Our Process
Frequently Asked Questions: Full-Service Ecommerce SEO
Google Merchant Center is a platform that allows ecommerce businesses to submit and manage product data for Shopping Ads across Google Search, Shopping tab, YouTube, and Display. It acts as the bridge between your online store and Google Ads, enabling you to promote products with live pricing, availability, images, and descriptions.
Without a properly configured Merchant Center, your products cannot appear in Shopping Ads — meaning you lose visibility to ready-to-buy customers. Our setup service ensures your account is verified, compliant, and optimized for full ad eligibility.
Once your product feed is uploaded to Google Merchant Center, it’s linked to your Google Ads account. This connection allows you to run Shopping campaigns using real-time product data. Each item listed in your feed becomes eligible to appear in ads, triggered by user searches on Google.
Our team ensures both accounts are properly linked, all feeds are approved, and campaign assets are synced — so your Shopping Ads reflect accurate inventory, pricing, and product details at all times.
To set up Google Merchant Center, you’ll need:
A verified business website with checkout functionality
A Google account for access
Business details (name, address, contact info)
Tax and shipping policies clearly displayed
Product data (titles, descriptions, prices, images, GTIN/MPN)
We handle every technical step — from domain claim to policy setup — and ensure that your store meets all of Google’s ecommerce advertising requirements.
Several issues can cause delays or disapprovals in Google Merchant Center:
Missing or incorrect GTIN/MPN codes
Poor-quality or watermarked product images
Inaccurate pricing or stock availability
Unclear or incomplete return and shipping policies
Mismatched landing page content
Our Merchant Center Setup service includes a full feed audit, cleanup, and optimization to eliminate these issues before your campaigns go live — so you get approved faster and stay compliant.
No — Google Merchant Center is a mandatory requirement for running Shopping Ads. Without it, Google has no way to access your product feed or validate your store’s data. Even Performance Max campaigns that include Shopping placements require an active, compliant Merchant Center feed.
We help ecommerce brands set up and verify their account, format their product data correctly, and integrate everything with Google Ads — ensuring you're fully eligible to advertise on Google Shopping.
A standard Google Merchant Center setup typically takes 1–3 business days, assuming your ecommerce store meets Google’s policies. The timeline can extend if your site lacks verified contact information, return policies, or structured product data.
Our team speeds up the process by managing domain verification, account configuration, product feed formatting, and syncing with Google Ads — ensuring your store is ready to run Shopping Ads without unnecessary delays.
