Effective product match user guide

There are several ways to perform a user-side product match.

• The most effective is the mass import of the links found using the template for upload. This method is good for a large volume of matched links.
• However, if you need to product match some items, you can use the search from the dashboard settings.

The fastest way is to perform the product match through the Competera interface in the match section of the product card.

To quickly find the essential product through the search engines, you can use the Google search buttons. Click on them, and you will automatically proceed to a search page of the product.
Usually, if the product found, you will see it in the search result. As soon as that happened, click on the link, make sure it is the result you need, copy its URL and paste it into an empty field next to your product.

Website search

If you did not find the product in Google or Yandex (that sometimes happens with new products), try to use the site search. We recommend trying with different name options.

Product not found

In case you didn’t find the product on the website, select “Not found” tag under URL field.
