ShopBuzz is a tool that lets you analyze individual websites' search traffic and create lists of websites to compare popularity, top keywords, and more.

Please note that while ShopBuzz was made by the same people who made the eRank tools you know and love, it is hosted on a separate website.

Use ShopBuzz to gain insight into e-commerce marketplace trends and see which marketplaces drive the most traffic from various sources. This can help you determine which marketplaces are best for your brand.

In eRank's Main Menu (the green side panel on the left side of your screen), click "Sites."

Click the green "Join ShopBuzz" button in the middle of your screen to navigate to the ShopBuzz website. From there, click the green "Start Free" button to create an account or log into an existing account.

Once you're logged in, enter up to five websites' URLs (examples: "store.com" or "store.com/blog") in the gray section at the top of your screen. To add more URLs, click "+ Add Competitor" in the bottom left corner of the section. Then, click the green "Search" button on the right to view search traffic data.

To save your search, click the "Track" button in the top left corner of your screen.

All the websites you added to your search appear at the top of your screen.

To add another website to your search, click the green "+ Compare" button, located to the right of the URLs.

After you've saved a search, you can access it anytime via the side panel on the left side of your screen.

Since ShopBuzz displays real-time data, this function lets you monitor the website's (or websites') traffic over time. You can use this information to determine if a website is ideal for supporting your brand. If you're monitoring competitors' websites, this function shows how their popularity changes throughout the year.

Click the green "+ New Search" button at the top of the side panel to start a new search.

Click the three dots to the right of any saved search to rename it, open it in a new tab, or remove it from the side panel.
