Changelog

We are incredibly excited to announce the launch of the Productrise Customer API (v1)! You can now pull your aggregated Google Shopping SERP data directly into BigQuery, Looker Studio, dbt, Hex, or any reporting stack you love, no scraping required.

What you can do with the API

• List your properties and discover their slugs programmatically
• Pull top sellers by listing count for any date range
• Track total products observed in your tracked queries
• Measure share of voice based on your seller name
• Filter by query or query group, and split organic vs paid listings

Built for production workflows

Bearer token authentication, a consistent response envelope, clear error codes, and a generous rate limit of 120 requests per minute. The API is available on the Growth plan and above.

Getting started

1. Head to Profile → API Tokens and create your first token
2. Call GET /api/v1/properties to list everything you can access, then hit any of the metrics endpoints

Every endpoint, parameter, error code, and copy-paste example is documented in the full API reference: https://productrise.app/resources/api-reference

This is just v1. If you need per-property token scopes, async exports, webhooks, or OpenAPI/SDK support, send us a note at hello@productrise.app with your use case. Happy querying!

The dashboard was originally built before supplemental feeds, Merchant API connections, matched sellers, knowledge panels, sponsored product tracking, and many other features existed. It was overdue for a refresh.

The updated dashboard surfaces more of the data that matters, giving you a clearer picture of your feed health and performance across all your connected sources.

Getting to the right place is faster now. The new layout is structured around how you actually use Productrise today, not how it worked at launch. New filtering options let you cut through the noise and focus on what's relevant, whether that's a specific feed, seller, or product type.

This update is live for all users. If you have feedback on the new dashboard, we'd love to hear it.

If you do any local ecommerce SEO, your store location impacts organic shopping visibility more than you probably think. Google a keyword from New York City and the "in stores nearby" block shows stores close to New York. Run the same search from Tacoma, Washington, and the results can look completely different. If your physical store isn't near the searcher, you're invisible in that block.

Google has been pushing this harder since 2020, when COVID made local shopping a priority. In the US especially, you now see it on almost every product SERP. That's a problem if you're tracking rankings at the country level only, because national tracking can make locally dependent stores seem invisible.

As of today, city-level query tracking is available to all Productrise users. You could already track any country in the world. Now you can go deeper: track your queries from any location that matters to you, and see exactly how your products rank in that specific local SERP.

For a full breakdown of how "in stores nearby" results work and how to track them, read the full blog post here.

Google's Merchant Center UI leaves a lot to be desired. Getting a clear picture of whether your feed improvements or organic shopping optimizations are actually moving the needle has never been straightforward. That changes today.

Period-over-period comparison, right inside Productrise

The improved Merchant Center Analytics page now lets you drill down into your data and compare any period directly against the previous one. No more guessing whether your optimizations are working.

Here's what you can do

• Filter data for a specific group of products
• Select a custom date range
• See aggregated performance for your filters compared to the previous period

So if you optimized a certain group of products, you can isolate exactly that data, pick your date range, and get a clear before-and-after view. Reporting progress, made easier.

Not all products are equal when it comes to optimization potential. A product only sold by you gives you full influence over how Google understands it. A product sold by dozens of other sellers? That's a different story — and now you can actually see the difference.

As of March 19, 2026, Productrise tracks how often you're the sole seller of a product versus sharing a position with other sellers. This data shows up in both your Product Rankings reports and Query Groups, so you can prioritize your optimization efforts where they'll have the most impact.

Please note that multiple seller data is only tracked from March 19, 2026 onwards.

Log in and take a look at your competitive landscape — it might change how you approach feed optimization.

Understanding what makes a product title rank on Google just got a lot easier. The new Product Titles Report gives you a data-driven breakdown of the titles showing up in Google's product carousels for your tracked keywords — so you can optimize smarter.

