THE IMPORTANT AREAS
Quality
The feed should have a full set of attributes
and be continuously optimised towards
channel specific best practices.
Governance
Regular auditing for disapprovals should be completed.
Alerts can be set up to flag future issues and you can
stop pushing data automatically if it doesn’t meet your
standards.
©2020 NMPi. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Consistency
The feed should be updated ideally
through API integration. Or at least
as often as the site updates.
