Google Merchant product listings are visible across a number of Google platforms. They help increase your (and everyone else's) product's visibility on the popular search platform. There are a number of places these listings appear in.
There's Google Shopping, a section where users can browse and compare products from different merchants. Then you have Google Images and Google Ads campaigns (a paid option). Lastly, there's Google Lens, it allows users to discover your products through visual searches using their smartphone cameras.
Basically, there are a bunch of places Google uses to place product content. Each of these are opportunities for you as a business owner to increase customers and hopefully sales.
Why should I care?
Google Merchant product listings increase the number of potential ways people can find your products, and can make a big difference to the revenue of your business.
Users actively searching for items like yours are more likely to find your products because they are now visible in more places than just your the product detail pages in your shop.
We all think of Google when we think search, because it's a highly respected platform. Being listed by them makes their credibility rub of on your brand. It adds some more trust and authority to your product listings. Hopefully in turn this will lead to higher conversion rates, because more users are clicking through and purchasing your products.
Integration with Google Merchant
So now that you're ready to integrate your product catalog with Google Merchant you might run into some issues with your current platform, as apparently it's not as straightforward as one might think.
Common platform integration issues include complicated time-consuming setup processes. Sometimes, integration is plagued by bugs and technical difficulties that mess up your product listing process, apparently not everyone knows how to create a simple CSV (hint: don't write your own CSV generation tools).
Without proper integration, you might end up entering and updating product data manually, which is both inefficient and error-prone. Isn't automation the whole reason you ended up forking out a monthly fee for your online shop?
