Google Merchant Accounts

Process

• Verify that you own your URL on the Google Merchant Center
• Create a Google Merchant Center store
• Upload Data Feeds
• Create your shopping campaign

If you ever need to edit or make changes to your Shopping campaign, such as campaign priority or product group You can then provide a data feed with all your products, pricing, brands, and other relevant product information. Providing this information allows users to find your products easily. The data feed can be uploaded with a simple Text (.txt), Microsoft Excel, or Google Spreadsheets document.

Once your inventory is uploaded to your Google Merchant Centre account you can start advertising your products, in conjunction with your Google AdWords account. Your products will then appear on Google results pages as Product Listing Ads (or PLA's). You can change your ad messages and track the impact of your ads with the sophisticated reporting and performance tools from both the Merchant Centre and your AdWords account.

Product Listing Ads use the information from your Merchant Centre product list in order to decide where your ads will appear. Rather than rely on keywords, Product Listing Ads rely on product types. So, if you sell bicycles: rather than use the keyword 'bicycle', Google will use the product type for 'bicycle'. This is another reason why it's essential that you keep your product data up-to-date.

Benefits of Product Listing Ads

• Eye catching and enticing ads
• Product Listing Ads tend to have higher click through rates than text ads. This is most likely due to the fact that they include pictures with the ad.
