The problem

Where catalogues lose clicks

In the accounts I audit, visibility problems usually trace back to a few product data issues that repeat across thousands of SKUs, which is why fixing them at the template and feed level pays back faster than fixing products one by one.

01

Disapproved and limited listings

Policy flags, missing identifiers and landing page errors stop products from serving, and Merchant Center diagnostics don’t tell you which ones cost the most revenue.

02

Titles and attributes Google can’t match

Titles without brand, material, size or colour, an empty product_type and thin attributes keep products out of the specific queries buyers type when they’re ready to purchase.

03

Feed and site out of sync

When price, availability or structured data on the product page disagrees with the feed, Google can restrict or disapprove the listing until the two match.

04

Pages working against the feed

Faceted URLs, duplicate variants and weak internal linking split ranking signals between pages that should be supporting the same products in organic search.

AI shopping

AI assistants read the same product data

ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Gemini build product recommendations from feeds, structured data and what’s written on your pages. When price, stock or key attributes are missing or contradict each other, the assistant has less to go on when it decides which products to name.

Thin data: size, material and delivery can’t be confirmed, so the product drops out of the comparison.
Consistent data: attributes, price and availability match across feed and page, so the product can be compared and recommended by name.

What’s included

Feed work and technical SEO in one engagement

The data that ranks your product pages is the same data that feeds your Shopping listings, so I work on both sides together.

Google Merchant Center Shopping ads, via the feed Free listings Organic search AI search

01Merchant Center audit

Account health, disapprovals, policy issues and feed errors, each ranked by the revenue it puts at risk and paired with the exact fix.

02Feed rebuild and title optimisation

Title structures per category, attribute completion, GTIN and MPN handling, product_type and custom labels that give your campaign manager real control over product groups.

03Product and category page SEO

Technical fixes on the pages your listings land on: indexation, variants, faceted navigation, internal linking and copy written around how buyers search for your products.

04Structured data and AI search visibility

Product, Offer and review markup aligned with the feed, so search engines and AI assistants read the same price, stock and attributes wherever they look.

05Product data architecture

A setup sized to your catalogue, with a clear view of when to move from native sync to a feed platform, and when a PIM upstream starts paying for itself.

Which setup fits your catalogue
Most brands add tools reactively. I recommend the level that matches your catalogue and channels.
LEVEL 1
Native platform sync
Smaller catalogues where clean source data in the platform covers what the channels need.
LEVEL 2
Feed management platform
Medium catalogues and paid-media-heavy brands that need rules, testing and channel-specific feeds.
LEVEL 3
PIM upstream
Large and multi-market catalogues: the PIM holds the master data, the feed platform tests, the channels consume.
How it works

From audit to fixes you can measure

01

Questionnaire and access

A short pre-audit questionnaire on your catalogue, markets and channels, plus read-only access to Merchant Center, Search Console and analytics.

02

Audit and priority list

A written audit with every issue scored by impact and effort, so your team knows what to fix first and why.

03

Implementation sprints

Monthly sprints with a defined focus, where I ship the fixes directly or work alongside your developers and feed team.

04

Review and next focus

Each month closes with clicks, impressions and revenue by product group, and an agreed focus for the next sprint.

Results

Catalogues I fixed

Four client Merchant Center accounts, with none of them running ad campaigns, so every click here comes from free listings. Clicks compare the last 28 days with the previous period (5 September to 2 October 2026); product status compares today with seven days earlier.

FAQ

Questions brands ask before the audit

What does the Merchant Center audit cover?+

Account health, disapprovals and policy warnings, feed errors, missing attributes and identifiers, price and availability mismatches with your site, and title structure for your top categories. Everything comes back as a priority list ranked by revenue impact.

What access do you need?+

Read-only access to Merchant Center, Search Console and analytics is enough for the audit. For implementation we agree on access based on who ships the fixes.

We sell private label products without GTINs. Is that a problem?+

Products without a manufacturer GTIN can still serve. We set the identifier fields correctly for your case and lean on brand, MPN and complete attributes so Google can understand and match the product.

Can you work with our developers or agency?+

Yes. I can hand over a prioritised fix list for your team to implement, or work inside your process as the person responsible for product data and SEO.

Do you manage Shopping or Performance Max campaigns?+

No, I don’t run ad campaigns. My focus is the product data and the pages behind them, which is what your ads depend on. I work alongside whoever manages bids and budgets, and the custom labels we set in the feed give them better control over product groups.

Do you work with multiple countries and languages?+

Yes. I work with clients globally, and several of the catalogues in the results above sell across multiple markets, including the US, UK, Japan and Australia.

How soon will we see results?+

Disapproval fixes can show up shortly after Google re-reviews the affected products. Title and attribute changes usually need a few weeks of data before the effect on impressions and clicks reads clearly.
