GOOGLE MERCHANT CENTER

Google Merchant Center (GMC) is a tool that helps you upload your store and product data to Google and make it available for Shopping ads and other Google services.

If you have an e-commerce store and your products are not on Google Merchant Center  you are missing a tremendous amount of sales potential!

The primary goal of the Google Merchant Center is to allow businesses to upload and maintain product information, including pictures and pricing, to be displayed in relevant Google Shopping searches. The Google Merchant Center also integrates into other Google services, such as Google My Business, to allow robust oversight and control of Google-based marketing and ecommerce.

What You'll Need to Register with GMC

  • Existing Google Account.
  • Verified website and business within Google My Business.
  • Full product data.

Benefits

1
Accurate Google Shopping listings. Buyers searching Google for products will see the business’s offerings in a catalog-like format, increasing visibility.
2
