Google Shopping Competitor Price Monitoring

Google Shopping is where a large share of price comparison happens, and it happens before the shopper reaches your site. Price Trakker tracks the merchants publicly appearing against your products, records the prices shown so you can compare your price with the merchants recorded in the same capture. The merchant comparison set is the list of merchants Google shows against a given product; monitoring records which merchants appear against each tracked product and the price each of them shows, on the agreed schedule. Each capture records the merchants shown alongside your product and the price each of them displayed, so you can compare your own price with that recorded set over time. Google Shopping monitoring differs from marketplace monitoring: Google Shopping shows merchants competing across their own websites, while a marketplace shows sellers competing inside one listing on one platform. This is not a consumer price comparison app or a personal price tracker; it is a business monitoring service for retailers and brands. Monitoring reads publicly visible Shopping results, so it works whether or not we have access to your feed. FAQ. Can you monitor competitor prices on Google Shopping? Yes, including the merchants shown and the prices they display, so your own price can be compared with that recorded set. Which merchants are recorded? Those publicly appearing against each tracked product on the agreed schedule. How is this different from a price comparison website? A comparison site helps a shopper find a cheaper price once; this records what the comparison looked like for your products over time.
