LIVE INVENTORY FOR SURFACES ACROSS GOOGLE
Empowering Local Businesses.
Hundreds of millions of consumers initiate shopping-related searches on Google every day. Now you can capitatlize on these “micro moments” with See What’s In Store (SWIS) across all of Google Surfaces. By activating live inventory, Google promotes your products on Google Search, Google Images, Google Shopping, Google My Business, and Google Lens.
How It Works
Google’s new feature “SWIS” lets searchers browse inventory and literally see what’s in your stores by integrating your live inventory into your Google My Business profile. It’s a robust E-Commerce site built right into Google Search at the individual store level!
Make no mistake, this program is how Google is equipping local merchants with the power to compete against and beat Amazon.

Roger - Brand Manager
With thousands of locations across the globe, Roger was eager to get his brand’s products and services directly in front of Google searchers. Setting up an e-commerce page on the company website returned less than exciting results, as the competition, Amazon and other large online retailers, were reaching his customers before he could.
When Roger discovered that dbaPlatform could upload the inventory of each individual store directly to the GMB profile he nearly spit out his coffee. Finally, his brand could capitalize on the millions of “micro moments” happening on Google every day. Customers would see his inventory right at the top of the Google results. Soon his locations reported healthy increases in foot traffic and online orders for in-store pickup.
Linda - Marketing Agency
Linda’s team at Star Media performs on-page SEO optimizations for their 15 clients. When a client approached them with information on the new e-commerce site built right into Google My Business, called See What’s In Store (SWIS), they were excited to try something new but worried about the time and energy it would take to get the inventory fully synced. They didn’t want to try SWIS alone.
Luckily for Linda, dbaPlatform had experience with thousands of retailers and hundreds of brands. The SWIS team at dbaPlatform carefully guided Star Media and its client through the simple process of verifying their inventory on Google.
A few months after activation, the client reported noticeable increases in online orders to their brick and mortar locations. Star Media spread the word about the success story and now 8 more of their clients are ready to activate SWIS.
“Level the playing field with big box stores...”
"We launched local deliveries and had an order within the first two days! The set-up was easy to follow as was the step by step process for order fulfillment. This partnership is an excellent opportunity to help us level the playing field with big box stores and online giants."

How does inventory verification with Google work?
Once we request verification, In 5-10 business days Google will reach out and schedule a date window of 2 weeks. They will request a date for you to choose that works best, and a contact person at each store location to conduct the inventory verification. Google will randomly choose 100 SKU’s at each location that will need to be verified for quantity, price, and SKU number along with a handful of photos of the merchandise. This process could take up to two hours and is only a one time thing with Google and will not require multiple verifications.
What if I do not have a merchant center account?
DBA can create one for a $100 setup fee.
