IDEA Launches New Service for Auditing Content on Websites

Improve Visibility with Automated Product Page Auditing, Scoring and Monitoring

Arlington, VA—The Industry Data Exchange Association, Inc. (IDEA), a leading product data provider, announces a new service, IDEA Insight, powered by Content Status, a fully-automated auditing solution that validates product content, completeness, accuracy, and site-search optimization.

Subscribing distributors and manufacturers gain immediate product content visibility online for improved product page analytics, content scoring, and competitive intelligence. 

Improving the Buying Experience

Digital product content is at the epicenter of the online buying experience: 87% of online buyers say product page content is very important or critical to their ultimate purchase decision. 

Manufacturers need to know if their product pages are live, complete, accurate and optimized on their trading partners’ websites. Likewise, distributors need instant content visibility, insights, and guidance to deliver an excellent buying experience to end-users. 

IDEA Insight provides product page visibility and content guidance. This addresses critical product content challenges and identifies opportunities to improve basic quality standards on website product pages. 

“IDEA is committed to making it easier for businesses to share data. Viewing product data in use on e-commerce websites is an important part of data syndication and data standards. Whether it’s auditing your own product content or benchmarking with competitors, IDEA Insight enables customers to more easily target areas for greater sales and improvement.”

—David Oldfather, President of IDEA
