How to terrify your competition by improving the performance of your Performance Max, Google Shopping, Bing and Meta (facebook / Instagram) campaigns? 👻
Sortilège 1: The art of crossed-out prices 🪄
Dive into the darkness of pricing on your site and acquisition channels. The rates you charge are crucial, sometimes even decisive. To unleash the power of crossed-out prices, you need to master and utilize the following attributes of your feed:
- sale_price
- sale_price_effective_date (Google or Facebook)
E-commerce wizards, discover the magic of bewitched prices! These attributes can be adjusted for your Google and Facebook campaigns. Lowering prices is one thing, but using the power of crossed-out prices is what will charm consumers and boost your sales tenfold!
Communicating your prices effectively is the key to your success, but be careful not to fall under the spell of obscurity…🔮
Spell 2: Unveil Diabolical Halloween Deals 🪄
- Use the Promotions configuration tool in the Marketing tab of the Merchant Center.
- Use the Merchant Center’s Promotion Flow for a touch of mystery.
Sortilège 3: Turn your rejected products into Halloween treasures! 🪄
Spell 4: Improve the Quality of your Halloween Product Images and Visuals 🪄
Don’t be fooled by poor-quality or too-small images! Like an evil shadow, this warning frequently haunts Merchant Center diagnostics.
Find out more about enchantments and the criteria for Google Shopping :
- Images of non-apparel products: must be at least 100 x 100 pixels in size.
- Images of clothing products: must be at least 250 x 250 pixels.

AUTOMATIC IMAGE ENHANCEMENT POWERS :
The Merchant Center also offers a mystical incantation called “automatic image enhancement”. It won’t turn your images into pumpkins, but it can clean up imperfections automatically.
Google notice “If you enable the automatic removal tool, Google will try to automatically correct these images by removing the overlay promotional elements.” ✨
Here’s an example of automatic image enhancement:
To do this, go to your Merchant Center and activate the “automatic image enhancement” option:
For Facebook, the rules are somewhat different. Here are the optimizations and quality requirements for the Facebook News Feed, for images with a link:
- 479 x 246 pixels on computer
- and a minimum width of 320 pixels on mobile
- However, we recommend a size of 1080 x 1350 pixels.
Spell 5: Enchant your product titles for magical optimization 🪄
Your product title is the ultimate attribute, the magic potion of your catalog. Optimizing it is the absolute must in your Halloween preparations.
- The Master Keyword: The main keyword, the key to your success, should take pride of place in the title, preferably in the first few words.
- Product Type: If your property is a “knife case”, make it the crest of your title. Not only is it obvious, but more importantly, it’s your very description that sells the dream.
- Brand, color, size or even gender in your title elixir: These elements, though present elsewhere, are here to help you blend in with your future followers’ searches.
- 150 Characters, the Art of Concision: Your charm has a 150-character limit. So be precise and detailed at the same time.
- The Optimization Grimoire: Know that working these title incantations can transform your impressions and reveal your visibility like never before!
