The Mobile Blind Spot

Desktop and mobile are different pages. If you only check one, you misjudge the whole term.

Uses: Keyword Rank, Mobile Search

The blind spot

Most sellers check rank on desktop (or infer it from their own account). But the majority of Amazon traffic is mobile — and mobile is a different search page: different order, and often a completely different ad load.

How you'd run it

  1. Run Keyword Rank (desktop) and Mobile Search on the same keyword.
  2. Compare the top slots and the number of sponsored placements on each surface.
  3. Pass your ASIN to get its exact rank on each — with a ranked true/false flag.

Example

DesktopMobile
Sponsored placements07
Category leader (Owala) rank#1#3
#1 slotOwala (organic)a sponsored competitor

The leader drops from #1 to #3 on mobile, and mobile is saturated with ads while desktop has none.

Illustrative example using representative data. Your live results reflect the marketplace at lookup time.

The payoff

The decision: if you'd only looked at desktop, you'd badly misjudge where the traffic and the ad competition actually are. Checking both surfaces is how you set the right bids and track your own rank where customers really see it.
