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?

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, Google Maps, the Shopping tab, Gmail, Youtube, the Google Display Network, and Discover feed.

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 (version 1.6+).  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 it.

What are Performance Max Campaigns?

Learn more.

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 you can choose to run a paid Performance Max Campaign.

How can Performance Max multiply the performance of my ads?

Google AI pulls headlines, images, product details, and more from your product feed, and then creates and tests a variety of combinations to determine what’s resonating the most with shoppers. Then it will continue to serve the best-performing ads more often, learning and optimizing your campaign in real time – to help deliver better performance and boost your ROI.

What is Multi-Country Advertising?

Multi-Country Advertising enables you to create a single Google Ads campaign that targets multiple countries at once. Google Listings & Ads automatically populates eligible countries from your Google Merchant Center account into the plug-in ads campaign creation flow.

Can I enable Multi-Country Advertising on my existing campaigns?

If you created a campaign before this feature launched, you’ll need to create a new campaign to enable Multi-Country Advertising and target new countries. Learn more.

How is my ads budget split between the different countries?

Google’s smart technology helps identify the best performing targeted countries, so your ads can reach the right shoppers at the right time.

Which countries can I target?

You can only select the countries that you’re targeting on Google Merchant Center. Your target countries must be eligible for both Google Merchant Center and Google Ads.
