- temu.com seems to be the dominant player for this search term. They have consistently high visibility and might be a good benchmark for your own strategy.
- shein.co.uk and amazon.co.uk are also worth keeping an eye on. They show consistent presence, though not as strong as temu.com.
- It’s interesting to note that other fashion retailers, like asos.com, zara.com, and simplybe.co.uk show a much lower share of voice.
“So Ask Arlo, what’s Temu’s secret? What’s their average price point for keyword cowboy boots?”

One explanation could be product price.
When analysing the shopping ads for temu.com to understand the average price point for keyword cowboy boots, we see that Temu are showing a range of products:

- Lower-priced options: Many items are priced very competitively, ranging from £3.99 to £19.99. This likely appeals to bargain hunters and those looking for trendy, affordable fashion.
- Higher-priced “cowboy boots”: There are a few ads specifically for “cowboy boots” with prices ranging from £13.15 to £42.97. This indicates Temu.com caters to various budgets and styles within the “cowboy boot” market.
It’s worth noting that the average position of many of these ads is around 10-15, which means they may not always be appearing at the very top of search results. To improve visibility and click-through rates, Temu.com might consider refining their bidding strategy or targeting more specific keywords for those higher-priced “cowboy boots.”
UK Festival Season
The UK festival Season is in full flow, with Glastonbury, Download and Wireless just a few of those on this summer schedule.
Summer showers can easily dampen spirits! While Wireless might be rocking the scene, British weather is more like a temperamental rockstar. That’s why a waterproof jacket is the summer must-have.
Let’s Ask Arlo to dive into the competitive landscape for the search term “waterproof jacket”.

“Ask Arlo, looking at images used in shopping ads for me vs my top competitors in term “berlin hotel”, what are the key differences? What kind of images are the top-performing competitors using?”
