Do only paid adwords appear in google shopping
-
Does anyone know if we have to have a paid addwords campain for our products to appear in google shopping.
We have a feed set up for google shopping.
We have addwords campaigns running for google.
But our products do not seem to appear in google shopping.
Any advise on how to get them there?
-
I totally agree. The conversion on my campaign is sick! Mainly because we always appear cheaper next to the big box stores, they have to charge sales tax and shipping, we don't. It definitely is worth every penny and every minute of time it takes to manage it.

Thumbs up for Monica answer.
I can only add in my experience google shopping campaigns are worth every cent. CPA is yummy.

Google shopping doesn't run off of key terms at all. It runs off of the attributes of your products. You have to create a shopping campaign in Google AdWords in order for your products to be displayed. The products are submitted to merchant center, then you add them to a shopping campaign in Adwords. Here is a video with instructions. Make sure that you are starting with high bids and budgets. This is the best way to get a large amount of data in a short amount of time.
You will want to frequently check your search terms by going to the keywords tab, hitting details, and under search terms, select all. The only way to control your campaign is with negative keywords. Adding keywords to the ad groups WILL NOT matter. (I had to learn this the hard way) I set up each of my products in its own ad group in order to better determine CTR, what my CPC should actually be and negative keywords. This was the most effective way for me to do it. Some of my products ended up being grouped together in one ad group because I have over 1000 products in Google Shopping. I tried to minimize it as much as possible.
If you need help with this, just give Google a call. They are super helpful with setting up these campaigns and ad groups.

in short - yes, this used to be a free channel until about 18 months ago and drove a lot of traffic however that traffic is still there and more (now its in the SERPs) you just got to pay for it and its quite expensive for certain keywords.

Hi,
Here I am providing you few checkpoints either of them could be reason for not showing your products in Google shopping.
(1) google may sometimes take 24-72 hours or so
before a properly processed data-feed can be seen
within the adwords account; the feed must be valid.(2) be certain a product_type attribute is submitted
using plain text and > separated taxonomy data ; e.g.
Toys > Wagons
https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/188494#product_type(3) product-targets are for regular-product-listing-ad-campaigns;
shopping-campaigns use product-groups to create groups of
items to assign bids.

Google Merchant Center product reviews
My googlefu is not good enough to put the words together to find an answer for this, but I am sure there is one out there. I am making a review feed for a client's site to submit their product reviews to google merchant center. But one problem we are having is that the reviews are generalized, like how amazon does it. A sample product would be Whey Protein, this product is available in 4 different sizes and has 4 different GTIN's (one for each size). But the reviews we collect are just for the base product of Whey Protein. What I am trying to figure out, is if I can assign a parent GTIN, then correlate the reviews to that GTIN and then let them populate for the child GTIN's some how.

When to switch off AdWords ads in your channel mix?
My question is actually Inspired by that very good article: https://moz.com/blog/google-organic-clicks-shifting-to-paid that I read this morning. Present situation: For a specific and valuable non-branded keyword combination (2-3 words) we rank: Google Adwords: position 1 Local Pack (with maps): position 1 Organic Search: position 3-5, lately more 5-6 Question?: Is it still worth having AdWords ads or not there? How to evaluate if we could do without AdWords? Any algorithm, experiment, thought that would help find out? We know our average cost per lead for the different channels. Just to leave away AdWords ads for a certain time is not really an option nor would that statistically mean anything, i.e. if we skip AdWords and have the same number of leads after that and compare it with the months before (with AdWords) that could also be due to other reasons (seasonal aspects, etc.). Put in other words: if we skip AdWords people would still click (more) on our other two search results (local & organic). I am not sure if the additional leads coming from AdWords outweigh the cost we have for that. Would love to know your thoughts about that. Thanks a lot for your input in advance. Cheers, Cesare

Privacy Policy in Adwords
Does anyone have direct experience regarding the impact on quality score by ensuring there is a privacy policy in place on the landing page? I am aware of the legal requirement but I have heard anecdotal evidence there could be an impact on quality score if one is missing.

Why are my Adwords Total Estimated Conversions Less than My Phone Call Conversions?
I'm having an issue with tracking some conversions in adwords. Google Adwords is saying I have 20 estimated total conversions in an account and 26 phone conversions. Adwords is saying that the phone conversions are included in the total, so I am confused as to how the part is having a higher total than the sum. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

Running Adwords Campaigns to show Improvement in Organic Traffic
Hi mozers, I have a new client who contacted because his organic traffic dropped all of a sudden from 5000 visits per month to 300 visits per month. I have been reviewing his website profile and there are several reasons that take me to beleave the agency that managed his account until 3 months ago, was doing PPC to show improvement in the orgranic (SEO Service) traffic. 1. The Website was showing traffic for several highly competitive keywords 2. Most of the traffic 95% was driven to the home page with several groups of keywords 3. The website has just a few external links with anchor text not related to keywords sending traffic. Is anyone familiar with this type of practice? Thanks in advanced.
