Best practices

This best practice can help you go beyond the basic requirements to optimise your product data for performance.

  • Submit only the model of the car using the model [model] attribute. To add trim information for the vehicle, use the trim [trim] attribute.

Examples

Submitting model [model] attribute

When submitting this attribute, submit 'Model' and not 'Model deluxe' or 'Model standard'. For example, for a vehicle model known as 'One' and a trim value 'B', specify 'One' in the model [model] attribute and 'B' in the trim [trim] attribute.
