Search for a product now and the results aren't limited to organic listings on brand websites. Google Shopping results, marketplace listings on Amazon or eBay, and AI-generated shopping summaries all compete for the same buyer's attention, often ahead of your own site in the results. This service makes sure your product visibility strategy accounts for where people are actually searching, not just your own domain.
Get my free visibility auditA shopper researching a purchase might see your product in a Google Shopping result, then check reviews on Amazon, then ask ChatGPT to compare options, all before ever landing on your own site. If your product data is inconsistent or incomplete across those channels, you're not just missing opportunities on each one individually, you're also creating the kind of inconsistency (different prices, different availability, different descriptions) that undermines trust with both shoppers and the platforms surfacing you.
This service is the clearest expression of the "fractured search" positioning: it's not paid ads management (which isn't offered) and it's not a separate marketplace consultancy. It's making sure the same core SEO and content foundation, the accurate structured data, the well-researched product copy, extends consistently to the other places search for your products actually happens. The keyword research and content work done for your own site directly informs what should appear in your Merchant Center feed and marketplace listings, rather than starting from scratch for each channel.
No. Paid ads management isn't part of this service; the focus is on the underlying product feed data and organic Shopping visibility, which also happens to be the foundation any paid campaign would need anyway. If you run Shopping ads separately, this work supports that by improving feed quality, but doesn't manage bidding or ad spend.
A large part of it, specifically Merchant Center feed optimisation, is relevant to almost any ecommerce brand since it affects Google Shopping visibility and AI Overview sourcing regardless of whether you sell on third-party marketplaces. The marketplace-specific listing work only applies if you're actually selling through those channels.
Done consistently, it should only help, since aligned keyword targeting and product information across channels reinforces the same topical relevance rather than competing with itself. The risk to watch for is duplicate content between your own site and marketplace listings, which is a minor consideration compared to the visibility gained from getting the marketplace presence right.
It depends on the product category and margins involved, and this is genuinely assessed rather than assumed. Some high-ticket or niche categories see limited benefit from marketplace presence and are better served focusing hours on the owned site; others see meaningful additional demand from marketplace visibility that owned-site SEO alone wouldn't capture.
This usually depends on your existing systems, whether inventory and pricing sync automatically through a feed management tool or platform integration, or whether it's updated manually. Part of the initial review is understanding what's currently automated versus manual, since manual multichannel updates are the most common source of the inconsistencies that cause problems.
It's typically a smaller, ongoing piece rather than the main focus, since most brands' core visibility opportunity is still on their own site. How much time it gets depends on how much of your revenue actually comes through Shopping and marketplace channels, which is discussed honestly rather than assumed to need equal weight to the core SEO work.
A free visibility audit covers all of this, and shows exactly what's worth fixing first for your store.
