Domain vs. Domain: Compare your and your competitors’ product listing ads side-by-side

Domain vs. Domain: Compare your and your competitors’ product listing ads side-by-side
Last week, we promised SEMrush users that they would get more features for evaluating the competitive landscape of Google Shopping. Promises made, promises kept! And the Domain vs. Domain tool, empowered with PLA data, is ready to bring you insight into competitors’ Google Shopping campaigns! How are you performing compared to your e-commerce rivals? Now you can find out in a few clicks! 
You will see your and your e-commerce rivals’ common PLA keywords  (2)−those ones that trigger your and their PLAs to pop up in SERPs.

  • Next to every keyword, you will see the position (3) each domain is getting with it. Therefore, you will be able to instantly understand who is performing better for each search query.

These common PLA keywords have, undoubtedly, the highest level of competition. Metrics related to each keyword, such as its volume, CPC, competition, search results, and trend, also help you to estimate how “difficult” keywords are.
  • By defining the most difficult keywords, you can fine-tune your PLA strategy for winning higher positions with search terms or focus more on keywords with less competition.
  • By using selectors (4), you can display each domain’s unique PLA keywords (5). These keywords have less competition because they are used only by one competitor out of all the ones being compared. And you can add them to your PLA armory in order to spread your products’ presence in SERPs.

  • To see where you are the absolute winner, display only your website’s unique keywords (6) (in this case, per your website's name in the first input field). You will see for which keywords your PLAs appear and for which ones your competitors’ PLAs don’t (7).

  • You can also display domains’ all keywords (8) that they have on Google Shopping to get a comprehensive overview of their performance.

Tip: The Domain vs. Domain tool is also useful for estimating a domain’s PLA keywords’ performance compared to its organic and AdWords keywords.
  • Enter the same domain’s name three times, and choose different data’s types: organic, AdWords, and shopping (9). By using different selectors, you can see for which keywords a domain is ranking in both organic and paid search results, for which of them it appears only in organic listings, and for which of them it shows up only with PLAs and text ads.

We hope you’ll enjoy manipulating SEMrush Product Listing Ads data via the Domain vs. Domain tool!

Like SEMrush PLA data but not only need it for the US database? Stay tuned! In the near future, all PLA data, including PLA Positions, Competitors reports, and Copies reports will be available for more Google regional databases!
