Feed optimisation improves Google Shopping performance by making product data clearer, more complete and better aligned with the searches customers use.
Strong product titles, accurate descriptions, correct categories, GTINs, availability, pricing and attributes help Google understand each product properly. This can improve visibility, reduce disapprovals and support stronger Shopping and Performance Max campaign results.
We can support feeds for WooCommerce, OpenCart, Shopify and other ecommerce platforms where product data can be exported, mapped or connected to Google Merchant Center.
The work usually includes checking product titles, descriptions, identifiers, categories, stock status, pricing, images, feed rules and website data consistency so Merchant Center receives cleaner product information.
Yes. Google Merchant Center setup and issue checks can be included as part of the feed optimisation process.
This may involve checking domain verification, shipping settings, tax settings, product disapprovals, policy warnings, diagnostics, feed errors and mismatches between the product feed and the live website.
Yes. Product feeds can be optimised for both Performance Max and Standard Shopping campaigns.
Performance Max relies heavily on feed quality, product data and conversion tracking, while Standard Shopping can offer more direct control over product visibility and bidding. Clean feed structure supports both campaign types.
Large product feeds can be reviewed and improved, including feeds with thousands of SKUs across WooCommerce and OpenCart stores.
For larger feeds, products can be grouped by category, margin, stock status, seasonal demand, brand or performance level so the most important products are easier to manage, optimise and prioritise.
Product images and Shopping assets can be reviewed as part of the optimisation process, especially where poor image quality, missing images or inconsistent visuals may reduce click-through rate.
Where suitable, image recommendations may include cleaner product images, stronger lifestyle assets, improved formatting or better alignment with Google Shopping requirements. Feed quality remains the priority, but visual assets can also affect performance.
Some Merchant Center feed improvements can be visible within a few days once Google has reprocessed the feed.
Campaign performance usually needs more time to measure properly. In many cases, you should allow a few weeks of data before judging improvements in impressions, clicks, conversions, cost per conversion and return on ad spend.
Yes. Ongoing feed optimisation and reporting can help keep product data accurate as prices, stock levels, categories and product ranges change.
Regular checks can include Merchant Center diagnostics, product disapprovals, title and attribute improvements, Shopping campaign performance, Performance Max signals, conversion tracking and feed consistency with the website.
Clean up product data, reduce Merchant Center issues and give your Shopping and Performance Max campaigns a stronger foundation.
