FAQ

What is Google Merchant Center?

The Google Merchant Center helps you sync your store and product data with Google and makes the information available for both free listings on the Shopping tab and Google Shopping Ads. That means everything about your stores and products is available to shoppers when they search on a Google property.

Which countries are available for Google Listings & Ads?

Learn more about supported countries for Google free listings here.

Learn more about supported countries and currencies for Performance Max campaigns here.

Where will my products appear?

If you’re selling in the US, then eligible free listings can appear in search results across Google Search, Google Images, and the Google Shopping tab. If you’re selling outside the US, free listings will appear on the Shopping tab.

If you’re running a Performance Max campaign, your approved products can appear on Google Search, the Shopping tab, Gmail, Youtube and the Google Display Network.

Will my deals and promotions display on Google?

To show your coupons and promotions on Google Shopping listings, make sure you’re using the latest version of Google Listings & Ads. When you create or update a coupon in your WordPress dashboard under Marketing > Coupons, you’ll see a Channel Visibility settings box on the right: select “Show coupon on Google” to enable. This is currently available in the US only.

What are Performance Max campaigns?

Performance Max campaigns are Google Ads that combine Google’s machine learning with automated bidding and ad placements to maximize conversion value and strategically display your ads to people searching for products like yours, at your given budget. The best part? You only pay when people click on your ad.

How much do Performance Max campaigns cost?

Performance Max campaigns are pay-per-click, meaning you only pay when someone clicks on your ads. You can customize your daily budget in Google Listings & Ads but we recommend starting off with the suggested minimum budget, and you can change this budget at any time.

Can I run both free listings and Performance Max campaigns at the same time?

Yes, you can run both at the same time, and we recommend it! In the US, advertisers running free listings and ads together have seen an average of over 50% increase in clicks and over 100% increase in impressions on both free listings and ads on the Shopping tab. Your store is automatically opted into free listings automatically and can choose to run a paid Performance Max campaign.

Instalé el complemento y luego de vincularlo y configurarlo. Al cabo de unos días vuelvo a ingresar y dentro de wordpress >marketing>Google Listing & Ads sigue apareciendo para que lo configure y se queda en el paso numero 3. Ingresando a la cuenta de Merchant center aparece la vinculacion de la tienda, la verificacion del telefono, y el listado de productos, pero pendientes con errores. Cuando está todo OK. En el listado free me dice que lo vincule, no toma la conexión. Intenté desintalar y vovler a instalarlo, pero toma lo que hice, se queda en el paso numero 3, me dice que verifique el telefono (cuando en Merchant center aparece verificado) y me tira error, no me deja avanzar desde la configuración del plugin. Hace más de 30 díoas que estoy con este problema en dos cuentas. Hace un año tengo instalado en 2 tiendas y no tuve estos problemas. Pésimo ahora.

Plugin was working ok then it crashed. IT support and programmer could not solve issue, reinstalling few times also, reconnecting...nothing helps. Plugin simply loads screen forever and that is it. Switching to new plugin because of that unfortunately.
