Yet again struggling with a new USA Google shopping campaign
Products are showing in other countries but not in my own country in USA in shopping page.
How to check Google shopping search results in Google search?
You can use the ad preview tool inside of Google Ads, just set the location where you want to test.
Or you can use 3rd party tool http://isearchfrom.com/.

More on reddit.comHi all! So this is the 4th attempt at trying to make money with Google Ads in the USA. Currently making zero.
Bit of context first!
We are a 3 year old successful fashion brand (tall mens clothing) with a 6.4% sitewide UK conversion rate (helped by many low funnel conversions from a successful PMax campaign). Even our USA conversion rate is a respectable 3.2% (organic search and direct / repeat customers). So the issue is not pricing, offers, UX and landing pages.
We tried PMax three times in the USA over the last 2 years and failed each time due to lack of conversion data / unwilling to pump ridiculous $$$$ for data.
So our 4th and possibly final attempt is with a manual CPC google shopping campaign.
It's been running almost 2 weeks.
0 conversions 80 clicks Cost £84.21 CPC £1.05 Max CPC £1.20 CTR 1.2% Search impression share 89.87% Search Absolute top impression share 11.65% Targeting 8 eastern states eg new York, connecticut , Maryland etc as we can deliver to these states within 3 days.
Our best sellers are t-shirts. One of our tshirt variants (grey) is getting the vast majority of clicks.
Search term report shows pretty much relevant clicks except some clicks for "shirts" instead of "t shirts" which we have now negated (as shirt includes tshirt and other styles in the USA).
Our highest converting keywords in UK pmax include tall slim tshirts, mens tall tshirts etc and we are getting clicks on those in the USA campaign.
What am I missing? Could it be that competitors are running Pmax and getting the best traffic? Or is our max CPC too low, therefore rarely getting 1st shopping position? I've run tests and see our ads appearing in 4th - 8th position.
Is the 1st shopping position still the highest converting?
Appreciate your insights. Obviously was targeting a 400% ROAS / approx £13.00 CAC like the UK, but so far that's way out of reach.
I have uploaded products to the merchant, and all the products are approved. There is literally no error or no warning for the products that are approved. Even the shipping policies and return policies are very clear and precise, and they have no issues. My PROBLEM is that my store is operating from the USA, but still, my products are not showing up on the shopping page of Google. BUT, if I search from other countries using VPN, all my products show up and rank at the top. I don't have any paid ads; it's all just free listings. Even when I enter the same product name in the USA and another country, it will show on top in the other country but not in the US. It used to show a few months ago, and even then my products used to show top results, but now they don't show at all. One more thing: when I search "product x" it will not show, but when I search "product x [my company name]," it will show. I have checked in the data sources also that all countries are enabled. I literally have checked everything. I reached out to Google but as usual, their automated message came: This is a third-party configuration issue. But it's not. I am uploading XML Feed to the Google Merchant Center. Even Rich Test Results do not show any problems with the feed. This is frustrating. We are not getting any sales. Please help me out... Thank you.
