For brand owners
Benchmark your store against the leaders in your niche
You can only see your own analytics. Store Detector gives you the other side — what the biggest stores in your category are doing on traffic, pricing, apps and SEO, so you know whether your numbers are good or just familiar.
Install free
Your Shopify dashboard tells you what happened in your store and nothing about the market around it. Without a benchmark, a good month and a mediocre one look the same.
How to run it, step by step
Every step maps to a panel that exists today. Follow it in order and you have an answer in a couple of minutes.

1
Find who is actually above you
Start from the ranking page for your country and niche. It lists every store we hold for that intersection in traffic order, so you can see exactly where you sit.

2
Compare traffic shape, not just size
Look at whether the leaders are growing or decaying, and which markets their traffic comes from. A rival flat in your country while growing abroad is a different threat than one taking share at home.
Traffic & revenue -

Audit their tech against yours
Their app stack shows you what the category considers table stakes — and where you are missing a revenue mechanism like post-purchase upsell or subscriptions.

Take the keywords they own
Their ranking keywords are a validated list of what buyers in your category search. Most are winnable with content you can publish this quarter.

Frequently asked questions
Can competitors see that I looked at their store?
No. Everything Store Detector reads is public — the storefront, the public product feed, the Meta Ad Library. Nothing notifies the merchant, and we never touch a store’s admin.
Can I see my own store’s data?
You can, and it is a useful sanity check on the estimates — you are the one person who can compare our model against real numbers.
