The Google Shopping feed checked, with product data fixed at the source
Check your Merchant Center feed against Google's product data specification, then fix what comes from the products themselves, such as long titles.
- Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Time
- about 25 min
- Works with
- Product Feed PRO, CTX Feed, Product Feed Manager (Rex), Google for WooCommerce
Check my Google Shopping feed [feed address, if the plugin isn't found]. Group the problems by type and tell me which come from the product data and which from the feed plugin's settings. For products whose title is over 150 characters, suggest a shorter name that keeps the brand and the model. Where price or availability doesn't match the shop, tell me which side is wrong. Change nothing until I approve each product.

What happens
- The AI app finds the feed through Product Feed PRO, CTX Feed or Rex Product Feed and checks it against Google's product data specification. With Google for WooCommerce, which syncs through Google's API, it reports the connected Merchant Center account and its sync state instead.
- Each problem comes with a finding and its fix: titles over 150 characters, missing brand or GTIN, wrong GTIN check digits, duplicate ids, links to another site, and price or availability that differ from the shop on a sample of products.
- Fixes in the product itself, such as a shorter name or the right stock, wait for your approval one product at a time; the previous values can be restored.
- Settings that belong to the feed plugin are yours to change in its own screen; the AI app tells you which ones.
