Is there a way to make sure that your items have their own listing on Google Shopping? My listings always seem to be mixed in with a group of other sellers. Don’t know if we have to be members or spend more on advertising but it gets frustrating when a customer has to dig into listings that have 20 different sellers of the same product.

In order to have your items posted on Google Shopping at all, you have to fill in several traits… usually Brand, MPN and UPC, though that varies a little depending on the item category.
Google REQUIRES this so that they group all of the same items together into a “catalog”. So, items that you are selling along with other sellers who have the same item will be grouped together (though the occasional item might stand alone in Google’s database. This is especially true of sellers who obtain their items from a drop shipper.

NO that is the way google returns searches now..the only time your item will come back separately and not lumped, is when it is the only result of a particular search. (this does not mean it is the only item available, it just means the the searchers wording matched only one result)
I like the old way, where all results were separate..though it gave many pages of results, at least I could see all the results..sometimes the grouping are not always the same items..(caused by upc errors or some other reason)

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
