How to remove unwanted text from Google Shopping product title

Technical Q&A
1

Hi,

I’ve been trying to remove unwanted variation, size information, and my store name from the product title in Google Shopping but I can’t figure out how. For example, the title shows up as

Product Name By my-store-name | one size | infant | unisex

I want to remove “By my-store-name | one size | infant | unisex”

I only want the title to be the product name.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

You can use feed rules. Specifically search and replace

For example search for my-store-name and leave replace blank, and it will get removed.

Or you can update it using a spreadsheet using a supplement feed

Or you can manually edit products in Google Merchant Center > Products > all products > click on your product > click on the edit icon in the top left corner.

I am going to manually edit some Product Titles in my Google Merchant account.

I have a question though:

Will Shopify keep auto-syncing and changing my product titles back automatically?

As it is, the product title is created in my google merchant center automatically by Shopify, whenever, I create a new product).

Does Shopify only sync to Google Merchant center when the product is created?

Does it sync every time a product is even EDITED after?

Or does it just sync automatically every few hours / days, even if NO changes are made to the product on Shopify?

I’m just afraid that after I manually edit a product title directly on Google Merchant Center, Shopify will auto sync, and change it back :slightly_smiling_face:

Should I Edit my Product Titles through the actual Google Channel, through my Shopify Admin instead???

Thanks for any help.
