The heatmap is the most-screenshotted part of the product, and also the most misunderstood. So let me take the mystery out of it.

Rows are buyer signals; columns are you vs your rivals.

Where the numbers come from

Every cell is an average of how a category-true panel of AI shoppers reacted to your assets on that one dimension. We don't ask them to rate abstractly — they compare your listing against the rivals in front of them.

  • Each shopper is briefed with the fears specific to your category.
  • They score you and both rivals on the same signal, side by side.
  • We average the panel, so no single opinion swings the result.
Why a panel beats a single model reply

One model reply is a guess. A panel gives you a distribution — and the disagreement between shoppers is itself a signal about how polarizing your listing is.

Reading it in ten seconds

Scan for the reddest row where a rival is green. That's your highest-leverage fix — the place a competitor is quietly taking the click.

Budget-first parent
Liked your price but bounced on unclear size.
Gift buyer
Chose the rival — its lifestyle photo felt more giftable.
Repeat category buyer
Trusted the rival's warranty badge over yours.
Value hunter
Picked you on value for money — the one clear win.
Behind each column: the individual shopper verdicts that formed the score.

Cutting bids to chase a lower ACoS is the most common PPC trap of the year. Here's why it quietly raises your TACoS — and the one lever that actually moves it.

From persona to verdict: scoring a listing the way your buyer would

Most audits grade a listing against a checklist. We grade it against the person who actually decides — and that one shift changes what you fix first.
