Google Shopping Feed Setup for New Stores

You're a Busy Store Owner with Stuff to Do, and the last thing you have time to do is to figure out the components of a Shopping Feed, what it takes to get your product listings live on Google, and how they should be optimized.

ZATO's new Simple Shopping Ads Setup Solution (SSASS - okay this is a pretty dumb acronym, we admit) was designed to leave the business stuff to you, and the Shopping feeds to us.

With this solution, you DON'T have worry about important but time consuming research questions like this 👇

  • Should you use an API or FTP or Spreadsheet feed file?
  • Should you utilize free listing UTM parameters?
  • If changing your ID impacts your Shopping history, will their be future problems by making changes now? And what's an Item ID?
  • What Shopping attributes are required and what are optional and which should you spend the time to setup?
  • Which Shopping attributes should you spend the time to actually optimize?
  • How do you get free shopping listings live if you aren't ready to pay for Paid listings yet?

Why Hire ZATO for Setting Up Your Shopping Ads Feed?

  • We've been doing this a looooong time. (Seriously, back when it was called Froogle. And then Product Base. And then Product Listing Ads. And then Google Shopping Ads.. Google likes to rebrand things...)
  • We've done this for a lot of brands. (See some of them above. We're seriously-trusted Google Shopping practitioners).
  • We've been internationally recognized for our work on Shopping Ads (our owner Kirk has traveled the world speaking on setting up Shopping Ads).
  • We've (literally) written the Google Shopping setup article on the Shopify Blog (it's a HUGE article, btw. So you can read that and work through it, or just, you know, hire the people who wrote it to do it for you so you can do business ownery stuff like look at your P&L).

How do we do this?

1

Connect all the accounts
The starting up stuff can get complex, right from the beginning. We help in ensuring everything is set up... even in helping walk you through the best way to create your specific product feed.

2

Settings (the REALLY boring stuff)
Here's the stuff everyone is DYING to do by themselves. You know, stuff like ensuring your brand logos are in the correct format and pixel size! We'll do what we can here, and walk you through anything you need to do (we can't tell you what shipping carrier you've already chosen...).

Feed Creation
Here it goes. The important one! Getting that feed set up right from the beginning is important. Whether you're going to use an app, XML file to FTP, API connection, or even manually create a spreadsheet... we're happy to walk you through this process and help set it up. It's important to get it right from the beginning!

Product Attribute Optimization
Product Optimizations are easily ignored (after all, you just want your products live... now what?), but they're essential in pointing Google's Search Algorithms to the right audiences... the right people who actually want to buy your products. We help optimize your products based on how many SKUs you want us to optimize, including Titles, Product Types, and more!

Google Shopping Feed Setup for New Stores

Billed hourly
$250/h
A typical Shopify Google Merchant Center Account Setup with NO optimizations will take between 2-4 hours of work based on complexity, number of product issues once live, etc, etc.
Individual product optimizations typically take between 15-30 minutes per SKU based on how much individual research needs to be done, and how often we can bulk edit certain attributes such as Product Type. It all depends, but the products come out individually optimized and that's a win!
Pay someone for a few hours of their time, and save dozens of your own hours!
