to increase profitability on your Google Product feeds. 

WakeupData's feed Marketing Solutions allow you to create from scratch or connect your Google product feed,  then optimize and enrich your data, to boost performance on Google Shopping.

What is a Google shopping feed?

A Google Shopping feed is a structured data file that contains information about products that you wish to advertise on Google's shopping platform. It includes details such as product titles, descriptions, prices, availability, images, and other attributes.

Retailers provide this feed to Google, which uses the data to display relevant product listings when users search for specific items on Google Shopping. The feed enables businesses to showcase their products and reach potential customers who are actively searching for products to buy. This is what is usually described as a Google Product Feed.

How to create a Google shopping feed?

Creating a Google Shopping feed includes the following steps in a nutshell:

1. Prepare your product data: Ensure that you have accurate and detailed information about your products. This includes attributes such as product titles, descriptions, prices, availability, images, and other relevant details.

2. Choose a feed format: Google supports multiple feed formats such as XML, TXT, or CSV. Select the format that is most convenient for you and compatible with your product data.

3. Structure your feed: Create the feed file according to the required format and structure. Each product should have its own entry with corresponding attribute values.

4. Include required attributes: Google has specific feed requirements that must be met. These typically include the product title, description, price, availability, and link to the product page.

5. Add optional attributes: Enhance your product listings by including optional Google Shopping feed specs such as brand, colour, size, condition, and more. Providing as much relevant information as possible can improve the visibility and effectiveness of your listings.

6. Submit your feed: Upload your file to Google Merchant Center, which is the platform where you manage your product data. Create an account if you don't already have one and follow the steps to submit your feed.

Google Product data specification requirements

You will need to format your product data to follow the product data Google feed requirements when you are ready to send your product feed to the Merchant Center.

There are design guidelines that clarify exactly how to apply the data so that Google can thoroughly understand it. While there is a lot of information in the specification, reading through it can be useful now so that you can understand what kind of information you are going to get.

Google Shopping Feed Optimization

For eCommerce retailers selling on Google Shopping, the fastest way to make a big difference to CTR and conversions with a minimal effort is to focus on the structuring and optimization of your Google Merchant Center Feed. You may have an effective bidding strategy in place, but if your feed is poorly structured and not optimized you just won't see the results you are after.

Google Shopping ads can yield 26% better conversion rates at a 23% lower cost-per-click (or CPC) over traditional text-based ads, but they need to be properly optimized.

Some fields in your Google Shopping Field will have standardized values - such as condition or availability. Meanwhile, other fields like iddescription or title will be open for you till add your own input. 

Once your feed is sent to Google Shopping, these products are displayed when a customer uses Google to search for a product. They can appear in the main search engine results page or under the shopping tab. Taking the time to really accurately define and describe the products in your Google Shopping feed will help potential customers searching for your products to more easily search for and find your items. 
Now take your newly optimised Google Product Feed and harvest the benefits from it!
