  • How can I use Merchant Center to add my products to Google for free?

    Listing for free allows you to add products to Google, for free, and reach customers who are looking for products like yours.

    Free listings vary based on data requirements. For example, enhanced listings on the Shopping tab require more product data and require you to comply with both policies for free listings and Shopping ads.

  • What is the Google Merchant Center feed?

    A feed is a file within Merchant Center that contains a list of products that you want to appear on Google. When you add your products, you'll assign attributes to each one. Your product feeds will use these attributes to group your products together. Once you've created a feed, it can be used multiple times across as many Merchant Center features as you need.

    Learn more about the types of feeds available with Merchant Center.

  • How is Google paid?

    With ads, you only pay when a customer clicks on your products. You set an average daily budget which is the amount that you're willing to spend each day, on average, for each ad campaign in your account. The amount of your budget is entirely up to you and you can edit this amount whenever you like.
