You may be wondering why you’ve noticed Single Feed’s increasingly slow customer support times, and the lack of system upgrades in the last 3 years. The answer is due to the fact they SingleFeed has been acquired by the Chinese company Alibaba, and is simply focusing on other things.

If you want an alternative to SingleFeed, try Feedonomics for product feeds, where an amazing customer service (usually same day responses) is coupled with insanely powerful product feed technology.

If you’re looking for an alternative to the German ProductsUp for feeding products to Google Shopping, Bing Shopping, Connexity and other channels, there are a few alternatives to consider.

If you want the absolute best shopping feed platform for marketing agencies, look no further than Feedonomics, which lets you easily enrich and optimize shopping feeds and then send them out to the various CSEs and Marketplaces.

Godatafeed is a popular feed platform for small eCommerce stores to simply pass their products through to Google Shopping and other channels, but what if you want to do real optimization?

I don’t just mean making sure all attributes are not empty, I mean making sure all attributes are optimized to perform well.

For that you need an alternative to Godatafeed like Feedonomics, which lets you easily optimize your product feed by doing powerful noun insertion, color insertion, and more.

While Godatafeed is a very cookie cutter solution with inherent limitations, Feedonomics gives you a very powerful way to optimize your product feeds for google shopping, Amazon, and many more.

You’re not alone if you’re tired of downloading and using clunky software that hasn’t been seriously updated in the last 5 years.

Is there a better solution for engines and marketplaces like Google Shopping, Amazon, and Bing? Yes! Feedonomics is the best shopping feed platform for agencies, and doesn’t charge based on “data load”. What’s awesome about Feedonomics is you can actually visualize and see both your raw and transformed data feed, without having to download to excel!

Also impressive is how easy it is to add bulk rules to a feed in Feedonomics, to speed up the entire feed optimization process.

If you’re currently using Channel Intelligence for shopping engines like Google Shopping, Bing Shopping, and others, you have probably been notified that Channel Intelligence is moving to a more self-serve model for all but it’s largest retailers.

This move is a little surprising since Google acquired Channel Intelligence back in 2013, presumably to acquire more merchants for Google Shopping. Even more surprising was that many retailers stayed with Channel Intelligence after the acquisitiong, knowing that Google as the owner, is far less likely to recommend an omni-channel approach, and instead just recommend Google Shopping.

In any case, I recommend using Feedonomics – the best shopping feed platform to optimize and feed to channels like Google Shopping, Amazon, and Facebook Product Ads.

If you want to start advertising your WooCommerce store, you need to be able to get your product feed out of WooCommerce, optimize it, and then feed to Google Shopping.

Of course you want to include child variants if you have them, not just parent products, and it’s not easy in WooCommerce.

Fortunately, Feedonomics lets you export your WooCommerce products to Google Shopping, including variants and all other relevant attributes.

One of the most annoying errors you can get on Google Shopping are the notorious Automatic Item Disapprovals due to a policy violation.

These are usually because of the attributes in your feed, but are very difficult to diagnose.

When you look at the Google Support page, you get the same exact vague reasons why your products get disapproved:

What’s the problem?
Some of your items are disapproved due to a policy violation we detected automatically. When an item is disapproved, it won’t be eligible to serve on Google Shopping.

Our goal is to provide the best user experience on Google Shopping. In order to ensure that the product listings we show to online shoppers are safe, secure, and comply with legal requirements, we maintain comprehensive enforcement of the Google Shopping policies for all merchants. We use automated systems to identify items that may violate our policies. These checks are applied to all items submitted to Google Shopping from all merchants.

Why should you fix this?
You are responsible for the product data that you submit to Google Shopping, including determining if your products comply with our policies. We use automated systems to identify violations and disapprove items, but we might not be able to find all items in violation automatically. You must remove all items from your product data that violate Google Shopping policies. The items we disapprove automatically might only be a subset of all violating items. Any remaining non-compliant items put your account at risk of preemptive item disapprovals or account suspension.

How can you fix this?
The automatically disapproved items can help you to identify patterns (e.g. product categories, brands, keywords) that you can use to remove all violating items from your product data you submit to Google Shopping.

In some instances, you’ll see the option in your Merchant Center account to request a manual review of an item that has been disapproved automatically for policy violations. You can use this in cases where you believe items are incorrectly disapproved. Please note that this manual review is only available for select policy violations and is not available for items that have been disapproved preemptively. Learn more about how to request a manual review.

Fortunately, Feedonomics makes it easy to fix Automatic item disapprovals due to policy violation. Otherwise you have to put up with what could be a growing and large percentage of disapprovals, and bring down the ad quality of your entire Google Shopping account.

One of the hardest things to do well in Shopify is to automatically export all parent and child products to the various CSEs (consumer shopping engines).

If you’ve been struggling with this problem, try looking at Feedonomics, which lets you easily export Shopify child variations to Google Shopping, and then feed to the various engines.

What’s nice about this Shopify Google Shopping solution is that your child-level data like price and inventory can also be fed, meaning you’re always dealing with the most up-to-date data.

One of the hardest things to do properly in BigCommerce is set up recurring and automatic exports for Google Shopping for child variations. If you have a single T-shirt, you may have 30 variations with 3 different colors and 10 different sizes.

Feedonomics is the the easiest solution to export BigCommerce child and parent variations to Google Shopping. You can even have access to all child prices and child inventory, which helps avoid disapproval on Google Shopping and Bing Shopping.

If you’re tired of manual exports that quickly get out of date, and really want the best performance, give Feedonomics a try.

So you just got that nasty email with a Google Shopping Disapproval that threatens to cause an account suspension unless you fix it in 7 days? It’s not the end of the world because Google Shopping Disapprovals are usually simple to fix.

Been there more times than I can count. When you’re dealing with out of date shopping feeds on Google Shopping, it’s hard to always comply with the Google Shopping policies. One way to mitigate that is to synchronies your data from your website and the shopping feeds using a platform like Feedonomics.

Other disapproval problems I have received often include using disallowed keywords. This can be fixed by removing the incorrect keywords.
