Selling on Google Shopping

Use Google Shopping to ensure that your products are listed at the top of Google search! Google Shopping is part of Google Ads, but since October 2020, it has offered the possibility to place your products for free!

Why sell on Google Shopping?

Google is the most used search engine in the world, and as many as 35% of online shoppers start their search in Google. Google Shopping is available in both a free and an advertising variant. The biggest difference between Google Shopping and other Marketplaces is that Google sends visitors directly to your own webshop, and you do not pay any commission per sale. Millions of people shop online, and Google Shopping, Product Listing Ads (PLAs) make this even easier. In Google Shopping, the products of various webshops appear according to relevance, price and all other product information, including images. By clicking on the product, the visitor is immediately directed to the corresponding webshop, ready to order. Because a lot of product information has already been shared, the visitor entering your webshop will have a strong intention to buy.

What are the requirements for Google Shopping?

Google states that anyone running a webshop may advertise items, provided they comply with the policy for Shopping ads. Some products that are not suitable for Google Shopping are: counterfeit goods, hazardous products, inappropriate content (hate, intolerance, discrimination or violence). Do you meet the requirements? Then the only thing you need besides the basic product information (title, description, image, price) is a GTIN code. GTIN stands for Global Trade Item Number. The most commonly used GTIN code is an EAN code or ISBN (for books).
