“Optimizing” The Feed
•Do more than the required attributes•Be descriptive, unique•Watch character limits•Use the AdWords attributes•Consider the “freshness” factor•Feeds have a sort of “quality score” too
![Page 26: Google Shopping: Make the Migration to PLAs](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052617/541684e18d7f72a26c8b4890/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“The term data feed optimization got really popular a few years ago. And it’s something that kind of resonates with retailers who don’t work with feeds a lot. So they think that data feed optimization is some sort of magical formula where you take their feed and you’re doing all this crazy stuff to send out their feed and that’s going to magically get you better results.”
