Data Feed Optimization for Google Product Search

How do I populate recommended or required attributes?

Google require a condition value of 'New', 'Used', or 'Refurbished' for each product. They also strongly recommend Brand and Product Type values.

You have two choices for populating these fields. One is to supply a default value that applies to all items, and the other is to supply a field name from your Yahoo Store Catalog. Go to the “Manage Feed > Define Fields” page. Click ‘Edit’ for the field, and then enter the default value and/or catalog field.

If you do not have a catalog field, then we suggest you provide default values as follows:

Brand Default - Enter your store name, e.g. Acme Art Supply, Foo Widgets, Bar Electronics, various, etc.
Condition Default - Enter 'New', 'Used', or 'Refurbished'
Product Type Default - Look up an appropriate category on the Product Type Attribute page
