Use account labels in Comparison Shopping Service Center

Use account labels to classify and organize CSS domains or merchant accounts into meaningful groups. For example, you might create customized labels to indicate the market of specific accounts, or set up tiering for your merchant accounts. Once account labels have been added, you can use them to sort or filter accounts. In addition to creating and using your own labels, you can also use automatic labels which are automatically applied to your accounts. Remember labels are for your reference only and will not surface in Merchant Center.

Your labels

You can create and use labels to group merchants based on category, performance, size, or other aspects.

Some possible labels might be:

• Top 5 strategic merchants
• Top 3 revenue-generating merchants
• Merchants added in 2019
• John Smith’s accounts
• Fashion industry accounts
• Self-service accounts

Automatic labels

To help you manage your associated merchant accounts, Google dynamically assigns a set of automatic labels for you. These labels allow you to easily hone in on the accounts that matter most, and can be used for filtering views in CSS Center. Automatic labels are applied on the CSS domain level.

The following automatic labels are available:

Top 10: Account is one of your top 10 accounts (standalone, MCA sub-account, or marketplace) with respect to paid clicks over the last 30 days.

80% of clicks: Top accounts that together are responsible for 80% of overall CSS domain paid clicks over the last 30 days.

Not active: Accounts that have not received any paid clicks in the past 30 days.
