October 2018 Seelk Studio Updates: Tracking, Keywords and Attributes Management

Seelk Studio is an e-commerce SaaS dedicated to Amazon. Currently in development, our beta-release is limited to internal use.

Highlights

We’ve released several major updates to Seelk Studio which are encouraging steps towards our public release.

We’ve added three new apps (currently in beta testing): Tracking, Keywords and Attributes Management. More details on both are available below.

Two of our flagship apps, Catalog and Business Intelligence, have had significant overhauls in term of data management, functionality and user experience. Best news of all, is that Business Intelligence now properly manages both Amazon Seller and Amazon Vendor accounts.

Most notably, we’ve implemented a new filtering feature, which allows users to dynamically build filters, save them as .json files and reupload them into the filters app when needed. The filter system will eventually be applied across all apps in Seelk Studio.

For now, filters are fully functional on our Catalog app : they are applied to content even as you switch between sub-sections of the app.

A semi-complete version of filters is also applied to our Business Intelligence app, where you are able to filter by Attributes and Country.

User can now manage the frequency at which their Amazon listings are updated in Seelk Studio with our new Tracking sub-section currently located in the Catalog app. User can set either Never, Daily, Every 2 Days, Weekly, Monthly or High frequency for the tracking of not only of their Amazon products, but also organic keywords and competitors products inside their Amazon categories.

Users with access to multiple client accounts now have a powerful client-selector view that allows them to see the global sales data (Total Sales and Units Sold) before selecting the client account.

We’ve also made major updates to the user interface — a combination of styling, the new filter component and restructured navigation, gives user greater space, clarity and unity experience.

Tracking [new!]

• Set tracking frequency for offers (individual ASINs), categories and organic keywords (paid keywords are tracked automatically and daily if users have connected Seelk Studio to their Amazon Marketing account)
• Set tracking frequency for all elements to: Never, Daily, Every 2 Days, Weekly, Monthly and High frequency

Keywords [new!]

Keywords app allows users to see the frequency and distribution at which their products appear in the search results when a specific ‘search term’ (i.e. Keyword) is searched on Amazon. At a quick glance, users are able to see what “share of voice” their products have per Amazon search term. This is organized into two main elements: paid keywords (i.e. the keywords with which you compete on Amazon Marketing) and organic keywords (keywords which you have included in your product’s content).

• There are four main metrics:
• Organic Keywords
• Paid Keywords
• Organic Visibility
• Paid Visibility
• Chart that visualises the progression of Paid Visibility and Organic Visibility over the default period (we’re aiming to have custom periods implemented for the next version of this app). Ability to display the frequency of data based on ‘weeks, ‘ months’ and ‘days’.
• In the table, users are able to see the following Metrics per Keyword, Category (Amazon) and Brands:
• # of keywords
• Overall Visibility Score
• Organic Visibility
• Paid Visibility
• Ads. Pg.1
• # Products,
• Distribution
• Competitors by Keywords
• Page distribution (# of products on pages 1 to 7)
• In the table view, Custom Attributes have the following metrics:
• # of keywords
• # of products
• Page distribution (# of products on pages 1 to 7)

Attributes [new!]

• Create group(s) for attributes via the interface
• Add Attributes using excel spreadsheet template which you download and reupload

User Interface

• New main navigation bar on the left side
• Dynamic filters
• Improvement to the unification of interface elements (button, inputs, dropdowns, selectors, tabs, etc. all the same — nearly!)
• New color scheme that technically facilitates future implementation of colored-based themes!

Upcoming Features (Work in Progress!)

• Marketing (campaign-level) custom attributes
• Improved UI — further unification of interface elements, Catalog app minor improvements, Marketing & Business app UI fixes and improvements, improved tables (UI fixes + dynamic column selection).
