What is Amazon Share of Voice and Why Is It Important? 

Understanding Amazon Share of Voice 

In the competitive world of Amazon selling, visibility is everything. But how do you measure your brand’s presence compared to competitors? This is where Amazon Share of Voice (SOV) comes in. 

Amazon Share of Voice measures how often your brand or product appears in search results, sponsored placements, and other key locations on Amazon relative to the competition. 

At Helium 10, we believe in empowering brands and sellers with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed. Understanding Share of Voice is just one of the many ways you can make data-driven decisions to optimize your business strategy. 

Why is Amazon Share of Voice Important? 

Your Share of Voice directly correlates with your brand’s market dominance and advertising effectiveness. A higher Share of Voice means your products are appearing more frequently, leading to increased impressions, higher traffic, and ultimately, more sales. 

Monitoring your Share of Voice allows you to: 

• Identify market opportunities and threats 

• Optimize your ad campaigns for maximum visibility 

• Track competitor performance and adjust strategies accordingly 

• Increase brand awareness and establish authority in your niche 

How to Calculate Share of Voice on Amazon 

The calculation for Amazon Share of Voice varies based on the metric you are analyzing. The most common formula is: 

SOV (%) = (Your brand’s appearances in search results / Total appearances in search results) x 100 

This can be broken down into different segments: 

• Organic Share of Voice: The percentage of times your product appears in organic search results. 

• Sponsored Share of Voice: The percentage of times your ad appears in sponsored placements. 

• Category Share of Voice: Your product’s presence in a specific category compared to competitors. 

With Helium 10’s Share of Voice tool, sellers can easily track their presence and compare performance across multiple ASINs and keywords.
