As you may know Google has changed the requirements to the Google Product Search Feed Specification and Policies. One of these significant changes is the addition of the Google Product Category field. This new attribute contains the category of the product according to Google’s product taxonomy.  Google Product Category will be required for all items that belong to the “Apparel and Accessories”, “Media”, and “Software” categories. It is also highly recommended for all other categories.

You can now categorize your items for Google in Feed Perfect.

If you are already submitting the “product type” attribute, please continue to do so. Google Product Category is included in addition to, not as a replacement for the product type attribute. The difference between the two is that product type attribute contains the category of the product according to your taxonomy and Google Product Type contains the category of the product according to Google’s product taxonomy.

If you have any questions about this, or anything related to the Comparison Shopping Search Engines, please feel free to email us feedperfectblog@solidcactus.com.
