Shopping Campaigns:

Import your shopping campaign from Google Ads

Import your Google Ads shopping campaigns just as you would a standard search campaign. HereÔÇÖs more information on the import process.

Prior to importing, make sure your feed file is compatible with BrowSearch & Feedonomy. As with any new system. Sometimes a name or menu must be before not after. We will assist you if you need the help. I often advise users to load or add a listing (Product) manually. Besides getting a feel for how it works. You can really get creative and once you have the layout and wording prefect around change the entire look of your listing. Once you have completed adding one or two individual listings. Export the file in CSV. Then compare it to your Product Feed and you will probably need to change a column or row whatever. Besides the fact you just created a completely new Product Feeds CSV you can import you existing Feed perfectly based on your export.

Create a new Feedonomy Shopping Campaign to run in parallel with your existing shopping (Ad) campaign

If you already have product ads set up in BrowSearch or Feedonomy. You can create a new Create a new Feedonomy Shopping Campaign that uses your existing catalog feed file. The new shopping campaign will not replace your existing product ad campaigns, but will instead be a new campaign that runs alongside the others. Here are the steps you need to follow:

First, update your catalog feed as necessary. Consider adding custom labels. For more information on custom labels. See: How is the catalog feed organized

If you are using Microsoft Advertising Labels and Microsoft Advertising groups for your product ad campaigns, you will need to switch these to custom labels in your shopping campaign. Consider using the improved 8ing and product categories. HereÔÇÖs the full list of categories

Next, follow the steps for creating a shopping campaign. Because you are already using product ads, you have probably already completed the first three steps and will only need to complete step four.

Pay particular attention to the following settings in your new campaign:

Campaign Priority

Campaign priority handles cases where the same product ad could be displayed from multiple campaigns, such as from your existing product ads campaign and your new shopping campaign. The ad from the campaign with the highest priority will take precedence over the same ads from other campaigns, regardless of bids. Generally, you want to ensure your shopping campaign has a higher priority than your product ads campaign. If there are multiple campaigns with different priorities targeting the same product, the campaign priority still holds trueÔÇöHigh takes precedence over Medium, which takes precedence over Low. However, if the product gets filtered out by any business rules, like location targeting, minimum bids, etc., the campaign priority is applied to the non-filtered product. For example, letÔÇÖs say you have a High and Medium campaign targeting the same product, and this product is selected to serve. But after applying location targeting, the product from the High campaign is filtered, which means the non-filtered product from the Medium campaign will serve.

Campaign priority can also be useful if you want to create campaigns around specific events, like sales or promotions, without changing bids across the campaigns

Store ID

As you set up your shopping campaign, you will be asked to link your campaign to an existing store. Make sure to link your campaign to the correct store because you will not be able to change the store once you save your campaign. After that, the only way to link to a new store is to delete the campaign and start over.

Product filters

By default, all products in your Feedonomy Merchant Center store will be included in the campaign. Use product filters if you want to include only a subset of your products in the campaign. Once your shopping campaign is created, your final step is to create one or more product groups.
