Why are GTINs and product identifiers important for feed visibility?

GTINs (UPC/EAN) help platforms match products to catalog entries and improve discoverability. Without identifiers, products may be disapproved or show reduced visibility. Steps:

  • Audit for missing GTINs and source them from manufacturers
  • Use SKU normalization for internal matching
  • For custom or handmade items, use structured descriptions and brand identifiers

Monitor feed diagnostics and compliance reports from merchant centers.
