Google Merchant Account Creation

If you have an online store that sells and ships products, then you already qualify to sell on Google Merchant. Once your account is configured and activated, your products are eligible to display on Google Search, Google Shopping, Google Ads, Google Maps/Places, YouTube, and Images. All these are combined to give Google customers an amazing environment to search for products while immersing them in a content rich experience. In short, if you sell products online then you need a Google Merchant account. If you don’t already have a Google Merchant account, then once you have read the steps on this page you can request a free ZOOM consultation with our Google experts at Affordable Marketing. They will explain the cost and time for getting your account created and your products listed on Google.

If you have created a Google Merchant account but never completed the next steps to get your account configured and launched, then please continue reading this page for valuable information about how to complete the process for launching your Google Merchant account.

If you already have a Google Merchant account that is online and running on Google, and need help with optimization, troubleshooting, or management, then please scroll down to those sections of this page.

“You Need A Google Merchant Account”

Google Merchant Configuration

Configuring your Google Merchant account can be a bit overwhelming for the inexperienced, but for our Google experts its just another day at the office. We have configured many Google Merchant accounts and have listed an endless amount of product types. It doesn’t matter what you’re selling, if your products are allowed on the Google platform then we can get them listed in Google Merchant.

 Even for those who have “some” experience with setting up ecommerce stores or marketplace accounts beware, getting the configuration of your Google Merchant account wrong will cost more to fix. We prefer a new account setup because then we know that all the settings have been done by an experience Google account manager. Also, since we document every step of the way we can always go back to our documentation if a problem arises down the road.

This gives our clients the confidence in knowing that their account has been configured correctly from the beginning. This is especially helpful once revenue starts coming in, the last thing you want is an incorrect setting or configuration shutting down your account while the problem is tracked and fixed.

Google Merchant Optimization

Optimization is the place for experts, this is where your account is reviewed from top to bottom for anything that might cause a hiccup in the performance of your account. This is also where your Google account experts look for every opportunity to enhance your account for maximum sales.

This could mean diving into your website and making site to ensure everything matches your Google account, and looking for opportunities within your Google account and on every Google platform where your products will be displayed.

If you have an existing Google Merchant account that is not performing as well as you think it should, then we can help. Often low performing Merchant accounts can be attributed to configuration issues, or website content that is not syncing with your Google Merchant account. Sometimes a low performing Google Merchant account can be due to being in a very competitive space. We love these types of challenges because we always win. We know what to look for in your competitors accounts, we can see where they have gone wrong and what they have done right. Competing on Google Merchant means being an expert in the technology, and this includes Google Ads. Don’t fall into the trap that you can’t possibly change agencies, many of our clients changed agencies to Affordable Marketing and are grateful.

Google Merchant Troubleshooting

If your Google Merchant account has been suspended, then we can help. The first thing we want to make clear here is that you are not the first merchant to experience a Google Merchant suspension, and its not personal. Also keep in mind that Google is not a great communicator to begin with and when your account has been suspended, they can become even worse at explaining the exact reason for the suspension.

Google suspension explanations can be a bit of a red herring, as they tend to lump one single issue into a bucket with many different issues and don’t always give the merchant the needed details to resolve the suspension. We have noticed that the more mature your Google Merchant account becomes (i.e. the more money spent on ads), the more helpful Google support tends to be in these stressful situations.

If you have received a Google Merchant account suspension, your ads will stop running. That means no more revenue from Google until the issue is resolved. We have seen many suspensions and have turned everyone around with the account going back online. We cannot make any promises as to how long it might take to get your account reinstated or what steps will need to be taken. Every suspension has its own unique set of circumstances and requires a unique response.

Whatever you do, never aggressively push back on Google support. They are here to help you and while it may not seem like it at the time, it is true. The best thing you can do if your account is suspended is to call us right away, we will dive into the problem and put our years of experience to work in getting your Google Merchant account reinstated.
