Google unveils openly accessible Merch Intel dashboard as a public resource
Google has recently released an innovative tool called Merch Intel, an open-source dashboard designed to help retailers analyse market insights from Google Merchant Center data. This dashboard, available globally through GitHub repository installation on Google Cloud Platform, aims to bridge the gap between advertising optimization and business strategy for performance marketers.
Merch Intel operates as a Looker Studio integration that requires connection to Google Cloud Platform services. The system is limited to insights from products and competitors active in Google Shopping, providing a focused approach to competitive intelligence.
The dashboard consolidates pricing intelligence and competitive analysis into a single interface, offering five distinct analytical perspectives. These perspectives include the Best Sellers Overview, which reveals top-performing products by category or brand across Google's ecosystem, and the Price Benchmark view, allowing retailers to compare their product pricing against market standards.
One of the key features of Merch Intel is the Price Suggestion component, which offers AI-generated pricing recommendations with estimated performance improvements. This feature can help merchants make informed decisions about their pricing strategies.
Merch Intel also identifies expansion opportunities based on trending products and high-demand out-of-stock items with sales potential. Additionally, the system's bestseller identification capabilities can inform purchasing decisions, marketing campaign focus, and product development priorities.
The dashboard's filtering capabilities for disapproved products in the Price Suggestion component provide retailers with valuable insights into why certain products may not be performing well, allowing them to adjust their strategies accordingly.
The open-source nature of Merch Intel enables customization for specific business needs, though modifications require technical expertise in Looker Studio development and BigQuery management. It's important to note that specific merchants using Google Marketing Solutions' Merch Intel dashboard to analyse market insights from Google Merchant Center data are not publicly listed in the available sources.
In conclusion, Merch Intel provides retailers using Google Merchant Center and Google Ads platforms with a powerful tool for gaining actionable insights into their market. By focusing on practical guidance for business decisions rather than raw data, Merch Intel aims to help retailers make informed decisions and stay competitive in the ever-evolving e-commerce landscape.
