Para ello, Google cre\u00f3 un <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/basepages\/producttype\/taxonomy-with-ids.es-ES.xls\">documento<\/a> en el que estandariza la taxonom\u00eda a seguir para definir las categor\u00edas de producto de Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No obstante, no lo debemos confundir con el Product Type, que es la categorizaci\u00f3n del producto de acuerdo a nuestros propios criterios. \u00a1Ojo! Su inclusi\u00f3n es <strong>obligatoria en EE.UU., Reino Unido, Francia, Alemania y Jap\u00f3n <\/strong>en sectores como <strong>electrodom\u00e9sticos o ropa y complementos<\/strong>. Y aunque en Espa\u00f1a todav\u00eda no es tan estricto, si no tenemos cuidado podemos encontrarnos con rechazos masivos dentro nuestra cuenta de Google Merchant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un ejemplo de taxonom\u00eda de Google Product Category de televisores ser\u00eda el siguiente:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Electr\u00f3nica&gt;V\u00eddeo&gt;Televisores<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esta cadena de palabras se corresponde con un c\u00f3digo, en este caso 404, que podr\u00e9is utilizar en su lugar en determinados sitios como el m\u00f3dulo de Google Merchant para Prestashop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFPara_que_sirve_el_Google_Product_Category\"><\/span>\u00bfPara qu\u00e9 sirve el Google Product Category?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los beneficios que aporta tener definida una correcta clasificaci\u00f3n de este atributo son bidireccionales.

For this purpose, Google created a document in which it standardizes the taxonomy to be followed to define Google's product categories.\n\n\n\nHowever, we should not confuse it with the Product Type, which is the categorization of the product according to our own criteria. Be careful! Its inclusion is mandatory in the U.S., UK, France, Germany and Japan in sectors such as household appliances or clothing and accessories. And although in Spain it is still not so strict, if we are not careful we can find ourselves with massive rejections within our Google Merchant account.\n\n\n\nAn example of Google Product Category taxonomy for televisions would be the following:\n\n\n\nElectronics&gt;Video&gt;Televisions\n\n\n\nThis string of words corresponds to a code, in this case 404, which you can use instead on certain sites such as the Google Merchant module for Prestashop.\n\n\n\nWhat is the Google Product Category for?\n\n\n\nThe benefits of having a correct classification of this attribute defined are bidirectional. As advertisers it will help us in the following ways:\n\n\n\nEvery correctly defined field helps to increase the quality of our AdWords account with all that this entails: lowering the cost per click, copying better positions in the ranking of advertisers that have similar products to ours, etc. Whether or not our product is positioned ahead of our rivals may be due to having filled in the Google Product Category, which will help Google to identify which of our products fit better with certain searches. Channels such as Bing Shopping (not available in Spain), Facebook Ads or Criteo are fed by this categorization, so once we have defined this field we can use it in our multichannel strategy.\n\n\n\nAs a consequence of this increase in the quality of our Google Shopping ads, we will make our strategy more effective in linking the needs of our customers with the products we offer. We will advertise only what the potential customer needs. For example, if he is looking for a sandwich maker, it makes no sense for us to hit him with an electric grill. In this case the Google Product Category can be decisive.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTips for defining the Google Product Category:\n\n\n\nUse up-to-date categories or Google might assign your product to an irrelevant category, or even to other types of products.\n\n\n\nDon't be vague!  Be as specific as possible with the levels you define. The more information you provide to Google, the better for the quality of your feed and your account.\n\n\n\nUse the merchant module available for the different content managers on the market. Among the options it offers is the automatic configuration of Google categories. Accessing it is very simple, just enter the module configuration and follow the following path: Google Management &gt; Match Google Categories &gt; Click on the pencil icon that appears under \"Match My Categories\".\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStudy the possibility of collaborating with companies super-specialized in the world of e-commerce that allow you to save time and give you the best advice in the digital marketing environment. Geotelecom has, within its powerful feed editing tool, the option to automate the configuration of the Google Product Category field.\n\n\n\nFor any questions you may have, please contact us at info@geotelecom.es or leave us your contact information in the form.
