thus narrowing your view.
But no worries, Market Tracker is still an amazing tool to help you gauge where your market is headed and how you are performing in said market.
