Fix my Google Shopping product feed and improve product titles
Explains Merchant Center disapprovals, rewrites feed titles by category pattern, and sets up labels for better Shopping campaigns.
The prompt
Help me fix and optimize my Google Merchant Center product feed.
Feed sample: [PASTE 10-30 ROWS: id, title, description, link, image_link, price, sale_price, availability, brand, gtin, mpn, google_product_category, product_type, condition, item_group_id, color, size, gender, age_group]
Disapprovals and warnings: [PASTE FROM DIAGNOSTICS - e.g. "Mismatched value (price)", "Missing GTIN"]
What I sell: [CATEGORY - my own brand or brands I resell]
Shopping campaign problem: [e.g. "low impressions", "irrelevant search terms", "low click-through rate"]
Do this:
1. Explain each disapproval in plain words, its likely cause (e.g. landing-page price or availability doesn't match the feed, sale price not live on the site), and the fix.
2. Check identifiers: GTINs present for branded products, and identifier_exists set correctly for custom or handmade goods.
3. Rewrite titles with a category-appropriate pattern (apparel: brand + gender + product type + material + color + size; electronics: brand + model + key spec). Put the terms shoppers search for first and stay within the character limit [CONFIRM].
4. Map products to the most specific google_product_category, and suggest a product_type hierarchy plus custom labels (e.g. margin band, best sellers, seasonal, clearance) for campaign structure.
5. Flag policy risks in titles, descriptions, and images: promotional text, watermarks, unsupported claims.
Return:
- An issue table: issue, rows affected, cause, fix, priority.
- Rewritten titles for my sample rows (old vs. new).
- A checklist for keeping the feed and site in sync.
Do not invent GTINs, specs, or attributes; mark missing values [ADD].
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
