The 3 Shopping Ranking Factors
The shopping ads auction has become increasingly competitive over the years. It is important to know what you can do to outsmart competitors if you don’t want to spend more on shopping ads. The most successful Shopping advertiser does not always have the biggest pockets.
Do you want to be the best in the Shopping Ads Auction? We’d like to share with you 3 factors that will determine the success of your shopping ads campaigns.
Here is how to increase each of these ranking factors.
Boost your Bids

Optimize your Product Titles
Research shows that product content can be a powerful way to increase the performance of Shopping Campaigns within Google Ads. Many advertisers overlook this important element. Optimizing the product title is by far the most important variable. For hundreds of advertisers who optimize their relevance through title optimization, we have seen performance gains of between 20% and 25%.
Google Shopping allows product titles to contain up to 150 characters. Google emphasizes the importance of using the 150 characters to allow Google to know the product’s purpose.
Work On Your Pricing
Did you know that product price has a major impact on your Shopping Ads performance?
If you are seeing low CTRs or low click shares for your products it could be a sign that your pricing is not as competitive as other stores.
It’s easy to see how people will click on an ad that advertises the same product if the price is identical.
Dropping your prices is the easiest way to solve this problem. However, not everyone can afford to drop their prices.