What's included

Product Title Volatility

Track how much product titles change over time in the search results for your keyword groups. This is especially useful for:

• Monitoring whether Google has picked up your own title changes
• Spotting when competitors are actively testing new titles
• Understanding how quickly Google adapts to updates pushed via supplemental feeds

Product Title Insights

A scatter plot visualizing the top 100 most frequently used words across ranking product titles. The X axis shows how often a word appears, while the Y axis reflects the average position score of products featuring that word — helping you identify which words Google tends to reward for your specific keywords.

You can now use the Google Merchant API to track and audit your products directly from Google Merchant Center, with no XML feed required. Connect your GMC account to a property and Productrise reads your product catalog and runs the same feed audits you already use, with a few important extras.

What you get

• No XML needed. Use product data straight from Merchant Center. No feed URL to maintain, no middleman feed provider, no export or import steps.
• Same audits, same engine. Create a "GMC feed" in Productrise, pick the products you want, and run feed audits (including website checks and AI recommendations) on that snapshot. Re-auditing re-fetches from the API so you're always working with current data.
• Merchant Center Analytics inside Productrise. We've added a dedicated Merchant Center Analytics page. Once your GMC account is connected, you can view performance data (impressions, clicks, and more) right alongside your existing Productrise insights.

This is the start of a new phase for Productrise. We're building more on top of the Merchant API as it grows, especially with Google's Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) rolling out, so you can optimize for organic and conversational commerce from one place.

How to get started

Merchant Center integration is available to all users on the Growth plan or higher. Only property owners can connect a GMC account to a property. Once connected, everyone with access to that property can view the Merchant Center Analytics page.

To connect, go to Properties, open a property you own, and click Connect GMC. Complete the Google sign-in and consent, then pick the Merchant Center account you want to link. After that, you can create GMC feeds and open Merchant Center Analytics straight away.

A note on transparency

We don't change your product data. Productrise only reads data via the Merchant API today. We do not create, update, or delete products in your Merchant Center. We ask for read and write scope so we can later offer optional features (such as applying Supplemental Feed optimizations via the API). Any write action will only ever happen with your explicit consent.

We don't store your GMC data long-term. We use short-term caching to keep the app fast, but we do not store or reuse your Merchant Center analytics data. It is loaded in your browser for the Analytics page only.

If you have questions or ideas, reach us at hello@productrise.app.

We've improved two feed-audit website checks so they work in tandem and give clearer, more actionable results. Structured Data Check validates that your product pages have valid JSON-LD with a Product schema and an offers object, which is exactly what Google recommends for Merchant Center and organic product visibility. If the check finds no structured data, invalid markup, or parse errors, it flags the product so you can fix the page. Price Match Check then uses that same structured data to compare the price (and currency) in your feed with the price in the page's JSON-LD, supporting both single offers and aggregate offers. If the data is missing or the price or currency doesn't match, you get a clear warning or critical issue.

Together they answer two key questions: "Is the product marked up correctly for Google?" (Structured Data) and "Does the price on the page match what we're sending in the feed?" (Price Match). Both checks share one parser, so when structured data is missing or broken, Structured Data Check reports it and Price Match Check correctly reports that it cannot compare. No double-parsing, no conflicting results.

Feed audits just got a meaningful upgrade across the board. Most notably, we have introduced a Feed Audit Score, a single 0-100% quality metric that gives you an at-a-glance view of how well your feed performed across all audit checks. The score is calculated by averaging results across every issue type, where critical issues count against you fully, warnings partially, and passed checks contribute the maximum. It appears in both the Feed Audit Stats card on your audit report and in the Score column of your Audit History table.

When you run a new audit on an imported feed, ProductRise now re-downloads your XML and syncs the latest product data before the audit kicks off, so you are always auditing what is actually in your feed right now, not a cached snapshot from weeks ago. Older audits remain unchanged, giving you an accurate historical record of how your feed looked at each point in time.

We have also introduced better handling for removed products. If a product was part of your original feed import but no longer appears in the XML at the time of an audit, it is marked as removed rather than deleted and excluded from product counts to keep your metrics clean. If it comes back in a future XML download, it is automatically reactivated and updated. You will also now see a "Removed from Feed" count in the Feed Audit Stats section of your audit report (when applicable), with a tooltip explaining what it means.

