I am confused about publish to google

I have a silver membership and have subscribed to the Superior platform at 16%. So far I am not seeing any selling action. I have updated all of my listings to try and conform to Google standards but it is not showing very many views by Google.
Most of my items are one of a kind and some don’t have a brand name and most of them have don’t have any bar codes as they are pre-owned. So if I don’t have any of these how can I change this so my items will get views by Google?

First off..as long as the items are making it into google shopping (GPS), the percentage has little to do with anything. The Percentage, just allows more money to be used to make clickable ads and allows submission to more places. (google organic is the regular search and everyone is there). If the items are not making it to GPS, 6% or 16% is not going to change that

Secondly, you should check to see how many of your items are actually making it to GPS.

My Bonanza
Center of page
Link that says
Feed Diagnostics
Click on your Account ID for US
and it will take you to a list of your items in google shopping (GPS)..using your booth name I see a few but not many

Also while on the page go ahead and Initiate a feed status review
to get a sample listing of things that may be causing any problems

Also, if your items are being submitted then the attributes will show in Search optimize. If they are not then it will also, say they are being suppressed..so it is good to see if they are making it

Finally, not having all the information, especially for Collectibles or Vintage items is okay, as long as the [[identifier_[URL removed] attribute is used and bonanza is good about including it for items without the attributes

to check this go to
Update Items as a Group
Search Optimize
and check your attributes

Truthfully, GPS is really not geared heavily towards the vintage items/antiques or older items (People tend to use search engines for thes items and not shopping sites.

They are there, but it is more geared especially now days for the cell phone and on the go shoppers…and not for the cruise the internet shoppers
