Product Listing Advertisements (PLA) by Google is a popular advertising platform that fetches product data from Google Merchant Center and displays it systematically for increased clicks. For running a streamlined PLA campaign, one needs to setup a seamless shopping campaign in Google Adwords with proper planning and management. To boost conversion ratio and sales from the shopping campaign, you need an optimized Google Merchant Account and Data Feed that should adhere to your campaign goals and objectives.

Here are 8 points to consider while optimizing your Google Merchant Account:

1. Data Feed Should be Approved without any error

One needs to create a relevant data feed and submit the same in their Google merchant account. To upload data feed, use Google Sheets to directly incorporate data into the account or manually upload from local files, through FTP, or cloud storage. One can even set up an upload schedule for fetching data from a data feed hosted on their site with a proper schedule or use automatic import option from a compatible e-commerce platform. One can also make use of content APIs to make uploads possible.

After uploading data feed, it should be reviewed for errors. The Google Merchant Center add-on can be used for feed validation and upload. One can view errors by exploring custom data feed’s Diagnostics and make sure that the uploads are error-free. You can also identify the impact of the errors, if any on the process, right there.

2. Optimize Product Title

Product Title plays a critical role in optimization of Google shopping feeds. The first aspect of every Product Listing Ad is the Image and connected title. If products titles are optimized, the click-through rate and conversion are impacted positively. One can optimize product title, with respect to its attributes including its font size, color, and font style too. The above attributes help in avoiding wrong clicks and users can actually click on something they need to know about.
