Google publishes a category taxonomy running to several thousand entries. Placing your products correctly within it affects which searches you appear in, how Shopping classifies you, and whether your listings compete against the right products.

For a catalogue of a hundred items this is an afternoon. For a tile catalogue thousands of SKUs deep across sizes, finishes and collections, it needs a systematic approach — mapping rules, bulk assignment, and a way to categorise new products correctly as they are added rather than fixing them later.

What this covers

  • Mapping your categories to the Google product taxonomy
  • Bulk categorisation across large and deeply structured catalogues
  • Attribute enrichment — material, colour, size, pattern
  • Rules so new products are categorised correctly on creation
  • Structured data markup on product pages
  • Localised categorisation for the markets you sell in
  • Review of category performance, and reassignment where it is not working

How engagements work

  1. Catalogue review

    How your products are structured today, and how deep the hierarchy runs.

  2. Mapping

    Rules from your categories to Google's, with the ambiguous cases decided.

  3. Apply

    Bulk assignment, plus markup on the product pages themselves.

  4. Maintain

    Rules for new products, and a review of what is performing.
