What is Helium 10?

Helium 10 has been developed by Amazon Sellers, that's why it is the best suite of tools used both for agencies and Amazon FBA experts.

• Amazon Marketplace Sellers using their own logistics (FBM: Fulfillment By Merchant)
• Amazon Marketplace Sellers using Amazon's logistics (FBA: Fulfillment By Amazon)

Helium 10 features breakdown

Let's break down every feature

Cerebro

Well, I must say this is my favourite one. Spy on your competition by getting loots of keyword ideas using reverse ASIN.

Cerebro will give you data on search volume, number of competitors and competing products, information about the keywords using on PPC campaigns and their Cerebro IQ Score.

Cerebro is used to do a reverse search from the ASIN. You just have to enter this internal Amazon code and it will search all the keywords within the ASIN and, as if that were not enough, the parameters such as the number of organic competitors, the ones that do PPC and the Cerebro IQ Score, which is a score based on an own algorithm to help you determine which are the most interesting keywords by search volume and competitors.

Cerebro for Walmart US

Cerebro is now working also for Walmart US, just check the Walmart's Product ID, introduce it on the tool and get the keywords that product is ranking for.

Black Box

A powerful set of product research tools to find the most profitable products based on your criteria (not just keywords, categories or ASINs). Find your next private lable product winner in just a few clicks.

Black Box can help you search using:

• Products (by categories or keywords)
• Keywords (new 2019 feature)
• Competitors (by ASIN)
• Niche (by keyword or category)
• Product targeting (by ASIN)

Trendster

A powerful data analytics tool that will give you information on a product seasonality and trends to decide wether it's a product with steady demand or not.

Xray

The Amazon product research tool turned into Chrome Extension. A great alternative to Jungle Scout that shows, directly on Amazon's catalogue information such as:

• Inventory Levels
• Total and average revenue
• Best Sellers Rank
• Who's owning the Buy Box
• Product's Fulfillment
• Rating
• Number of reviews
• Direct access to the product keywords via Cerebro
• Direct access to the product listing optimization via Scribbles
• Profitabilty calculator

 

Follow Up

The Helium 10 Follow-Up tool. Automatize customer email and feedback requests to help you on:

• Branding
• Getting reviews
• Improving seller feedback ratings
• Reducing negative reviews
• Providing extra value to your customers

Long story short: this feature will help you get more reviews, which will lead you to more sales velocity and better organic rankings on Amazon.

Adtomic

Adtomic is the latest tool launched by Helium10, only available to their Platinum plan customers. It is an AI-based Amazon PPC platform, carefully designed to help you scale your business on Amazon quickly. Find a detailed review on the Adtomic here.

Adtomic is defined as an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand PPC platform that makes two powerful elements available to Platinum customers: Dashboard and Analytics. With the first one, you will access the data; with the second one, you will give them meaning that will empower your business. 

And it is remarkable how easy it is to use, we must admit it.

On the Adtomic dashboard, you will be able to see your PPC investment, your PPC conversion, your ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sales), your total sales and your total ACoS –all unified in the same place so that you can check it out in the easiest possible way.

Thanks to this, you can quickly see if your campaigns are making sales or losing money, and you can also identify high ACoS by campaign and keyword. To top it all off, you can review sales data going back up to 2 years. 

With Analytics, you will be able to make sense of all this data: your investment per ad, your impressions, your clicks, your ROAS… You will also be able to know what keywords buyers use to find you and thus focus on them and what keywords are making you lose money, and how to spot trends that may affect your overall sales. 

Hijacking Alerts

Products listings are monitored 24/7 for fraud & other unintended changes and you'll be notified in real time if they do using:

• Push notifications via Helium 10 mobile app
• SMS
• Email

You won't find another tool covering so much real time alerts:

Magnet

Magnet is Helium 10's keyword research tool. I'd say: “the definitive keyword tool” as I can assure you won't need another one.

Not only will let you find profitable keywords and search phrases used by users, but analyse wether those keys are on your rankings or not.

