If you run an e-commerce business, shopping campaigns should be a pivotal part of your marketing efforts.

Why use Product Listing Ads?

Product Listing Ads allow you to turn your product feed from the Google Merchant Center into shopping ads for each of the items you sell. By connecting AdWords with your Google Merchant Center account, you can then optimize and promote the items that people are looking to buy. The main benefits of using Product Listing Ads include:

Retail-friendly campaign management

Since shopping campaigns allow you to view your product inventory in AdWords, you can create ad groups for the items you want to bid on — making it easier to optimize your products.

Advanced reporting

Regardless of how you structure your shopping campaigns, you’ll have the ability to view performance data by:

  • Product
  • Category
  • Product type
  • Brand
  • Condition
  • Item ID
  • Custom labels

Competitive data

Within shopping campaigns, you can see benchmark data for average click-through rate and max cost per click, which can help you optimize your products against other competitors.
