Google Integration Boot Camp Series

June 8th, 2009

Your Auctiva Commerce store features a variety of Google integrations that you should consider enabling to help drive buyer traffic to your store. The Google Integration Boot Camp Series is just the foundation to a variety of tasks we’ll be encouraging you to complete this week. Completing this Boot Camp will be a critical milestone for you to move onto the more exciting topics we’ll be exploring on this blog.

This series is developed to do two very important things that will help you manage a successful store. The first thing we’ll want to do is enable Google Analytics to start tracking buyer traffic to your store. Then, we’ll establish a connection with Google’s product search so that you’ll start receiving buyer traffic to your store. In other words, it’s go time!

We recommend you follow the order to each of these items, unless you’re not ready to receive buyer traffic. If you’re still setting up your store, hold off on the Google Base Setup (Item #4 in the list below) until your store is ready to launch.

Let’s Get Google Integrated

Each day we’ll publish a new article in this series. We’ll update this post with links to each new article we release. Feel free to bookmark this and return to it each day or just follow our RSS feed to get the latest updates from us as they happen.

  1. Google Analytics Setup
  2. Webmaster Tools Setup
  3. SiteMap & Domain Submission
  4. Google Base Setup

Make sure to set aside some time to complete these integrations this week. We estimate that you won’t need more than an hour to complete all four of these integrations. Let us know if there’s something we can help you with and leave a comment on this post.

We Need Your Input!

We realize that many store owners have already integrated their store with Google’s various web tools. We hope to get to more advanced subjects as soon as possible. We’re still in the planning stages and we’d greatly appreciate your input on the topics of SEO, Google Analytics, Store Traffic, Conversion, Store Design, etc. Leave us a comment below and tell us what you’d like to see.