On the reliability side, if the XML download or sync runs into trouble, the audit will not fail outright. It will fall back to your existing feed data and note the issue in the report. We have also removed a locking mechanism that could block future audits from running if a previous job was stuck or unexpectedly killed, so you should see fewer cases where audits get stuck in a pending state.

We've been working on a big update behind the scenes. It's mostly administrative and a bit boring for most users, but it unlocks something important: flexible scaling.

Some Productrise users have needs that go beyond our regular plans. For example, an agency managing a single client with a 100,000-product feed couldn't do that with our Lite, Growth, or Agency subscriptions. The limits just weren't designed for it.

That changes today. Add-ons are now available to all paid users. You can pick and choose the exact capacity you need—more properties, more queries, more products per feed audit—and scale up or down as you onboard new clients or projects. No more being locked into a plan that's either too small or pays for capacity you don't use.

Need the details? We've documented everything about how add-ons work, pricing, and compatibility on our subscription add-ons resource page.

You're tracking product carousels, optimizing feeds, and watching competitors. But when someone searches for a specific product like "Garmin Vivoactive 6 Smartwatch," Google often shows a Product Knowledge Panel instead of a regular carousel.

These panels display detailed product information, seller options, prices, reviews, and specifications. Until now, tracking them meant manual checking or hoping your analytics would catch the traffic. Not anymore.

What you can now track

Productrise automatically tracks Product Knowledge Panels for all your queries, giving you visibility into:

• Which sellers appear in the panel for your products
• Price positioning across competing sellers
• Review scores and availability status
• How often panels appear vs. regular carousels

This means you can finally see how Google presents your specific products and which sellers dominate when buyers search with product-specific intent. Read the full article to learn more about Product Knowledge Panels and why they matter for your organic visibility.

Productrise is built to scale with you. This includes multi-tenancy and multi-property account sharing across your team. This was already possible, but as of today, it's better, more customizable and easier.

Property owners decide who gets access. You can choose between 3 options:

• No access at all
• Read only access
• Read & Write access

What's the difference here?

Users that have only received "Read only" access for a property will not be able to:

• Add, edit or remove queries
• Create, import, edit or remove product feeds
• Create new feed audits
• Generate supplemental feeds

"Read only" users are still able to:

• View all the same pages that the property owner can view
• Export all the data from the pages (queries, feed audits, supplemental feeds)

Some things that are good to know

• Users must always accept their invitation before they can access properties. If you haven't received the invitation email, check the email address used, and make sure to check spam folders!
• For property owners: your subscription plan determines the amount of "team seats" you can share. One seat represents a user account (email address). You can share access to 10 properties to a single user account, and it will not take up additional seats.
• The property owner determines the features you can access. If you received access to a property and the property owner is on the 'Lite' plan, you will only be able to access 'Lite' features for that property. Even if you are on the 'Agency' plan. If you want to enjoy 'Agency' features, you will have to create that property on your own account.
• Only property owners can invite users to their properties. A user who has been given access to a property can not share access to that property to someone else.
• The property owner can always revoke access. The other user will not be notified via email. This will NOT impact any of the queries, feeds, audits or supplemental feeds the shared user created during his period of access.

Small but helpful update. If you have a feed audit with thousands of products, it's good to know what issues are most critical.

Productrise now summarizes your feed issues in 3 tables:

• Critical issues: these are your top priority
• Warnings: May or may not be important
• Passed checks: These are just for your information

You can expand these sections to learn more. Why do we flag certain issues? How can you fix them? Then scroll down to the Products table and filter by issue. Or export all your products to a sheet, where each issue and severity is turned into a separate sheet.

We've shipped one of our most requested features: supplemental feeds. You can now fix feed issues, add missing attributes, and optimize product data without ever touching your primary feed source.

The challenge was clear: feed audits reveal critical issues that hurt organic visibility, but fixing them in your primary feed means getting access to the source, running into bureaucracy, asking client permissions, dealing with those evil colleagues from the advertising teams. That friction stopped many optimizations from ever happening.

