Eligible local products are those that are eligible to show in local inventory ads and free product listings. If you already provide inventory data for these products, you can start serving ads and local listings by following the other requirements listed below.
How it works
A product is considered eligible when it meets 2 conditions:
- You’re providing inventory corresponding to a location that's published as a Business Profile.
- We've approved the product.
Note: Products that only have out of stock inventory aren’t eligible, unless your Merchant Center account has been approved for pick up later for Shopping ads or pick up later for inventory ads.
Benefits
If all your products are eligible, you can serve local inventory ads and free local listings when users shop for these products. You get the chance to drive more traffic to your store when a customer is shopping for your products nearby.
