Google & YouTube

so far so good. It seems to be working fine. Just waiting for approval of my products. ;) :) :) :) .

Easy to use and great instructions provided. I like that, as a non-techy user, I can easily navigate through this app and accomplish what I need to.

the app is amazing i love it so much. it has helped my business tremendously. Google is the best to do business with.

Update 12/5/2019: Shopify support reached out to me directly after I posted this review. They did a complimentary review of my setup and let me know that everything was set correctly on my end. They said it takes 14 full days for Google to "learn" your products and to figure out the best placement for conversions. Seeing no activity during this period is normal.

We are now 21 days into the campaign and we're starting to see activity from it (sessions, adds to cart, etc). It appears that it was working correctly this whole time which really goes to emphasise the importance of improving the user interface. I made a few suggestions to the support that reached out to me and he said he would pass them on to the developers. I really hope they do because this is a valuable marketing channel and could be a great tool if it were more user friendly.

For example, there is nothing telling the user that this learning period is underway. It just says "active" and "running" which is not accurate. Adding to the frustration is the fact that you have to dedicate a portion of your marketing budget to it- In my case $5/day (or $150/mo) which is not a small amount.

I am updating this review from 1 star to 3 stars because it does work.. The user interface is just severely lacking.

Original review:
I really hate leaving negative reviews but I think this app needs to be completely overhauled. I fumbled through the setup and after some trial and error got most of my products to get accepted by google (48 out of 51). After this, I tried setting up a paid campaign with a starting budget of $5 a day. The campaign has been "active" and apparently running since November 14th and in these 7 days, there has been zero activity and I'm honestly not even sure if they're actually running. I have had really good success on Google adwords campaigns as well as Facebook campaigns but really zero activity in 7 days? It seems like something is wrong with the campaign but there is no way for me to diagnose it inside the app. Everything just says active, accepted, and running. This app lacks intuitiveness and navigating through the setup and maintenance is very cumbersome. Most of these positive reviews look fake if you read through them, so I'm not sure if the developers even care to improve it. Sad because this would be a great marketing tool if it worked!

Easy to use. Everyone you know Googles everything, so it's a no brainer that this should be part of the tools used in business.

I enjoyed this app.It works just fine. I would advise anyone to use this app. As a new business owner I am looking for as many ways as possible to draw viewers to my website.

We used this app to get our Merchant Feed set up. It was all quite simple! Maybe it's not clear that in order to get your products shown on Google Shopping you also need to configure your Google Ads account and start a campaign - this just format a feed of your products in a way that Google likes.

Very Easy To Set Up In Shopify. I have not utilized the service yet but it was hours less than setting up on my woocommerce page previously.

very straight forward. only thing is the waiting time for approval is a bit too long. Especially when you have a BFCM week coming forward.

User friendly, easy to use and helpful! Easy to use templates to adapt to your business need. Let's hope it helps my sales!