It all starts with a “seed keyword” and the tool does the rest for you, showing variations and related keywords plus metrics such as monthly volume, competing products, sponsored ASINs…

Magnet for Walmart US

Magnet is now working also for Walmart US, so you can introduce up to 200 keywords and get volume and competition estimations for them.

Misspellinator

A misspelling search tool to maximize your keywords.

The Misspellinator will show you misspellings for your main keywords, so you can include them on your front and back-end keywords and get some precious (and low competition) traffic for those keys.

Frankenstein

A keyword tool processor to help you obtain monthly search data and profitable lists.

Frankestein can quickly process thousands of keywords in bulk and show you the search volume data, competition, popularity… Then you will convert this keywords into texts for your listings or back-end keywords.

Basically what Frankestein allows you is to process the keywords that you already have:

• eliminate duplicates
• eliminate words from keyphrases that do not interest you
  • for example commercial brands
  • features that your product does not have
• replace texts

Long story short: it can save you a lot of time and you will see how do you pass thousands of words to a few hundred that are the ones that really interest you?

Scribbles

Helium 10's listing optimization tool pulling and importing data directly from your Seller Central Account.

Introduce a list of keywords, process the listing and Scribbles will help you optimize:

• Listing title
• Bullet points
• Features
• Description
• Backend keywords

According to the keywords on the list. But not just that, Scribbles will also help you check if you are using the most profitable keywords on your product name, description and bullet points. The tool will make your listing optimization easier, being able to write you product name, description and bullets on the tool and check if they are lenght and keyword relevance compilant.

So, once you're satisfied with the result of the keyword process, it's time to optimize your listings. Scribbles is available from Frankestein, but you can also import your active listings.

What you get is that you do not miss any of the important words. These appear in a column on the left side of the screen, as you fill in the fields on the right (title, bullet points, description …) you are suggesting keywords. When you use it, it is crossed out in the sidebar while it shows you in a superscript how many times you have used it in any of the sections.

My favourite feature is that, once you're done, you can directly import the listing to your Seller Central with just one click.

Portals

A complete system to build landing pages, email opt-in pages and thank you pages

Portals will help you, through a visual editor, to build up those marketing campaigns and link them to your Facebook Pixels, Analytics Pixels, Custom tracking codes, create deep links…

The result will be a URL which you can customize:

• Custom URL
• SuperURL: 2 step URL using an ASIN and a Brand

The market tracker will show you critical data such as:

And you can create your custom market. The market tracker is alive, so it will add new competitor products and opportunities for your niche every week.

1. ASIN + keyword

A reinbursement tool which finds lost or damaged inventory to send emails to the FBA guys and get your reinbursement money back easily.

What you will get is a zip file containing a data folder which contains the file/s pertaining to your potentially reimbursable inventory. Each file will contain a single SKU you can send to Amazon to get your money back.

Inventory Protector

Prevents inventory hijacking setting quantity limits to every product in your catalogue so no one is buying a huge quantity of your products and breaking your stocks.

Marketplace sellers and Private label sellers often launch promotions and coupon codes and they're often blackhated by their competitors placing high quantity orders with the goal of wiping out their inventory.

You can set limits on quantities purchased on certain items on Amazon, so you can prevent inventory black hat tactics. With the inventory protector tool you can set those limits easily. Of course, you can set those limits also on Seller Central, but it is a tedious task that can be made faster using Helium 10.

Keyword Tracker

You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes, this is a tracker for your Amazon keywords. Basically introduce the keywords you want to track per ASIN and the tool will start monitoring the up's and down's on the rankings.

Helium 10 review

This is the most powerful all in one tool I've tested so far.

Sellics is a great tool, but nothing compared to Helium 10, specially when it comes to keyword researching and keyword index checking. Also, Cerebro's competitor spy has nothing to do with Sellics competition analysis. It gives you more and more useful data.

For pennies (37$ a month per feature or 97$ for all of them) you can have a great tool on your hands that will save you tons of time and, specially, lots of dollars compared to other so called all in one tools.

I would really appreciate if a repricer was on their roadmap, because that would mean that you don't need anymore tools on your computer 🙂 Oh, and the Vendor edition as well
