After you upload the local product inventory feed and set a feed schedule, what should you do next?
- request inventory vertification
- upload locations in Business Profile
- enable Local Inventory Ads program
- create a Local Inventory Ads campaign
Explanation:
Once you’ve uploaded the local product inventory feed and set a feed schedule, the next step should be to request inventory verification. This crucial process ensures that the information provided in your inventory feed aligns accurately with the actual products available in your local store. Inventory verification involves Google verifying the accuracy and completeness of your inventory data by matching it with the products physically present in your store. This step is essential for maintaining the reliability and relevance of your Local Inventory Ads, as it ensures that potential customers receive accurate information about product availability when they view your ads. Without inventory verification, discrepancies between your inventory feed and the actual products in your store could lead to customer dissatisfaction and undermine the effectiveness of your advertising efforts. While enabling the Local Inventory Ads program and creating a Local Inventory Ads campaign are important subsequent steps, they should only be undertaken after inventory verification to ensure that the ads reflect the true availability of products in your store. Uploading locations in Business Profile, although relevant for local advertising, does not directly address the need to verify inventory accuracy and should therefore be done after inventory verification. Hence, the correct immediate action to take after uploading the local product inventory feed and setting a feed schedule is indeed to request inventory verification.
