PRODUCT GROUPS
Set Up Your Campaigns for Success
• What is a Product Group?• A way to combine specific products from your feed in a Shopping
campaign• You create product groups using the attributes you created/modified in
the feed
• Use of Product Groups• All Shopping Campaigns will have a default Product Group named “All
Products”• Think of this as your safety net• Use Product Groups to organize your feed
• Prioritizing Google Shopping campaigns to run at an optimal level• High• Medium• Low
• Useful when a specific product is in multiple campaigns• i.e. Standard Group vs. Promotional Group
Tips• You bid on Product Groups rather than keywords• Your bid applies to all products in the Product Group
KNOW YOUR MOST IMPORTANT GROUPS AT ANY GIVEN TIME

PUT IN THE TIME UP FRONT
Campaign Set-Up Options Vary
• Basic Set-Up• The entire feed is tied to a single Product Group
• Least control with bidding
• Moderate Set-Up• You have Product Groups built for each product type (i.e. Women’s
Accessories)
• Advanced Set-Up• Every single product has it’s own Product Group
• Similar to having one keyword per ad group• Most control with bidding
• Each Product Group in a Shopping Campaign can have up to 20,000 product groups
• Negative Match is still available for all Google Shopping Campaigns
