What's new in the world of ecommerce data

Meta Keyword and Meta Description Search

Meta keywords and meta description tags are used to describe the content of a page to search engines. When we crawl a store, we capture the meta keywords and meta description tags from the store's home page. These values are used to improve our own search results. When you search for a store in Store Leads, the query matches against a variety of fields including the name of the domain, the name of the merchant, the meta keyword and description fields and others.

Failed Webhooks Support Failure Notification Emails

Webhook notifications for workflows can now be configured with a failure notification email(s). Webhook Action. When the webhook cannot be delivered to the target URL, an email will be sent to the provided email(s) describing the reason for the delivery failure. This typically only happens when the target URL times out or returns a HTTP response with a status code greater than HTTP 200. In the past, webhook delivery failures were silent.

Watches are now Workflows

Our Watch feature allowed you to configure email and webhook notifications for stores that had an App or Technology installed - or stores that matched any search. If you had a CRM integration enabled, Watches also allowed you to automatically created new CRM records for stores matching any custom criteria. We're making Watches more powerful and, as part of that change, we've renamed them to Workflows. Over the coming weeks, we'll be adding a lot of conditional behavior (for instance, if a store matches a search and already exists in HubSpot, then set a custom company property to an arbitrary value) and the new name better represents that functionality.

Chrome extension on social media accounts

The Store Leads Chrome Extension shows relevant information from the Store Leads database when visiting any ecommerce website. The Chrome Extension also shows information out of your CRM (e.g., Salesforce) for any sites that you visit in the browser. We've just extended this functionality to work when looking at the social media account for stores in our database. Now, when you're looking at the Instagram account for Gymshark, or the TikTok account for boohoo, the Chrome Extension will show you relevant data for the brand's ecommerce website.

Finding Stores With Multiple Domains

Merchants sometimes run stores on multiple domains. This is often done when the merchant offers a country-specific store on each domain. For instance, au.merchant.com may serve the Australian market, while merchant.co.uk sells products to UK customers and merchant.com serves the US or the rest of the world. If a merchant has multiple domains, then it could be a sign that they are more estalished and successful than a merchant with a single domain.
