We are delighted to announce our new data enrichment practice based on Google’s ZMOT (Zero Moment of Truth) concept. Our blog (https://unilogcorp.com/blog/shopping-in-the-digital-age-and-zmot) on ZMOT explains how it can be a game changer and offer a superior digital shopping experience for your customers.
This practice involves reworking the manufacturer descriptions and creating web-friendly features and information which is likely to have a huge impact on search engine results. The fresh content / description are proving to be the best way to win sales from search. Gone are the days when your customer used to browse your catalog and call your sales reps or distributor. Now they just search for the required product in Google. They read various reviews; compare products and prices before taking the decision to buy a product. This moment where the customer begins to form impression about a product or a service is what Google terms as a ZMOT (Zero Moment of Truth).
To attract more customers you have set up your online storefront and what’s next? You need to optimize your content so that customers can find you and any information they are looking for is made available to them.
Our ZMOT services exactly do this. We classify the products using proper taxonomy so that it will be easy for the customer to drill down to the required product easily. Then by preparing proper title and description for the product we make sure that the information is super-relevant to the customers searching for it.
Case in point

Solution
To begin with, Unilog augmented product content on the customer’s eCommerce site by gathering accurate information from external sources such as suppliers and the manufacturers.
As a next step we classified the product data to make content search more functional.
