Very helpful video!! I was able to correct many product fixes from watching this as a beginner. Do you have any videos on resolving Googles "misrepresentation" status?
Thank you so much for the video. it was really helpful. I have a question, what if I sell a product that doesn't fall into the product category? how can i do that?
@@TheBlakeBauer I appreciate your response. I sell a very new and niche product. it is mushroom coffee. and it is between coffee and supplements. That is why i am asking. Is there any other way to categorise the product? because the category doesn't exist.
Thank you so much for the information at the end for the added feed rules. Hoping this will help get all 1445 products recognized on Google and stop limited anymore. Although, I have 2 stores and they both look completely different and there is not a feed button under products section on the store that needs the most fixing. Question? Mine is set up correctly but neither my older account nor my new one say Shopify API? Did I do something wrong?
Glad it was helpful! No I think you should be fine the name does change. The Merchant Center does look different now so I will need to update this video.
I don’t remember what I did or what I clicked, but I was checking every setting at the top and it asked to switch back to the old version which I did and then the options were there. It also said it would stay that way for a short time, but I got all of the rules set. Hope it works. Great video 😊 thanks for the reply.
Hello, thanks for the nice straight forward video. I can see that you've added 5 countries to the same API feed, how do you over come the currency differences? I was thinking that I would need to upload a separate feed for each country but it does not look like you needed too. Cheers
No you don't need to upload new feeds with different currencies. You can just use that feature to show up in different countries and Shopify will process the difference if the backend. I only used USD pricing so it made it easier, but even if you have currency converters it should still work I belive.
Hi, If I my business is already active on google, when I set up Google Merchant account in Shopify do I add the same login details such as email address thats already registered to the business on google? or will login with another email address and entering the business details in shopify google merchant setup, create a fresh new business listing on google? Hope that was a clear explanation. Thanks
Hey there, I don't see any feed option on my google merchant center, I click products I can't find the feeds section anywhere. Is this a new dashboard? Or do I just need to wait for my products to be approved before I can see that section?
You may need to wait for your feed to appear once you connect it in Shopify. Takes a few hours. If not, try disconnecting & reconnecting & wait. Hope that helps.
Great video, Blake! Under Business Name, should I enter the name of my LLC or my brand name? In my case,both of these are different. Also per your experience, how long does it take to get products approved and misrepresentation issues fixed? I run a jewelry gift store on Shopify and about to open a google merchant center account, thanks ahead of time for your responses.
Brand name & LLC name are separate. There should be a differentiation between your brand name & your company name in the settings. Typically it takes 48-72 hours.
Hey Blake! Thanks for the video. If I already have a google account set up, how do I add a business as a location if I work for an agency and want to have multiple accounts under 1 Google account/email?
I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but as an agency you'll want to make a Google Ads Manager account to manage all your Google Ad accounts under 1 overarching agency account.
Thank you very much for your reply. I just realized that I have a couple of websites on my account and can't for some reason add the new website to the account. I can't remember how I added the 2 accounts in the first place. I would please like to know if you can direct me to add this new website to my Merchant account which already has 2 websites attached to it? Thanks
Hello.. i have a big problem and was wondering if you've done a video on it or know how i can fix it... I setup everything and Google ran my site and inserted all my products. Google, for some reason, chose my thumbnails instead of my mockups as the product images. Now they are all the error "too small". I've tried everything and don't know what to do next. There are 1600 products. I can't fix each one individually and then they won't update if i change the mockup, description, price, etc. I am totally stuck... any help is very much welcomed...
I'm not 100% sure, but look up how to edit the product feed from within the Google Merchant center. You can setup a rule so that the image used in the products is different from the one currently being used I believe. Sorry for the delayed response.
Hello what do i do to get my google merchant center account; to connect I mean it is connected but it is not linked i guess i am saying it correctly the number is not showing in the
Hey man, i've checked off all the settings in the Merchant Center shopping ads programme but it's still not showing as 'active', but the free product listings are active, all products are approved but my Google Shopping campaign isn't spending and i believe it's because the Shopping Ads programme isn't active, any idea on how to solve this?
hello I would like to sell jewelry and I have just created a product feed that I sent to Google market center but my products were refused and the error message is that I need to add the attributes of color, gender, and age group but I thought these attributes were not required for jewelry? If not, could you tell me how I should change this? do I have to change in Google sheet or can I redo directly in product feed anyway thank you very much for your videos
They are still required - you can make Age: Adult, Gender: Unisex. Color you should be able to leave blank. You can adjust these setting in the Merchant Center Feed by using rules. Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/0ZVZQ4-8MyM/v-deo.html
@TheBlakeBauer hello there is someone from Google who made me an advertisement for shopping, I told him that my budget is 50 € per day but after 24 hours I only got 28 impressions and zero clicks is very bad?
Great thanks. I have the Google & UA-cam app (it seems to be called now) and only have GA4 Analytics integration, I can't see any way of linking Google Ads, is that correct? Also - you're adding product categories to the products through Shopify, I have done it through Merchant Centre, is it needed to re-add them inside Shopify? Still shows blank there.
Merchant Center should link to Google Ads yes. Shopify does not do this for you to you'll need to login to either MC or Google ads to do this. Adding categories in MC should be fine yeah.
hello what do you think of gmc support? I find that they are completely incompetent, I asked them questions regarding the import of attributes and also the synchronization with Google sheet but each time they tell me that they will find out more
Google support in general is usually outsourced the cheap 3rd world countries where they are minimally trained. So yeah usually can resolve issues but a waste of time for best practices or general advice.
Do you have products on your live Ecommerce store? If it's connected it should show products in your feed & you should see the numbers in the dashboard.
I'm trying to set up the Google Customer Reviews using Merchant Center Next, and I'm only finding articles and videos for the old version, and typing in the help bar gives me nothing. If it's in this video can you please let me know at what time? If not, do you know how to set this up using the new version? Thank you.
Hello, do you have a facebook groupe or something else? I have a stock of jewelry that I would like to sell on Google Merchant Center and others but I still have several questions could you tell me what you think.
sir plz make a video on how to connect redbubble and google merchant account plz make a video on tht cz lots of people having truble in that thank you.
Outstanding content, thorough detail and lots of nuanced points explained well - thankyou. I have 2 shipping options were a customer checking out can either pay for standard shipping or purchase an insured more expensive shipping - how is this best displayed in shipping settings within GMC? Thanks!
Hey Blake, I want your paid service Google Merchant and Google ads can you setup this for my store? If yes Kindly share us details with me how i can reach out to you? Thanks!
Hey Blake. Dude, my shopify keeps saying that my shop is password protected, and thay only people with the password can purchase from my store. But anyone can literally purchase from it. Do you know why this is the case?
When making the Google Merchant Center account - does it matter which google email account you use? I appreciate that the business infomation will need your customer email (the one customers will see on your website and I will include that there) but my customer email is not a google account, whereas my main business email is (but is different to my brand name) so hoping that should still be fine to use as the google account for the Merchant Center? Thanks
Yeh as long as you use the same Google Account for Google Merchant Center & all your other accounts you should be fine. The customer facing email can be changed & doesn't need to be the same as your login.
Thanks so much for your reply - that's really helpful! Just to clarify, when you say say same google account for the Merchant Centre and all other accounts, what other accounts are you referring to? Is this Google Ads, Shopify etc? If so I will be using the same gmail for those too, but not my personal gmail.
I haven't struggled getting products approved with the Shopify integration. As long as you have your store live & meet the few qualifications & aren't selling anything prohibited it's not that tough from my experience.
@@TheBlakeBauer It is ok. The system is deeply flawed and I have completed bits of this that do not quite link together. After 8-10 weeks, I am still caught in a limbo and I no longer know which bits to change. When I follow your directions, I find the system automatically creates a new merchant center and tries to link to my existing shopify channel so there is a further disconnect.

