Similarweb Unveils Retail Intelligence Suite for E-commerce Insights
Similarweb has launched a Retail Intelligence suite that unifies its Amazon IQ product (formerly Similarweb Shopper Intelligence) with a new Cross-Retail IQ covering 650+ online stores and marketplaces. The suite adds digital shelf analytics for product mix, availability and pricing across retailers, on-site search keyword optimization, and optional digital-shelf automation for dynamic repricing and buy-box management. Similarweb says the product combines shopper behavioral data with digital-shelf and pricing signals to help brands and retailers improve product discovery, assortment, pricing and retail media investment decisions. The company highlights the importance of these capabilities amid growing retail media, marketplace fragmentation and emerging agent-driven commerce models such as the Universal Commerce Protocol.
A MarTech product launch that expands retail analytics and automation across 650+ retailers, affecting retail media, pricing and assortment strategies for brands and retailers—useful but not industry-shifting.

NIQ and Similarweb build AI shopping measurement system
NIQ and Similarweb are developing a measurement system to connect product discovery via AI assistants with website traffic, conversions, and sales. The first version is planned for Q4 2026 and will initially cover a limited set of product categories and markets. The system will track shopping journeys that begin in generative AI services such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, and Claude, including cases where AI recommendations lead to visits through other channels. It will combine NIQ's product, consumer behavior, and retail sales data with Similarweb's digital data on AI platform activity and referral traffic. The companies also aim to assess product content readiness for AI representation and brand visibility in AI-generated recommendations. This initiative addresses the growing gap between AI platform usage and measurable referral traffic, as highlighted by Similarweb and Adobe research.
