REASONS WHY YOUR DATA NEEDS TO BE optimized
// Be The Authority For Your Product Data 100% AUTHENTIC
The product data found in most search results is out of the manufacturer’s control. That’s because most manufacturers aren’t the source for their own product data. Instead, search engines gather product information from retail product feeds and by scraping the web. By providing a direct feed to distributors, retailers, and the world’s largest search engines, Ezeedata Optimization makes manufacturers the authority for their own product data.
// Offer An Elite Shopping Experience DATA
Consumers and search engines have begun to demand more – more images, more product details and more marketing copy. Consumers are more likely to reward an elite shopping experience with a purchase, and search engines reward better product data with better rankings. Ezeedata Optimization enriches your data so that you can reap those rewards.
// Deliver over 1000% More Product Details To Consumers
What product attributes are most important to your shoppers? In a global economy, it’s difficult to know your shoppers, let alone what’s valuable to each of them. That’s why delivering more product attributes is a fundamental part of product data optimization for distributors, retailers and search engines. Ezeedata Optimization will enrich your data to supply over 50 different attributes to the PIDB – over 1000% more – for even better product visibility.
// Rich Product Data Fuels Sales
Manufacturers are looking for every advantage to get their product to the launching pad and into the sales stratosphere. When Ezeedata Optimization enriches and improves your product data, you will receive competitive advantages through the PIDB, Google and Bing – fuel for increased tracking, clicks and sales.

“I KNOW MY CUSTOMERS, AND THEY DON’T USE SEARCH ENGINES” The Internet has changed the way shoppers think. While purchases themselves may still occur in a brick and mortar store, the shopping experience is transitioning to the Internet. A February 2012 study indicates that 89 percent of shoppers turn to Google, Bing or another search engine to find information on products, services or businesses prior to making a purchase. Other studies show that even while shopping in a brick and mortar store, a growing number of consumers are shopping on their phone or mobile device. The Internet also exposes products to shoppers all across the world who may value certain specific product details over American shoppers. Make sure you deliver complete, structured data to Google and Bing to tap every possible opportunity for revenue.
