Maximizing You Relationship with Google

Everyone is aware of the potential of paid search marketing using Google.  To maximize your relationship with Google I recommend:  

  • Link Ad Words and Merchant Center.  If you are not familar with Google Merchant Center here is a link to the Merchant Center Blog. This will allow
    • Participation in Product Extensions and Product Listing Ads
  • Send a product data feed to Google, be certain to include
    • Internal ID code, title, link, price, description, condition and image link
    • Attributes can also be sent including groupings and labels
    • Other attributes include exclusion fields and tracking parameters
  • Rich Snippets
    • Stuctured data from the website...such as product reviews
      • Requires stock and price updates along with the product rating
      • Also requires rel="canonical" link  on the product detail page
Those are three steps to help maximize your relationship with Google.
