For Retail Stores
Why is my store not ranking for products and categories it sells?
Direct answer
Connect products with local intent across Google, Merchant sources and the website.
Why this matters
The decision behind the question
Shoppers discover stores through categories, products, brands, availability, distance, promotions and customer experience.
