The Easy Steps for Partners to Update Brand and Product Pages
We’re happy to share an exciting new feature that lets Works with SmartThings (WWST) partners manage their brand and certified product pages, seen by millions of SmartThings users.
Partner brand pages, found on Partners.SmartThings.com and in the SmartThings app, are some of the most frequently visited resources. These pages are often the first place users go to discover new brands and confirm product compatibility before making a purchase. Additionally, because they are visible to everyone across the entire web, they expand partner’s reach and strengthen search engine optimization (SEO) for their brand and products.
Now, partners can manage their brand and product pages to showcase offerings and encourage user purchases.
Partners can follow these simple steps to update brand and product pages.
