Google AI-Powered Shopping Ads study guide
Google AI-Powered Shopping Ads · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Shopping ads certification is one of the Google Ads certifications offered through Skillshop. Google describes these as professional accreditations for individuals who demonstrate proficiency in basic and advanced aspects of Google Ads, and this particular one sits inside the product area covering Shopping campaigns. It is aimed at people who plan, build, and optimise Shopping campaigns: retail marketers, agency specialists, and freelancers who want a printable, personalised certificate that shows current and prospective clients they are a certified online advertising professional. It also counts toward the certifications requirement for Google Partner and Premier Partner status, which matters if your agency is chasing or keeping a badge. The assessment is multiple choice, delivered in the language you choose from the 22 available, and it draws on the whole Shopping surface rather than one narrow feature. Expect questions that test judgement, not recall of menu paths: how product data quality shapes eligibility and performance, how campaign structure and bidding interact with feed attributes, how to diagnose disapprovals and low impression share, and how to read reporting well enough to decide what to change next. Topics on this exam: Shopping ads. The Google AI-Powered Shopping Ads study guide has 1 section and about 477 words.
01Shopping ads: feed, structure, AI bidding, and diagnostics
This domain tests how Google AI turns a Merchant Center feed into Shopping ads, and how campaign structure, product data, bidding, and assets control that automation. Expect questions on feed attributes, product groups, campaign priority, Performance Max asset groups, audience signals, search themes, target ROAS, and Merchant Center diagnostics. The product feed supplies title, description, link, image link, price, availability, brand, GTIN, condition, and category. Required attributes must be present and accurate; price and availability must match the landing page.
