Is Google Merchant Center Worth Using?

Hi,

I'm just in the process of launching a OpenCart based site and stumbled across the Google Base Extension (now known as Google Merchant Center).

Before I go through the process of uploading my inventory I just wanted to ask if anyone had used it and got any benefit from it?

Thanks,
msj

Yes its very very good, although I would not buy it if you have heaps and heaps of time to configure something similar yourself! :laugh:

Thanks for your advice!

I'll give it a try and for anyone else that is interested, I'll update this thread at some point with my experiences of having used it.

There is no process of uploading.. Just follow this guide:

And I agree.. when I was selling tangible goods, the google base entries kept me at the top of google more than my paid inclusion did

Thanks Qphoria for all of the useful information.

It does look like a really good way of being prominently displayed in the search results, I've just set it up and am looking forward to seeing the results.

Does anyone have any results they would like to share? I see in the posts above that they were planning to try using it, just wondering if the results were postive?
