Google Product Review Feeds

I'd like to have CCP create a XML feed of product reviews that I can upload to Google shopping: https://developers.google.com/product-review-feeds/

Will this feature be part of the the next CCP release?

Thanks,

Michael

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

We could do something like this in the next release.  It will require getting a unique URL available for each review, which is fairly trivial.  I'm not seeing a pointer to a product URL in the feed.  Does Google link back to sites at all who use these feed types?

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

Yes, there is a link back to the merchant. Here's an example of how Google displays the product reviews in Google Shopping:

http://www.google.com/shopping/product/ … CGwQ2SswAA

If you click the merchant's name it links to the merchant's product listing on their site.

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

Anything (well, almost) which makes google pay more attention to you has to be worthwhile :-)

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

Hi,

This is pretty awesome tool but what do you think about panda and penguin penalties ? No one know exactly what these update involve will that affect data feed?

Could you look into why I get this message from google analytics : View mysite (Master view) is configured for Ecommerce, but no recent transaction data is being received. Your site may not be tagged for Ecommerce.

Do I need a particular setting to receive Ecommerce conversion data ? So that I Can get details about customers shopping analysis , Products performance and so on.

Thanks

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

It sounds to me like Google wants you to hook up your adwords account.

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

In order to get ecommerce information through Google, you need an adwords account.  They will give you an adwords id which you'll enter into the store's System > Component > Settings > Search Engine Optimization function.  Once you do that, you should start receiving ecommerce statistics on Google.  Plus, that will get your feeds in Google shopping, which now requires adwords to fully list products.

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

1. I'm interested.  Reviews are very important to shoppers and probably one of the reasons Amazon does so well.

2. We only have one review on our website which shows up under a single component (our products are made up of 3 components).  I'd like to create a new page that does nothing but list all of our reviews in a single place.  How can I do that?

Thanks!

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

Contact the custom shop on that one.  We can build an HTML page which pulls review info from the database and displays it with links back to the relevant products.

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

i am trying to implement adwords dynamic retargeting on my website and need to retrieve some dynamic variables from each product page that i can use to track page visit.

How do I reference regular price, Product ID for each product so that I can use it to generate Feed for my dynamic retargetting?

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

What i want to do is to populate this google adword Tag with variables picked from each product page.  i.e store the
ecomm_prodid: 'REPLACE_WITH_VALUE',    Store Product ID here
ecomm_pagetype: 'REPLACE_WITH_VALUE', Store whether it is category page, product page etc
ecomm_totalvalue: 'REPLACE_WITH_VALUE', Store product unit price here

};

var google_conversion_id = 971964897;
var google_custom_params = window.google_tag_params;

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

In that case, all product information, if you're on a product page, will be available in $this->globals('ecom.prod_proddetail').  Load up that variable, and if populated, it will be an array with all the info you're looking for.  Do a print_r() to figure out what you need.

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

Like this:

Code:

$prod = $this->globals('ecom.prod_proddetail');
$id = $prod['id'];

Or to see everything so you can pick/choose:

Code:

$prod = $this->globals('ecom.prod_proddetail');
print "<PRE>"; print_r($prod); print "</PRE>";

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

Look at your source.  Does 'var y = "productid"'?  If so, there's a problem with your JS.  If not, are you accessing this on a product detail page?  I would think you'd only call that JS function if (!(empty($prod))) {} so I'm assuming you're checking this on a page where $prod is not populated (a non-product-detail page).

Re: Google Product Review Feeds

Thanks Nick.  I have been able to pick the product id from the product detail page.  Now the next assignment is to pick the category ID.  is it?

$cat = $this->globals('ecom.cat_catshow');
$catid = $cat['id'];


Now how do I identify customers who placed order on my website?

my main assingment is to identify the various pages customer got to and pick variables based on the pages.

1. is the page Category, Product detail , checkout , or others.?
