When you start a new website, if you are aware of the website marketing trends, you want to rank your site on the first page of Google Search Engine. Likewise, most of the people want to rank their WooCommerce site on the first page of Google Search Engine.
But, is this “keyword ranking” the correct metric to measure the visibility of your WooCommerce site?
Shouldn’t your products carry more value than your WooCommerce site pages?
Don’t you want to send your WooCommerce products to the visitors of Google Shopping, rather than send your WooCommerce site’s URLs to the Google Search Engine users?
If you’re more focused on increasing sales, you need to focus on WooCommerce and Google Shopping Integration, rather than ranking for some keywords on the Google Search Engine.
Understanding what Google Shopping does?
Google Shopping displays the products that people search for and when a visitor clicks on the product, it redirects the visitors to the source page of the product.
Here, the source page is the page from where Google Shopping found that product information. That means, the pages of your site where you actually entered the product information.
But, Google Shopping does not just find products. eCommerce site owners have to request this system to list their products. This is an opportunity because Google Shopping sends real visitors who actually searched for your products.
How to list WooCommerce products on Google Shopping?
Listing products on Google Shopping requires you to have a Google Merchant Center account connected with the Google Adwords platform.
You can then create your product feed of WooCommerce based products and submit the feed file or URL to the Google Merchant Center.
If your product feed contains errors, you will get an error report. Mostly these reports are regarding the missing product attributes for which you can count on our friendly support team.
