How to List Products on Google Shopping

If you’ve ever browsed for a product on Google, chances are you’ve noticed the eye-catching Google Shopping ads popping up front and center. As an eCommerce business owner, getting your products featured in that coveted Google Shopping tab can make a huge difference in visibility and sales. But how do you get started?

Here’s the quick and easy way to list your products on Google Shopping and reach more potential buyers.

1. Set Up Your Google Merchant Centre Account

Google Merchant Center is your hub for getting your products on Google Shopping. Start by creating a Google Account (Gmail) if you don’t already have one. Then, sign in to Merchant Center with your Google Account to begin.

Next, go to the "List Your Products for Free on Google" section to enter your business details. Complete all six setup steps, including uploading your product data. Following these steps ensures your products are ready to reach potential customers across Google’s vast network.

2. Wait for Review (Up to 3 Business Days)

Once your information is uploaded, Google will review your account and product listings. This review takes up to three business days, during which Google will check your product images and details. You’ll get a status update: if it’s marked ‘active’, you’re good to go. If it needs a revision, simply follow the instructions provided and re-submit until approved.

3. Boost Visibility with Google Shopping Ads

Want to take it a step further? Consider running Shopping ads. These ads can boost your products’ visibility and drive more traffic to your site. To set this up, go to the ‘Overview’ tab in Google Merchant Center. Look for the ‘Let’s Get You Set Up’ box, and click on ‘Shopping ads’ to follow the prompts. You’ll be on your way to gaining more exposure with Google’s help!

By following these simple steps, you can bring your products directly to shoppers searching on Google. Whether you're a small boutique or a larger online retailer, listing on Google Shopping is a smart way to attract more buyers and grow your business.
