Google: Fixing Google Base Feed Errors

Google has recently made changes to the product data requirements for Google Base and you may have started receiving notifications of errors in your Google Base Feed.

You will receive these messages even if only one item has an error. Most of the time the errors will be related to missing product information, like product number or description. Items with errors will not be uploaded to Google Base.

Here's what you need do:

1. Click the link in the email you receive from Google. The link will look something like this:

For more details on the status of your data feed, go to

This page will show you which lines in the data have information that is missing.

2. To view the data in your Google Base Feed file, log into your Site Manager, go to "settings" > Google Base Feed and click to submit the feed.

You can then right-click to download the file to your computer, then open it in a spreadsheet program such at Excel.

Check the spreadsheet lines that were in the error report in step 1, then update those products with the missing information.

Note: If you have a large amount of products and are unable to do the manual feed in step 2, let us know and we will provide an alternate link.
