Using a tool that offers product content optimization software, you can merge together multiple data sources, analyze the quality, structure and standardize your ecommerce data feed content, and export it as a single, high-quality master feed, tailored to your chosen channels.

For example, you don't want to list one set of products on PriceRunner which states one thing, and simultaneously run Google Shopping Product Listing Ads which state something completely different. This is a surefire way to lose any potential sales and negatively impact your brand image.
