Channel Intelligence (CI), the leader of performance marketing services for retailers, manufacturers and other advertisers, today announced that its clients are experiencing significant growth with Google Product Search despite recent talk within the retail community about dramatic declines in traffic and sales. While other retailers have reported declines of 60% or more in June, CI clients had a 10% increase in traffic over May and a 27% increase in sales.
As Google tests new ways to improve its natural and paid search programs, the traffic and sales from Google Product Search are often affected. CI has been able to take advantage of these changes through continuous testing of techniques for optimizing product content for its clients. In addition, CI has marketing experts that are constantly monitoring and analyzing these results for individual clients and across the entire industry using CI’s advanced analytics. This combination of data technology and marketing expertise has results in consistent growth in this marketing channel.
Instawares, IR. No. 248, has enjoyed the benefits of listing its products on Google Product Search through CI. In fact, over the past year, Google Product Search has been responsible for 9.4 percent of Instawares’ site traffic. Bruce Brown, CEO of Instawares adds, “With CI’s help Google has been a high performing sales channel for us. Comparing the first half of this year to the first half of last year, traffic from Google Product Search was up 42 percent and sales up 21 percent.”
Rob Wight CEO of Channel Intelligence further adds, “Ultimately, success with Google Product Search results from highly optimized product content that allows consumers to find the products they want to purchase. Since the beginning, we have been focused on improving our client’s data through our patented optimization technology, providing better results than the do-it-yourself approaches offered by other providers.”
