How to Customize Titles and Descriptions in Shopping Feed for Google

When it comes to online shopping, how specific you are with the details like Title & Description matters a lot as it helps you to appear at the right place when a consumer searches for a product.


Sometimes you might feel that the Title and Description in the Feed can be different from what you have on the Website for better performance in Shopping Ads results. And we exactly have this feature in our plugin.


We have two options using which you can customize the product title and description:


A. Product Details Page:
B. Using CSV Page:


A. Product Details Page:


1. log in to our plugin and click on “Manage Products” to get the product list.

5. The product will go into pending status, after making changes and it might take up to 10 minutes to get submitted in Google Merchant Center.


Please note that the changes made from our plugin will not reflect in your Woocommerce store, they will be updated in the Google Merchant Center only. If you want to undo the changes and go back to the title and description same as the Woocommerce store, then this can be achieved using the undo option.

7. If you do not remove the products for which you do not want to make any changes/modifications, then they will become customized titles and descriptions.


Note: If you make any changes in your WooCommerce store for the products titles and descriptions that you have customized using a CSV file will not get updated in our plugin. 


8. Proceed to “Save” the file.


9. Now, In our plugin, on the top right side corner, you will be able to see the option “Import List”, click on that button, and select the file which you have saved. Once you select the file, click on “Import Products”.imageimageimageimage


Disclaimer:

a) If you are using the customized title and description and want to revert back to the title and description from your WooCommerce store, then kindly leave the Title and Description fields blank for the respective products in CSV file and follow the process to import the file as above.

b) Also note that, while customizing the title and description, do not try to add any other attributes in the fields as it will not be possible to import that file.
