Gbase Manager automatically uploads information to Google Base and is an effective and efficient method for small businesses to keep their information in front of Internet shoppers...

Why do I need to upload to Google Base?

Google is the leading search engine used by people searching the internet.  This means that when someone is looking to buy a product or find a service, most often the first place they go is Google.   By uploading your information to Google Base, you make your products easier to find and easier to buy.  Your information will be in Google Base and may also end up in Google, Froogle, and Google Maps, but Google does not guarantee where your information will be made available to Internet searchers.  However, working with Gbase Manager on your initial setup can help increase your chances of having your information show up in multiple Google arenas.  In addition to driving a customer to your website, you can make your products available for purchase right on Google Base.  The Google Checkout feature is a great option for businesses that do not have an existing shopping cart or other method of purchase on the Internet. 

How Much Does Google Base cost?

There is no charge for you to upload your own information into Google Base.  However, effective use of Google Base requires correct attribute definition and format so potential searchers can find your information.  More importantly, most information provided to Google Base expires so your information must be uploaded on a continuing basis.

What can I upload to Google Base?

Almost anything can be posted to Google Base, even information  you do not have on a website.  Exceptions are those items identified by Google's program policies and editorial guidelines.  Gbase manager keeps up to date on Google's policies and will flag your information when it does not meet their posting criteria.

How do I upload to Google Base?

Individual items can be uploaded using Google Base's web form.  If you have ten or more items, you can bulk upload this information.  If you have hundreds of items you would like to upload, we recommend using one of our Gbase Manager plans.  The services provided by Gbase Manager make the Google Base data identification and submission process easier.  An affordable one-time setup fee and several cost-effective plans from which to select make Gbase Manager the perfect option for small businesses that want an easy way to help people find them on the Internet.

How often do I need to upload to Google Base?

Google Base recommends uploading your information any time you add new items, items are deleted, or items become outdated.  Most items will expire every 30 days, so at a minimum you must upload once a month to keep your information active.  Some items expire sooner than 30 days, including things like  housing, job postings, and other time sensitive items..  You can bulk upload as often as once a day. Gbase Manager keeps up to date on expiration dates and will notify you if expiration dates change and your current Gbase Manager plan does not support the new expiration dates.
