GMB Product Catalog Uploads

[JohnS]

Is there a way to upload a CSV or spreadsheet of product SKUs with images to a GMB product catalog? Adding one at a time is a royal pain. I am hoping by now Google added that feature, although searching I could not find it. Crossing my fingers.

Thank you,

John

Google says "Product Catalog isn't currently displayed on Google Maps." As this integrates with GMB listings, it will be great if new methods make it easier that the one-at-a-time process.

@Jeannie Thanks. I am already aware the products are not listed on GMaps. I am trying some testing by adding popular, major Brands with SKUs to see the effect on the local business, which is difficult to measure, but I have some ideas. Also, to see how G views that business through the products added to specific "product categories". I have another GMB I would like to test with but they have 8 locations. :-(

You sound very skilled. I hope you share your ideas and successes here.

I was research Google Merchandise Center which allows for a spreadsheet upload. One consultant suggested finding someone on fiverr.com and look up 'Bid Strategy Manual CPC' to enter all products.

Can you test the same product at all 8 locations against some hypothesis?

You are able to upload a CSV if you're working with Google Merchandise... which seems very similar to GMB products. I suspect there is a connection.

Side question on products. The few I've entered have easily uploaded the photo's I had on hand. For my employer's knowledge, what kind of specs are required or optimal for the photos?
