Solution Providers and Alternatives for Management of Shopping Comparison Engines and Marketplaces
Getting back on topic for a few minutes, I wanted to put together a quick list of companies who specialize in helping merchants to manage and optimize shopping comparison engines aka CSEs, and other marketplaces. Several companies offer this as an additional service, but I have not seen a specific list out there of firms who specialize in this, so I thought this would help.
Going alphabetically:
ChannelAdvisor : Provides self service tool and full service marketing and account management. Several options available. Based in Morrisville, NC.
ChannelIntelligence : Provides self service tool and full service marketing and account management. Several options available. Based in Celebration, FL.
Mercent : Provides self service tool and full service marketing, agency and account management. Several options available. Based in Seattle, WA.
MerchantAdvanatage : Provides self service tool. Based in Miami, FL.
SingleFeed : Provides self service tool. Based out of Silicon Valley.
If I missed anyone, or if anyone would like to leave comments to provide more options and information, please feel free to do so.
All of these solutions differ in places and I would encourage anyone considering these to investigate details such as average returns, supported engines, details on analytics and tracking, additional options or add ons, and costumer references.
Hope this helps for companies looking for solution providers in the growing space of e-commerce management and marketing services.
