Working with Google Product Search
Google Product Search™ is a Google® service that provides an easy way for shoppers to find information about products online. Think of it as an extension of Google that searches for products.
The Google Product Search tool is available on the Google home page, and since millions of people use Google every day, chances are good that someone is looking for the products you are selling. Listing products on Google Product Search is free.
Quick Shopping Cart collects your product information and builds the product feed file. Next, it sends the feed file directly to the Google Product Search search engine through a data feed. Every time you publish your store, Quick Shopping Cart sends an undated product feed file to Google Product Search.
Working with Google Product Search
Generate a data feed from your Quick Shopping Cart product catalog with the click of a button. The Google Product Search Data Feed tool does it for you. Import your products' details from your catalog and create a data feed suitable for Google Product Search. Quick Shopping Cart handles all importing, processing, and exporting. It even strips HTML for inclusion.
