FAQs
If I add my own brands in, will we still see brands pull through from AIQ's global brand database?
Yes, you will still see brands from our global database only if we do not find a match in your organization's brand database. If you wish to override our global brand details, simply upload one in your brand database.
What's the benefit of using the brand databases?
There are many benefits for using the brand databases including giving your customers information about brands to help drive purchase decisions and giving bots (Google, AI, etc) more information to crawl.
