Edgenet Named As Product Information Partner For Google Manufacturer Center

Edgenet and Google Partner to Enhance the E-Commerce Experience

Partnership Spawns New Edgenet Product: Products to Google (P2G)


Nashville, Tenn., USA – WEBWIRE

Google and Edgenet have partnered to make it much easier for brands and manufacturers to influence their product presence, help consumers find the product they are looking for and sell their products online.
 
Realizing that accurate product data is critical to shopping online, Google launched Google Manufacturer Center, which enables manufacturers to upload authoritative and detailed product content, which improves the performance of ads as well as the visual display across Google. In the past, this information was largely provided by retailers, who may not always have the best quality or most complete product data. By using Manufacturer Center, brands and manufacturers directly influence how their products are represented in Google Shopping search results.
 
Because Edgenet is a leading Software-as-a-Service company that enables companies to better manage product data, and because it already manages one of the largest caches of product data in the world, it is perfectly situated to help global manufacturers make the most of Manufacturer Center.  Therefore, it has created a new product to facilitate this.  Called Products to Google (P2G), Edgenet’s new product enables manufacturers to automatically send rich product data to Manufacturer Center.
 
“We are excited to work with Edgenet,” said Brad Layous, Google Strategic Partnerships. “They have an outstanding reputation for providing high quality product data and they have worked closely with us on this very important project.”
 
“Edgenet has been curating product data for over a decade. The world’s top manufacturers, retailers and suppliers already have their product data in our network,” said Steve Proctor, Edgenet’s Chief Executive Officer. “By using P2G, they gain quick access to the world’s largest search and shopping engine. We publish it automatically, and make sure it is optimized for Google’s needs. The more product attributes you have listed, the more likely it is your product shows up in a search. So, manufacturers who use P2G and Manufacturer Center are likely to stand out in a crowded marketplace.”
 
Rich product data is key to sales and a positive brand experience. Plus, manufacturers who use Manufacturer Center have access to powerful analytics. “They can get total impressions, click through rates, and category comparison benchmarks,” Proctor said. “This is an extremely powerful, new capability for manufacturers. It is also a potential game changer for Edgenet, because it allows our customers to better measure ROI on product data.”
