The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of digital marketing on customer value and its implications for the decision to choose an e-commerce site for food MSMEs participating in the Go Online program in the Greater Tangerang area. The research method uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey method of 370 respondents who are MSME owners or managers. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with LISREL 8.80 software.

Furthermore, customer value is proven to be the main determinant that dominantly influences the decision to choose an e-commerce site with a coefficient of determination of 82.37%. The conclusion of the study confirms that the effectiveness of digital marketing strategies plays a crucial role in shaping value perceptions, which then becomes the most critical consideration for MSMEs in choosing a digital platform.
