Solidifying Google Shopping Authority Through Google Merchant Center Feed Optimization for Increased Sales

The Lab Depot showcases quality and brand-name equipment and supplies to a wide range of laboratories across North America. Carrying a comprehensive inventory of premium laboratory products from popular and leading manufacturers in the scientific market, The Lab Depot is committed to growing its online catalog and serving industries including biotechnology, pharmaceutical, industrial, academic, and governmental laboratories.

Challenges

The Lab Depot is part of the highly competitive Lab Equipment niche that calls for bulletproof SEO and marketing  strategies. To stand out among a plethora of Lab Equipment and Supplies manufacturers and distributors online, it relies on Lumenvo to manage the business’ Google Merchant Center feed and optimize its Google Shopping listings. 

Lumenvo is responsible for pushing thousands of products to Google Shopping while ensuring that ads display on top of Google Shopping listings. Following industry best practices, Lumenvo’s strategies continuously strengthen The Lab Depot’s online authority, capture more sales prospects, widens the gap with other suppliers, and, most importantly, increase overall sales. 

Solutions

An optimized Google Merchant Center feed is the core of any successful Google Shopping Ad. Maximizing Google Merchant Center attributes and ensuring completeness and accuracy of product information all help shape ads behavior, improve ad rank, and target higher-quality audiences. 

Lumenvo continuously highlights the importance of offering valuable product data to prospects and customers. Doing so, combined with better targeting, makes way for lesser ad spend and secures boosted sales and conversions. 

By regularly reviewing The Lab Depot’s Google Merchant Center data feed and identifying and working on required and supplemental attributes and product data, Lumenvo establishes a complete and up-to-date Google Shopping feed that helps position The Lab Depot ahead of its competitors and assists Google and shoppers in identifying products that meet search intent.  

Aside from optimizing Google Merchant Center-required attributes like Product Titles, Descriptions, and GTINs, Lumenvo takes advantage of supplemental attributes that most brands are unaware of and do not put much effort into. These attributes include Additional Image Links, Size, Color, Material, Product Details and Product Highlights. 

The Product Details attribute is used to provide technical specifications or additional product information not covered by available Google Merchant Center attributes. Aside from presenting prospects with easy-to-understand structured data, these details guide Google when returning individual products to prospects based on search queries.

Product Highlights, on the other hand, offer users a quick overview of your product’s most relevant features, showing all information that prospects would need to consider when looking for the right product.

Lumenvo also utilizes Google Merchant Center promotions, business information attributes, and customer reviews that highly encourage prospects to convert. Having all these promos and social proofs available would most likely lead prospects to click your ad and purchase from your website.
