Best practices
These best practices can help you go beyond the basic requirements to optimize your product data for performance.
- Use a stable URL. The URL that you include shouldn’t change unless your landing page moves. For example, don’t use URLs with timestamps or parts that could change each time you submit your product data.
- Pre-select the correct variant. Link to your landing page with the correct variant selected. Still remember to submit your variant details through the appropriate attributes such as color
[color], size[size], and age group[age_group]. - Use Schema.org microdata. Use microdata to indicate how elements on your landing page correspond with your product data. Specifically, make sure that your microdata matches the variant displayed on your landing page. Learn more about microdata.
