Google’s own tools only tell part of the story.

Auction Insights is sampled, averaged and account-level. Competitive pressure is none of those things. It happens on individual searches, and it moves.

01

Incomplete data

Google Auction Insights shows limited competitors and sampled data, leaving you blind to real-time market shifts.

02

Manual tracking

Spending hours checking competitor positions manually means less time optimising your actual campaigns.

03

Missed opportunities

By the time you notice a competitor’s strategy change, they have already captured market share you will never recover.

Track who’s competing, their market share, and how it changes over time.

Google’s Auction Insights shows who you compete with, and search term insights show how they perform auction by auction. Neither gives you the combined view: competitors moving in on your most profitable search terms. Below is an example from an outdoor retailer tracking 100+ search terms.

Visibility report · Recommendations

Recovering lost visibility on a few key ranges is the clearest path to growth

  1. Investigate the sharp drops on Vango Tuscany and Camptech awnings. Vango Tuscany 500 fell −45.4pp and Vango Tuscany −41.5pp, while Camptech Savanna dropped −34.5pp, all now trailing Onyx Outdoors. Prices on these lines are already competitive, so check product availability on these ranges first.
  2. Reclaim visibility on caravan and campervan covers. Caravan cover (−38.8pp) and caravan covers (−35.7pp) lost most of their visibility to OLPRO, which now leads both terms. Your covers sit roughly 30% below OLPRO’s pricing, so this is a visibility gap rather than a pricing problem.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Visibility Tracker

Why should I connect my Google Ads account instead of tracking competitors without it?
Connecting your account improves the accuracy and relevance of the insight. It lets the platform identify the most commercially relevant search terms to track, and doubles the number of tracked queries. It also unlocks campaign benchmarks specific to your industry.
How do you access my Google Ads account, and is it safe?
We use Google OAuth, Google’s own authorisation method. You never share your password with us, and you can revoke access at any time from your Google account. We request the access needed to view your Google Ads data. That level of access technically allows full visibility, and we use it strictly to view and analyse: we never create, edit or delete campaigns, ads, budgets or settings. Your data is used only to provide the service, and is never shared or sold.
How do ecommerce teams usually assess competitor visibility on Google Shopping?
Most start by asking who is visible when shoppers search for their products. In practice visibility is not evenly distributed. It varies by search intent, product type and timing. That is why experienced teams look past account-level metrics to visibility at the search-query level, where the real competitive pressure sits.
Why does impression share often fail to reflect real competitive pressure?
Impression share is averaged across many products and searches, which masks what is happening on commercially critical queries. It is common for a competitor to dominate a small group of high-value searches while staying relatively invisible elsewhere. The useful question is where visibility is gained or lost, and against whom.
How can you tell whether a competitor is bidding harder or just has stronger signals?
Bids are not directly observable, so aggressiveness is inferred from ranking behaviour and how stable a competitor’s visibility is. When one consistently outranks others without meaningful price changes, the cause is usually feed quality, historical performance or conversion signals rather than bid alone.
How do you identify which searches competitors prioritise?
Competitors rarely compete uniformly. They concentrate visibility on specific brands, categories or high-intent searches. Finding those priorities means analysing repeat visibility patterns over time, not occasional overlap in a campaign-level report.
Why does competitor behaviour shift so sharply during peak trading?
Competition on Google Shopping becomes far more selective at peak. Competitors often raise visibility only on discounted or high-margin products, pull back elsewhere, or move spend quickly. Reading those shifts needs historical context, not a real-time snapshot.
