Google is killing the Google Shopping app - Ars Technica
April 12, 2021 - The Google Shopping app launched only 19 months ago, when it took over for another Google shopping shutdown, Google Express. The Google Shopping service has been a rough proposition for users—starting in 2012, it has been nothing but an ad vector that exclusively showed "paid listings" and no organic results whatsoever.

r/PPC on Reddit: GA4 or Google Shopping App Purchase for Tracking Shopify Conversions?
August 6, 2024 -
Hey all,
We've had both Google Shopping App Purchase and GA4 conversion actions for purchases on multiple accounts and are suspecting that we've been double counting.
So I have 3 questions:
Would we be double counting in this case (the values on both conversion action are pretty close).
If we make one of them secondary would this solve our issue or would we have to delete or pause one?
GA4 or Google Shopping App Purchase, which is more accurate/reliable? I believe Google Shopping App Purchase is created automatically for Shopify stores that have the Google & YouTube app installed (correct me if I'm wrong) therefore wouldn't this be more accurate than GA4 trying to sniff all the data indirectly?
Thanks!!

Yes, it's possible you are double counting if both conversion actions are tracking the same event. This can happen if both are recording a purchase and reporting it separately. As for your next question, making one of them secondary can help, as secondary conversions don’t count towards your main conversion metrics. However, to ensure no double counting, you might consider pausing or deleting one of the conversion actions. The Google Shopping App Purchase conversion is typically created automatically and can be very accurate for tracking purchases directly from your Shopify store. GA4 is also reliable, but since it gathers data indirectly, it might not always capture every event as precisely as the direct integration with the Google Shopping App. Does this make sense for your case?
Setting up Google Ads goals - what is "Google Shopping App Search"?
“Google Shopping App Search” typically refers to users interacting with your products within the Google Shopping app or tab specifically when they search for products there and view your listings. It’s not about your website’s search bar or organic Google searches leading to your site. This goal helps track product-level engagement directly from the Shopping platform, which is useful for optimizing Shopping campaigns. More on reddit.com

November 18, 2024What is the deal with Google Shopping free listings? Unconvinced anyone's looking at them...
Selling on eBay or any marketplace is not the same as selling on your own site. People are a lot more likely to buy off a marketplace like eBay or Amazon because there is the built in trust factor. You are comparing apple's to orange's on your site vs eBay/Amazon..ect. For Free listings, could be a host of reasons why you get no clicks. For most clients free listings is a rounding error and not something we focus on. Paid shopping ads is where the money is. More on reddit.com

So I'm just beginning to set up Google Ads for my small business, and one of my Page View goals is "Google Shopping App Search" - what action is it defined by? See screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/1EWV9ZK
"Page View" and "View Item" are straightforward, but does search mean searching via the search bar on my website? Entering my website via a Google Search?
TIA!

Google Shopping App Search means someone searched for a product in the Google Shopping tab or app and clicked your product. It’s not from your website or regular Google Search. This goal is auto-tracked if you run Shopping ads.

Any suggestions on alternatives to Google shopping? I’m in the same boat. It’s so hard to find good quality items, all the suggestions are mostly Amazon or Temu 😵💫. I’m in my phase where I’m sick of buying bad quality everything and just want better quality items that’ll last longer. I thought DuckDuckGo might have some better suggestions but it seems almost the same as Google.
