      Automated Shopping Data Feeds

      Typically, shopping feeds are manually updated every time a product attribute is modified such as, price, color, description, etc.  There is a more effective alternative to the cumbersome task of manual importing, that’s the good news.  WSM has developed a shopping feed solution that will automatically create, manage and upload nightly the most current product listings via a customized data feed to Comparison Shopping site Google Product Search.  Taking advantage of automated free shopping data feeds will allow you to:

      • Increase visibility in organic search results that include Shopping Results
      • Capitalize on huge volumes of daily site visitors
      • Maintain up-to-date product listings
      • Save time and resources that would otherwise be spent on manual updating

      By the time your site goes live you will automatically be set up with a data feed for TheFind and Google Shopping.
