Our Shopping Feed Optimization Process

1

Merchant Center Audit

We audit your current feed for errors, warnings, disapprovals, missing attributes, and data quality issues. Every problem is cataloged and prioritized by its impact on product visibility.

2

Title & Description Rewriting

Product titles are rewritten to include the most relevant keywords in Google's preferred format (Brand + Product Type + Key Attributes). Descriptions are optimized to reinforce query relevance and product differentiation.

3

Attribute & Category Completion

We ensure every product has complete attribute data (GTIN, MPN, brand, color, size, material, gender, age group) and is mapped to the most specific Google product category for accurate classification.

4

Feed Submission & Monitoring

The optimized feed is submitted to Merchant Center with monitoring for new errors, disapprovals, and feed processing issues. We track Shopping impression share and click data to measure improvement.

Key Benefits

Appear for more product queries in Shopping results

Optimized product titles with relevant keywords and complete attribute data help Google match your products to a broader range of shopping queries. Better feed data means your products appear for more searches.

Lower CPC and higher ROAS on paid Shopping campaigns

Feed quality directly impacts Shopping ad performance. Better product data improves quality scores, which lowers cost-per-click and increases return on ad spend for the same budget.

Free organic product listings in the Shopping tab

Google offers free product listings in the Shopping tab for products with quality feed data. Optimizing your feed gives you additional product visibility that does not cost per click.

Research & Evidence

Organic vs Paid

Organic SEO delivers 5.66x more results than paid ads, and free Shopping listings provide organic product visibility that compounds over time

Mobile Behavior

53% of mobile visits are abandoned if pages load slowly -- and Shopping listings bypass that risk by showing product information directly in search results

Frequently Asked Questions

Does shopping feed optimization help organic rankings or just Shopping ads?

Both. Google uses your Merchant Center feed data for paid Shopping ads AND free organic product listings in the Shopping tab. An optimized feed improves visibility in both channels. Additionally, product data from your feed can inform the rich product snippets that appear in standard organic search results.

What is the most impactful feed optimization?

Product titles. Google primarily uses your product title to match queries to products. A title of 'Blue Widget' will match far fewer queries than 'Brand Name Blue Widget - 12-inch Stainless Steel Widget for Home Use.' We rewrite every title to maximize keyword coverage while following Google's formatting guidelines.

How often should the feed be updated?

Product data (price, availability, inventory) should update daily. Feed structure optimizations (titles, descriptions, categories) should be reviewed quarterly or whenever you add new product lines. We set up automated feed generation that keeps data fresh.

Do you work with feed management tools?

Yes. We work with Google Merchant Center directly, as well as feed management platforms like Feedonomics, DataFeedWatch, GoDataFeed, and native ecommerce platform feeds (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento). We recommend the right tool based on your catalog size and update frequency.
