Google Shopping

Google Shopping is an advertising opportunity provided by Google as part of Google Ads. Think of it as a marketplace.

Anyone who searched for a specific product on Google sees boxes with images, prices, retailer’s name and other details of this very product next to or above the search results list. If the searcher clicks on a Google Shopping ad, they are directed to the advertiser's web page or ecommerce site.

So, what’s happening behind the scenes?

When someone types a search, Google scans its Merchant Centre database to select the products with the most relevant, complete data and the highest quality score. If your feed isn’t optimised, your ads won’t be shown.

It's all part of Google's mission always to give searchers the most relevant, high-quality information.

As with Google Ads, Google Shopping is based on a pay per click (PPC) process. In other words, you’re bidding for the top spots.

Let’s put it this way: if you run an ecommerce or retail business, you cannot afford not to be on Google Shopping. End of story. Google Shopping makes your products visible on the largest search engine in the world, at the exact moment people are searching for them and are most likely to purchase. It’s a super powerful way to grow your sales and bring more “cha-ching” to your digital cash register. This is what online marketing was made for!

In theory, building a Google Shopping campaign is as simple as configuring Google Ads (formerly AdWords) to talk to the Google Merchant Centre, where your product information lives.

As we said, that's the theory. In reality, if you want the best ROI from Google Shopping, you need to seamlessly manage three key components: Product Feed, Google Ads Campaign Structure and Bidding.

Get these three things right, and you can unleash the potential of Google Shopping for your business.

At the core of your campaign’s success is your product feed. Why? Because your bid isn’t the only thing that counts in Google Shopping. Google also rates the quality and completeness of your individual product data. If your product feed isn’t complete or optimised, your Google Shopping campaign is doomed to fail.
