This app seems to tick over ok in the background, I keep the spend low and leave it and it seems to grow momentum the longer it stays active. But i wouldn't expect too much?

This app works as described, but I have 2 issues.
1- Google makes it almost impossible to set up a feed and I had to resort to online forums and calling some friends to help me out. You literally have to jump through hoops to get this set up, especially the FREE listings.
2- Support is not good, period. I used their support link and got a response in exactly 24 hours, not horrible but not good either. I then sent a follow up question, and have been waiting since. I will start searching the web for the solution as the support here is of no help.
But once you get this down, Im sure its a very good app. Thus the 3 stars.

Runs slow, hard to navigate. Otherwise does what it states. Product approval incredibly slow. https://highzer0electronics.com/

It is a little confusing at first but eventually you can figure out most things. I imagine it may be a lot of trial and error . I like the way that you are able to link to various social media platforms.

Hi there! My name is Jonathan and I'm a member of Shopify's support team.

Thank you so much for leaving us a review. We really appreciate hearing from our merchants!

It can definitely take some time to see results after setting up the Google Shopping application and creating a Smart Shopping campaign.

It can take up to fifteen days for your ads to start appearing across Google's surfaces. Google's optimization period takes thirty days in total for its algorithm to learn where, when, and how to place your products.

You should start seeing some impressions once the fifteen-day period ends, but the campaign will not be fully optimized until the end of the thirty days.

I'm going to follow-up with you via e-mail and see if you have anymore questions or need any help with the process. Look out for the e-mail!

Talk soon,

Jonathan E. | Shopify Support Guru

We just installed this app at: https://mydentalwig.com/ . Only 3 stars because it's easy to install. We want the app's developer to improve it based on negative reviews, before we start running our google ads.
Please keep us posted.
Thanks

Update as of 10/22/2021 - I was able to get it sorted out with google and my account is back up but it took weeks and many headache calls to google to resolve the issue. My review I wrote is only towards google not shopify in any way just to be clear that shopify is a great website that I love to use and I have no issues with shopify at all only google. Same here on October 7th my account was suspended due to policy violation: Misrepresentation. I have called Google until my head is about to explode they wont give me any reasons to why my account was suspended how can I fix something that I have no idea what is wrong. I am at a loss of words and now I see lots of other people are in the same boat as me. If anyone has any idea I would love to hear from them. machineryone.com I was told if I pay $750.00 I could be be unsuspended.

Hey there,

We definitely want to make sure that you get the clarification you need in regards to the Misrepresentation message you are getting. Although Google is best to direct you with this, I'll be sending an email out to you shortly to explain some details that could help. I look forward to communicating with you there.
