Feed creation and optimization have never been so simple. Try out our free plugin Feedo and enhance your shopping campaign performance.

== Description ==
The Feedo plugin for Wordpress Woocommerce makes it quick and easy to create, automate and publish product feed to Google Merchant Center.

= Features =
* Ensures that feeds for newly uploaded/updated products are optimized as they are created/updated.
* Globally maps product categories and other custom variables with the Google Merchant Center values.
* Lets users to update Merchant Center-specific attributes either in bulk or by individual product, before sending them to automated optimization.
* One-click publishing directly to Google Merchant Center after optimized feed review.

= How does our feed optimization work? =
We use our in-house optimization engine built on a microservice architecture, and it has two different services as below:

**Title Optimization**
This service optimizes the title based on a defined pattern according to the category.
For example, apparel product "title optimization" pattern would be, Brand + Gender + Product Type + Attributes (Color, Size, Material)
Before Optimization: *Rebook CrossFit Shoes*
After Optimization: *Reebok Women’s CrossFit Shoes, Black Leather (Size 7)*

**Generate Product Type**
Google recommends you to include more granular categories as it classifies your product more precisely.
For example, Books > Non-Fiction > Sports > Baseball is better than Baseball. 
Our service will try and create a detailed classification using various attributes of your product.
Example: Women's Shoes > Reebok Shoes > CrossFit Shoes > Black Shoes > Leather Shoes

Note: This optimization is optional, and you can directly submit your feed as it is to Google Merchant center.
