In Advertising, each product gets a label (Heroes, Sidekicks, Zombies, Villains). Such a label has to be in a Custom Label in the Merchant Center to be able to use them in your Google Ads campaigns. To do this, 2 steps need to be taken:
Adding the Producthero supplemental source in the Merchant Center
Selecting a Custom Label for the Producthero Advertising Labels
Watch our video explaining how to do this, or follow the steps in this guide.
Step 1: Adding the Producthero supplemental source in the Merchant Center
It is necessary to create a Producthero supplemental source, as the optimizations you do in the Producthero Platform, will be put in your Merchant Center through this Producthero supplemental source.
Note: The Producthero supplemental source covers data of all tools, meaning that you only need to create a Producthero supplemental source once (for each Merchant Feed label /language).
