Our software continuously crawls eCommerce shop shelves, looking through the customer lens, to capture anything a shopper can potentially see. How it works? We explain that below in 4 steps.
Data crawling tools can be used for many purposes. Our software crawls product detail pages of worldwide webshops and marketplaces daily. For who? For e-commerce teams, marketeers, content specialists, brand managers and digital merchandisers.
A Product Detail Page (PDP) is a web page on an eCommerce site that presents a specific product. On a PDP we usually find a product title, product images and videos, a product description, price, specifications and reviews.
SiteLucent daily monitors over 70 different metrics on product detail pages all over the web such as:
Our software makes the eCommerce data that is being crawled daily, transparent and applicable through visualizations, calculations and reports. This is what you see in your dashboards and widgets.
Widgets are small applications that visualize your data and thus make it easy understandable and applicable. SiteLucent currently uses 6 different visualization types: KPI, scatter plot, line chart, bar chart, data table and product overview.
Besides visualization type, a widget can show you different metrics such as content criteria, availability and search rank (as we explained in step 2).
Also the dimension, aggregation, time range and, in case of a data table, the table fields can change per widget.
After you create an account, you have to walk through a product selection . Here you can choose the web shops, brands and product categories you wish to start monitoring.
To match products to corresponding product pages online, we use Unique Product Identifiers such as EAN, MPN or GTIN codes. In this article you can read more about the product matching process.
We daily monitor over 1.000.000 product detail pages, mainly in the categories consumer electronics, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). More product categories, brands and retailers (worldwide) are added weekly.
In case you cannot select the products that are important to you, there is an option to request product categories, brands and retailers in the product selection process when you create a free account.