Thank you so much for the video. it was really helpful. I have a question, what if I sell a product that doesn't fall into the product category? how can i do that?
There's is hundreds if not 1,000s of categories so you should be able to find something
@@TheBlakeBauer I appreciate your response. I sell a very new and niche product. it is mushroom coffee. and it is between coffee and supplements. That is why i am asking. Is there any other way to categorise the product? because the category doesn't exist.
have you wordpress for google merchant center set up?
I used Shopify but Wordpress works the same. Use a plug-in for Gooogle.

You don't need to have those can just leave it blank.

You should have a tab that says custom [true] [false] just click [true].

Thanks
I'd use the same login email for everything yes. You can link the accounts together, but you'll need to have the same login for each to connect.
Hi Blake, really love the information. Do I need to have a shopify store or i can only use Google merchant center to sell products?
You'll need to have an eCommerce site to process payments, doesn't work with a merchant Center without.
Thanks Blake
So do I need a separate Google Merchant account for each shop if I have more than one shop??
Yeah if it's a seperate Shopify store / brand then yes I would create multiple.
Hey there, I don't see any feed option on my google merchant center, I click products I can't find the feeds section anywhere. Is this a new dashboard? Or do I just need to wait for my products to be approved before I can see that section?

If not, try disconnecting & reconnecting & wait. Hope that helps.
Great tutorial. Is it possible to have a feed management tool ontop of what you use ? to make more automated rules
I would use the merchant Center rules in the platform but there are also external tools to make this easier.

what if i'm selling shirts and entering one by one? it only let's me enter one size. So I have to submit each size as a separate product?
This is something specific to clothing which requires a different configuration. I'd do a Google Search on that exact problem to see how to resolve.
What are the requirments to get products approved? Thanks in advance
In stock, not anything illegal / banned. Should be good if you meet
Thank you very much for your reply. I just realized that I have a couple of websites on my account and can't for some reason add the new website to the account. I can't remember how I added the 2 accounts in the first place. I would please like to know if you can direct me to add this new website to my Merchant account which already has 2 websites attached to it? Thanks
I would just go into the Google Ad account and disconnect the one you don't want to use and connect the correct one. Hope that helps.

Try linking your Googel Ads account to your Merchant Center account. Could be the issue.
