Nowadays, sellers are trying their hands at various strategies to attract more and more customers to their online shops. Because of this, the competition has been growing insanely over the last couple of years. There are various useful ways to increase customer traffic for any e-commerce business. Picked from the top of the list, the merchants are shifting towards multi-channel selling. In this effective selling method, online retailers sell the same goods through various selling channels. And if we talk about selling, there is no better option than selling on the marketplaces, for example, eBay or Etsy. Especially on Google Shopping, the number of online retailers has grown rapidly over the last 3 years. The reason behind the same is the sellers’ policy launched by Google. But there is a difference between Google Shopping Marketplace and the other e-commerce marketplaces.

For example, the most commonly used selling channels by online retailers are the major marketplaces like Alibaba, Google Shopping, eBay, Etsy, Amazon, etc. It seems fair in business, as every retailer wishes to sell his goods in as many places as he can afford.

How is Google Shopping Different from Other Marketplaces?

The concept behind Google Shopping is different from the other mammoth marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, etc. When I take out the major difference on the table, the outcomes are as on Google Shopping. The merchants can list their products on Google, but when the users click on the product, they will be redirected to the website where the product is listed.

On the other hand, the other marketplaces allow online vendors to list their actual products on the platforms where the platform will be managing the selling and delivery process of the products.

Considering the second difference, the other marketplaces charge per-sale commission along with annual subscription charges, whereas, on the other hand, Google offers online retailers the opportunity to list their products at zero cost on the merchant center.

What is Google’s free listing policy?

The number of eCommerce vendors listing their businesses on Google has recently increased. There are various reasons behind it. Along with the other beneficial reasons, one of the strongest reasons is Google’s free seller policy.

According to the policy, the sellers can list their legitimate businesses on Google at zero cost. However, if the vendors want to promote their products on Google using Ads assistance or any other campaign, the merchants can easily promote their products by paying very nominal charges.

What are the benefits of using UTM parameters?

As selling is an important aspect of business, keeping an eye on the customer’s behavior and their interest in the products also comes under the must-have list. The UTM parameters add value to any eCommerce business by recording customers’ activities based on their interests.

The UTM parameters allow the merchants to have a look at the proper activities like how much time users are spending on a particular page, total customer visits, page abandonment rate, and much more.
