NEW ! Adding products has just become easier thanks to Artificial Intelligence.
We have integrated artificial intelligence to facilitate the adding of new products. Simply copy and paste the product page link from your website and let the AI take care of the rest. Your product’s definition, images, descriptions and technical characteristics will appear several hours later complete with translations in 9 languages !
***NB: This a BETA version of the new interface – where indicated, some functionalities are not yet available. Please use the “Request a change” button in the top right when necessary ***
Access the Product Interface
To access the product updating interface, select the “Products” tab from the “My Stand” menu :
Organizing Product Lines and Individual Products
Your products are grouped into lines with similar attributes or applications. Click on a product line to display the products within it or click “Add a product line” to create a new line.
Drag and drop product lines to change the order in which they appear on your company stand :
Click “Arrange products” to order products in a product line. Simply drag and drop the product or use the arrow buttons. Products highest up the list are prioritized in the search results over similar products lower down.
Adding Products : Just Paste in the Link!
You can add up to 300 products on your company stand. Each product must be a distinct model with unique technical characteristics (for custom-built products, contact your technical manager).
To add a product, select its product line and click “Add Product”. In the pop-in, paste the URLs (links) of the product page on your website for each available language. The more URLs you provide, the better. Click “Add product” at the bottom of the pop-in. Your product will appear several hours later in 9 languages with a keyword definition, description, technical characteristics, images and video (if available).
Modifying Products
To modify a product, click on the product within the product line to open the product editor. The product editor is organized in the same way as your company stand. Each section contains buttons or fields to add or modify the particular element : images, video, technical characteristics, description, link or model.
***NB: during the current BETA version of the interface it is not possible to modify descriptions, prices and product links via the interface. Please use the “Request a change” button in the top right.***
Modifying Keywords and Technical Characteristics
The “Add / edit characteristic” button lets you modify the product’s keywords and technical characteristics and specifications. Keywords are pre-translated based on tried and tested terms that optimize SEO performance. It is strongly recommended that you use them – it takes up to 3 months for new definitions to develop their SEO potential.
Click “Add/edit charactristics” and run a search by the product type – e.g. “tractor”. Select the most appropriate keyword definition from the list or use the search engine provided.
After selecting a keyword definition, an array of characteristics and technical specifications will appear below. Mandatory elements are indicated by an asterisk.
Fill in the relevant fields and validate to close the pop-in (if it does not close scroll up – a mandatory field will be highlighted in red)
If you cannot find the right keyword definition, suggest one using the “Another Proposal” option at the end of the list (this will take up to 5 working days to be moderated and translated).
Modifying the Model
The “Model” field is reserved for the product name or number and will not be translated. You can edit it directly in the model field :
Modifying Descriptions
AI provides faithfully reformulated versions of the original descriptions to avoid duplication of content. These are optimized and reformatted for maximum clarity, before being translated into any of the 9 remaining languages. Click the flags to see the translations:
***NB: during the BETA version of the interface it is not possible to directly modify the AI created descriptions – please use the “Request a change” button in the top right.***
Modifying Images
You can upload up to 50 images per product. Product images must be:
- in JPG, GIF, PNG, TIF or BMP format
- at least 600 pixels wide or high (square images recommended)
- of professional quality with no inset graphics or overlay text (white background recommended)
Click on the product in the product line and hover over the main product image to show the “Manage images” button and click.
In the image pop-in, delete images or drag and drop them to change the order – the first image on the left will be the main image that visitors see in the search engine. The other images will appear in in a carousel below the main image.
Click “Upload images“. Add images from your hard drive or by url – wait for thumbnails of the uploaded images to appear in the pop-in – then click “Confirm changes“
If the main image is rectangular you will be prompted to crop into a square so it appears correctly in the search results.
Adding Videos
Upload a product demonstration video in AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, MP4 or M4V (1 GB max).
Adding Indicative Pricing
**NB: during the Beta version of the interface it is not possible to modify or add prices : please use the “Request a change” button in the top right.**
Showing prices is increasingly important for SEO, attracting qualified visitors to your stand and generating high potential sales leads. Price are automatically converted into 11 different curriencies depending on the langauge of the visitor. Prices on the english langauge version of the marketplace are shown in US dollars. You can add different types of prices depending on your needs :
- Indicative prices
- Starting from prices
- Price ranges
- Fixed sale prices for e-commerce (to sell on our SHOP, please contact your account manager)
- Prices per unit (piece) or per measure (Kg, M, etc.).”
