Google Shopping Optimisation: A Practical Guide for Australian Retailers

Google Shopping is the most efficient way to sell products through search. The user sees the product, the price and the image before they click. The optimisation is in the feed, the bidding and the product structure.

We manage this in our Google Shopping service, from feed setup to bidding and ongoing optimisation.

Feed quality is everything

The feed is the foundation of Google Shopping. Poor feed quality means poor visibility, higher costs and disapproved products. Invest in accurate titles, clear descriptions, correct GTINs and high-quality images.

Product titles and descriptions

Titles should include the brand, product type, key attributes and model number. Descriptions should be clear, detailed and relevant. Do not keyword stuff. Do not use all caps.

Bidding strategy

Start with manual CPC to learn the market, then switch to automated bidding once you have enough conversion data. Segment products by margin and performance. Bid higher on high-margin, high-converting products.

Product structure

Organise products into clear categories and subcategories. Use custom labels to group by margin, season, bestseller status or promotion. The better your structure, the better your bidding and reporting.
