Key takeaways
Merchants must go beyond Google and Facebook, exploring 2000+ potential advertising channels globally to maximize reach.
Optimizing product titles by enriching them with keywords like brand, type, color, and size significantly improves impression share, click-through rates, and conversion rates, especially for long-tail searches.
Utilize data feed management tools to automatically extract and populate missing data fields (e.g., color, size from descriptions) to meet channel-specific requirements and prevent product disapprovals.
