I have found many of your posts on SEO/Google very useful indeed. I found this one through the Etsy forums. Thanks for your hard work on this blog.

You need to take the items title out of the search page address to see all items for the shop, here's your webpage address then the one without the search terms: http://www.google.com/products?q=vintage+button+ring+krishenka&authorid=6967771&cdn=Etsy+-+Krishenka http://www.google.com/products?q=&authorid=6967771&cdn=Etsy+-+Krishenka I saw 44 items from your shop with your link, 95 with the second one.

You’re welcome! There is a free shipping option that can be done during upload that Google Merchant is ok with, but putting it in your listings is considered promotional text and that’s not allowed in Google Merchant. Etsy does not have their feed set up to utilize the free shipping option, so put it in your tags if you want to show up in Google Shopping, just not the first three tags.

hi. Thank you for the post! very informative! I have a question. As it was said google merchant doesnt like “free shipping”. But when I go to the google products search I can choose the checkmark for free shipping. I dont understand that?

Vicki–you should be able to see your items on the US version of Google Products–that’s here:

http://www.google.com/products

I don’t know when feedback will be showing with all Etsy seller results, hopefully soon.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together for us, it’s very helpful for me as someone who was not aware of Google Merchant and syndication prior to learning about it on Etsy.

Thank you again. I really am most grateful. I only de and re activated today, so I’ll assume the rest are to follow.

I think I have grasped that the feed is now Etsy’s, but I’m not sure whether that means I won’t be able to ’see’ any results anywhere? Does point 12 above apply? And, if so, where should I be looking for it to show up?

I shall now rush off and look at my items….

While remaining very, very grateful for your continued patience!
