What is CSS?

CSS (short for Comparison Shopping Service) is a price comparison portal which your products are listed on. With 812 retailers and over 50 million products, Smarketer.Shopping is one of the largest price comparison portals in Europe. Google Shopping is also such a platform and charges a service fee of 20% per click price.

Your advantage with CSS Partner Smarketer.Shopping

With Smarketer, this margin does not apply. Your products appear on Google Shopping, in Google Search, and also in the large price comparison portal from Smarketer.

This is how switching over to CSS works for you

Switching over to our CSS portal is easy. Instead of having your Merchant Center (MC) with/under Google, we transfer it to a Multiple Merchant Center (MMC) from Smarketer.Shopping. Aside from the increased performance of your shopping ads, nothing will change for you.

For you, this means: You save the Google margin, which means that your bids are automatically worth 20% more, and you benefit directly from a better placement in Google Shopping.

Ad presence is doubled

Combine the shopping services of Smarketer and Google Shopping

Place two Shopping ads at the same time

To further increase ad presence, there is the so-called “double listing”. This is an option if, in addition to your Merchant Center, you continue to run your existing Merchant Center via Google Shopping with us as a CSS partner. This way, both Merchant Centers can place your ads at the same time. To prevent your ads from competing with each other, a user will never see the same ad twice in a search. Our Smarketer CSS specialists look forward to discussing the best strategy for your company with you.
