Integrate and sync products into Google Merchant Center in just a few clicks

Connect your store to Google Shopping through native apps, existing feeds, APIs, or website crawling. Feedoptimise supports all major e-commerce platforms and delivery methods, so you can send clean product data to Google Merchant Center without manual exports or custom development.

  • Apps & Plugins

    Connect your Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or other e-commerce store through native integrations. Your product data imports into the platform and stays in sync across all your Google Shopping feeds.

  • Existing feeds

    Already have a product feed? Import it in any format, whether you host it via URL, upload through FTP or SFTP, store it in cloud storage, or upload it to our servers.

  • Import APIs

    Integrate with your platform through our sync APIs for granular control over how product data enters the system. Useful when you need to push updates programmatically or on a custom schedule.

  • Website crawling

    No feed at all? Our automated crawlers visit your website on a set schedule, collect product details from your pages, and build a master data source that stays up to date.

Optimise your Google Shopping feed content for better performance

Improve product titles, descriptions, and attributes to reduce Merchant Center disapprovals and increase ad relevance across Shopping ads and Performance Max campaigns. Use AI, rule-based enrichment, or external sheets to enhance your Google Shopping feed across the full catalog.

  • Automate content optimisation with AI

    Generate high-performing product titles, descriptions, and product types using AI. The system can extract missing attributes from images and text, filling gaps that often cause Merchant Center disapprovals.

  • Improve Google Shopping feed quality with attribute extraction

    Detect and extract attributes like colour, gender, age group, size, and measurement units from your existing product data. With full attribute coverage, you get fewer errors in Google Merchant Center and better matching to shopper search queries.

  • Enrich your data in bulk using powerful rules

    Extract keywords from your product data and append them to titles and descriptions. Appending keywords broadens the search queries your products match in Google Ads Shopping campaigns and Performance Max.

  • Override and supplement content using external sheets

    Pull in additional product data from external sources such as CSV files, Google Sheets, or other cloud-hosted spreadsheets. Works like a supplemental feed for Google Merchant Center, letting you add seasonal copy, promotional text, or data your store platform does not export.

  • Edit individual products without changing your source

    Change or add data to specific products inside the platform. Your original store data stays untouched while the feed sent to Google Merchant Center reflects your edits.

Segment your Google Shopping campaigns with custom labels

Assign custom labels to products based on performance data, attribute rules, external sources, or manual selection. Use labels to build targeted product groups in Google Ads and segment Shopping campaigns by margin, seasonality, stock level, or any metric you track.

  • Using dynamic data sources

    Connect your Google Analytics or Google Ads accounts and label products based on live metrics, for example top converters, high CTR items, or products with the best ROAS.

  • Using data rules

    Label products based on their attributes: items on sale, new arrivals added within a set number of days, best sellers, margin bands, or specific categories.

  • Using external sources

    Import labels from external data sources such as Google Sheets, CSV files on cloud storage, URLs, SFTP servers, or third-party APIs.

  • Manually, on an item per item basis

    Assign custom labels to individual products inside the platform when you need precise control over specific items.

Analyse your Google Shopping feed with performance reports, data classification, and filters

Track item-level performance across channels, aggregate product data to spot attribute gaps, and filter products before they reach Google Merchant Center. Use reports and alerts to catch feed problems early and protect your Shopping campaigns from disapprovals and wasted spend.

  • Performance reporting across channels

    Import performance data from Google Ads, Google Analytics, and other platforms to track metrics at item level. Create custom metrics using formulas, connect feed changes to results, and use the data to build A/B tests or update custom labels automatically.

  • Custom reporting

    Report on any attribute across your feed. Visualise data spread, check title lengths, identify missing fields, and diagnose issues before they cause Merchant Center errors.

  • Alerts and notifications

    Set up alerts for data events such as a spike in out-of-stock items, a sudden drop in total product count, or missing required attributes in your Google Shopping feed.

  • Customisable product filters

    Exclude or include products using rule-based filters or ad-hoc item-level blocking. Remove out-of-stock items, low-margin products, or anything that does not meet your campaign criteria.

Google Merchant Center connectivity and diagnostics

Stay on top of product status, sync schedules, and Merchant Center diagnostics from one place. Manage multiple Merchant Center accounts, online and local inventory feeds, product reviews, and YouTube feeds from one interface.

  • Diagnostics and error monitoring

    Import Merchant Center diagnostic data into the platform. Use it to filter affected products, build reports around common issues, and fix disapprovals before they impact your Shopping ads.

  • Control your sync from one place

    Manage feed schedules, merchant promotions, and delivery settings across multiple Merchant Center accounts and sub-accounts.

  • All Google feed types supported

    The platform supports online product feeds, local inventory feeds, regional availability, product reviews, and YouTube feeds, with each configurable to your requirements.

  • Appear in free product listings

    Google uses your Merchant Center feed to show products in free listings across Search and the Shopping tab. Feedoptimise keeps your product data accurate and complete so your products qualify for these unpaid placements alongside your paid Shopping ads.

  • Multi-country and multi-language feeds

    Create separate feeds for different countries, languages, and currencies from a single product source. Each feed can have its own attribute mappings, translated content, and pricing to match the target market's Merchant Center requirements.

Google Shopping feed management FAQ

Common questions about managing and optimising product feeds for Google Merchant Center, covering feed setup, Performance Max campaigns, product disapprovals, and Google CSS

  • What is a Google Shopping product feed?

    A Google Shopping feed is a structured data file containing your product information: titles, descriptions, prices, images, availability, and other attributes. Google Merchant Center uses this file to create your product listings in Shopping ads, free product listings, and Performance Max campaigns.

  • How often does my product feed sync with Google Merchant Center?

    Feedoptimise supports multiple sync schedules per day. You can configure how often your feed refreshes to keep pricing, stock levels, and product data current in Merchant Center. Most retailers sync between 4 and 24 times daily depending on how often their catalog changes.

  • Can I optimise my feed for both Google Shopping ads and Performance Max?

    Yes. Performance Max campaigns pull product data from the same Merchant Center feed as standard Shopping ads. Improving your titles, descriptions, images, and attributes in Feedoptimise benefits both campaign types. You can also use custom labels to segment products into specific asset groups within Performance Max.

  • How do I fix product disapprovals in Google Merchant Center?

    Feedoptimise imports your Merchant Center diagnostics so you can identify which products are disapproved and why. From there, you can use rules, AI-based attribute extraction, or manual edits to correct the issues, for example missing GTINs, incorrect product categories, or incomplete shipping data, and resubmit your feed.

  • Do I need technical knowledge to manage my Google Shopping feed?

    No. Native integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and other platforms let you connect your store and start sending products to Google Merchant Center without writing any code. For more advanced setups, API access and custom rules are available.

  • Which e-commerce platforms can I connect to Google Shopping through Feedoptimise?

    Feedoptimise supports Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and other major platforms through native integrations. If your platform is not listed, you can import data via URL, FTP, SFTP, cloud storage, file upload, API, or website crawling.

  • What is Google CSS and how does it reduce my costs?

    CSS stands for Comparison Shopping Service. Google allows CSS partners to place Shopping ads on behalf of retailers, and ads placed through a CSS partner can benefit from lower cost-per-click compared to ads placed through Google's own Shopping service. All Feedoptimise customers get access to our CSS platform at no extra charge.

  • Does Feedoptimise help meet Google Shopping feed specification requirements?

    Yes. The platform validates your product data against Google's feed specification and flags missing or incorrectly formatted attributes. Built-in rules and AI tools help you fill required fields like GTIN, brand, product category, and shipping details so your feed meets Merchant Center requirements before submission.
