Monitoring Service for Google Shopping

What is the Monitoring Service for Google Shopping?

Have confidence that your Google Shopping listings are active with our exclusive feed monitoring service!

Our service will count the number of items actually listed in Google Shopping every day, and send you a detailed email report whenever the number drops below a minimum that you specify.

You may be unaware that hundreds of your items are unlisted because the standard Google Merchant Center notifications do not tell you about disapproved items. Google disapproves items at whim and often without notice, according to their ever-changing policies and enforcement decisions. Be prepared with our monitoring service, which will notify you of disapproved products. See below for a complete feature comparison:

Feature	Google Merchant Center Notifications	Aten Software Monitoring Service
Email Frequency	Only when feed updated	Daily
Email Options	Every time or only on error	When active listings drop below a minimum you specify
Raw item count	No	Yes
Filtered item count	No	Yes
Inserted item count	Yes	Yes
Processed item count	Yes	Yes
Disapproved item count	No	Yes
History	No	Yes
Download disapproved items	No	Yes

In addition to notifying you about disapproved items, our monitoring service records all key product counts to enable you to know about and quickly find the source of any listing issues with your feed. You may lose sales when your item listings are not appearing in the search results, so our service can help you reduce lost sales.

Setup is simple. All you need to do is click a button to give us access your Google Merchant Account, and then set the minimum listing count.

Feed monitoring services are only available for feeds submitted via our system.

Feed monitoring settings are entirely separate from Feed Safeguard settings.

Can I download the monitoring results or history?

Our system tracks the history of the product counts. This allows you to see an independent count of how many items were listed in Google Shopping over time.

You can download the product counts going back at least three years in comma-separated values (CSV) format.
