Sync Your Publisher Inventory with SearchEye (Google Sheets)

SearchEye now supports inventory sync for publishers and publishing partners (including resellers) via Google Sheets. Once connected, your sheet becomes the source of truth—updates you make in the sheet will automatically reflect in SearchEye.

• Always up to date: Your inventory stays accurate in SearchEye.

• No manual uploads: Removes hours of repetitive updating and re-uploading.

• Add/remove publications easily: SearchEye syncs new rows and changes as you go.

• Better fulfillment rates: Up-to-date inventory reduces failed orders and delays.

• More passive income: Less admin work, more time earning.

• More inventory = more orders: Clean, current listings convert better.

• Sync rich details: Page types, minimum DR/traffic, guidelines, and more.

SearchEye reads your Google Sheet and syncs your inventory based on the rows:

• Add a new row → adds a new publication listing

• Edit a row → updates that listing in SearchEye

• Delete a row → removes that publication from your active inventory

• Use an “Active / Not Active” column (optional) → lets you disable inventory without deleting the row

Don’t worry if your sheet isn’t perfect—our team manually maps your columns in the backend, and if anything is missing or messy, we’ll reach out and help fix it. In some cases we may add a helper column with a formula to clean/standardize data for syncing.

If you don’t already have an inventory sheet:

1. Download the template
   Template: Publication Inventory Template (Google Sheet)

2. Fill in your inventory
   Add one publication per row.

3. Share your sheet
   Share with: publishers@searcheye.io
   Recommended permission: Viewer

4. Email us to connect it
   Email publishers@searcheye.io with:

   • Your Google Sheet link

   • Any notes (currency, special pricing rules, multiple tabs, etc.)

If you already have your own inventory sheet:

1. Review your sheet
   Make sure it includes at least the required columns (Publication URL, Sample URL, and pricing columns).

2. Share your existing sheet
   Share with: publishers@searcheye.io
   Recommended permission: Viewer

3. Email us to connect it
   Email publishers@searcheye.io with:

   • Your Google Sheet link

   • Any notes about your column names, structure, or special rules (currency, multiple tabs, etc.)

We’ll review your sheet, map your columns, and confirm once your inventory is synced.

Your template includes the following headers:

• Publisher URL — the publication’s website (main identifier)

• Sample URL — a live example of a published article

• Guest Post Price — price for publishing a new article (if you offer guest posts)

• Link Insert Price — price for inserting a link into an existing article (if you offer link inserts)

✅ You must have at least one of the price columns populated (Guest Post and/or Link Insert), depending on what you sell.

• Full Feature Articles Allowed — checkbox/TRUE-FALSE (if you support full feature-style content)

• Edit Existing Article — checkbox/TRUE-FALSE (useful for link inserts)

• Minimum DR — numeric

• Minimum Traffic — numeric

• Additional Requirements — text (and/or link to a viewable Google Doc with guidelines)

• Page Types Accepted — text/list (examples below)

• Price must be in its own column (Guest Post Price and/or Link Insert Price).

• Put only the price in those cells (avoid mixing notes like “starting at”, “depends”, “$300+”).

• If pricing varies, put the standard price in the price column and explain exceptions in Additional Requirements.

• To remove a publication, delete the row.

• If you prefer to keep rows for history, add an Active column (Active / Not Active or TRUE / FALSE). We’ll map it.

• One publication per row

• Keep one header row at the top

• Avoid merged cells

• Try to avoid duplicate Publisher URLs

• Checkboxes are fine (Google Sheet checkboxes or TRUE/FALSE)

• Your inventory can be in one tab or multiple tabs.
  If you use multiple tabs, include a header row on each tab and keep columns consistent where possible.

You can list acceptable page types in a single cell (comma-separated is fine), for example:

• Homepage

• Transactional pages (product, category, service pages)

• Resource/content pages (blog posts, case studies, guides)

• Navigational pages (about, contact, etc.)

That’s okay. We manually map your sheet in the backend and will reach out if anything needs fixing. In some cases we’ll create a new column with a formula to standardize or clean values for syncing.

Once connected, your inventory syncs automatically on a recurring schedule. If you need an urgent refresh, email publishers@searcheye.io.

Yes. Include whatever you track—our team can map what’s useful.

Email publishers@searcheye.io with your Google Sheet inventory link (template or your own sheet) and we’ll get you connected.
