Over the past decade, Comparison Shopping Engines have sprung up everywhere making it easy for shoppers to view a range of products from countless retailers all on one site.
CSEs provide potential customers with pricing details of similar products, helping them in their purchasing decision.
Shoppers can evaluate multiple products at the same time, something that retailers must take advantage of to expand their brand’s reach and get more traffic and sales.
There are some great resources out there, where merchants can evaluate which Comparison Shopping Engines are better to list on in the US. But the European scene is a little more fragmented.
Here are some of the best comparison shopping engines in the European market to consider when looking to expand your product’s reach and get more shoppers.
Le Guide Group
Le Guide Group attracts a large amount of traffic across 14 countries in Europe through its vast network of sites that include: Le guide, Ciao, Dooyoo, Pricesavvy, Choozen, and Pikengo. One thing that sets Le Guide apart from other comparison shopping engines, is their ability to offer a free listing option on some of their sites in addition to the usual CPC or CPA charge for listing on others.