What you can do now

After running a feed audit in Productrise, generate a supplemental feed that:

• Overrides or adds product data on top of your primary feed in Google Merchant Center
• Fills gaps like missing descriptions, attributes, or product types
• Optimizes existing data for target keywords
• Works as a layer without modifying your original source

This means you can implement feed optimizations immediately without waiting for development cycles, PIM updates, or stakeholder approvals. The supplemental feed merges with your primary data in Google Merchant Center, giving you complete, optimized product information where it matters most.

How it works

The entire process is automated. Run your feed audit, review the issues we found, and generate a supplemental feed based on those findings. Upload it to Google Merchant Center, and you're done. No manual data manipulation, no complex spreadsheets, no technical implementation required.

Start fixing feed issues today without touching your primary source. Read the full announcement to learn more.

We've added automatic seller name matching to help you quickly identify your own store's data across all insight reports. Your seller is now automatically highlighted with a 🎯 indicator in all tables and charts.

When viewing Product Rankings, Sellers, Competitors, or Query Groups, Productrise matches your property's seller name (or domain if no seller name is set) against all sellers in the SERP results. The system uses both exact and fuzzy matching (85%+ similarity) to find your store, even when seller names vary slightly.

If we find a close match but aren't certain, a modal will ask you to confirm with one click—updating your seller name and improving report accuracy. Once matched, your seller is automatically preselected in filters, making it easier to track your performance at a glance.

As of today, users can compare performance statistics of ranking sellers over time. This applies to the Product Rankings and the Query Groups Insights pages.

Based on the date period you select, Productrise will automatically show change statistics based on the previous period. For example, if your selected date period was day 14 to 20 of the month, the performance statistics will be compared to the days 7 to 13 of the month.

This allows you to see growth and decreases per seller for a single query (Product Position report) and for entire query groups (Query Groups report).

In addition, the Query Groups report also shows a daily Share of Voice graph over time, which further allows you to see changing visibility trends across your active queries.

Happy tracking!

Fixed a bug that caused some queries to be tracked multiple times per day, creating duplicate SERP results and affecting report accuracy. We've cleaned up all historical duplicates and implemented safeguards to prevent this from happening again. Your reports now show accurate, non-duplicated data.

From now on, all product audits will check 2 additional things:

1. Main image resolution
If the resolution of the main image is below 1024 x 1024 pixels, then the audit will flag the product. This is in line with Google's recommendations. Images are a big part of the online shelfspace, and higher quality images can lead to significant jumps in visibility over time.

Note that both the width and the height of the image must be higher than 1024. An image of 800 x 1600 pixels will still fail this check.

2. Image aspect ratio
While Google accepts images of different aspect ratios, it's generally advised to add only square images to your feed (1:1). Otherwise, Google might crop images to fit them inside the search results, or not use them at all.

This can be an issue when, for example, your product is not centered on the image. Then, when Google shows it in the search results, it's cropped to 1:1 and the subject of the image is not centered anymore.

Whenever the image aspect ratio is not 1:1, this audit check will flag a warning.

Google typically shows multiple product carousels on the first page of search results—one at the top and several at the bottom. Now you can filter the Query Group report to focus on specific product carousels.

Why this matters:
Products ranking in the top carousel get significantly more visibility than those appearing in carousels at the bottom of the page. With this new filter, you can isolate performance data for the carousels that matter most to your strategy.

How it works:
Select which product carousels you want to analyze (for example, only the top 2 carousels). All metrics on the page—including sellers, products, counts, and position scores—update automatically to reflect only the selected carousels.

This gives you a clearer picture of where your products are actually performing in high-visibility positions.

We've added joy plots (also known as ridgeline plots) to the Competitor Insights page. These visualizations make it easy to understand competitor positioning at a glance by showing distribution patterns for key metrics.

What you can now see:
Joy plots display distribution patterns for prices, discounts, and review scores across all tracked competitors. Since you're tracking hundreds of queries daily—meaning hundreds of sellers and thousands of product listings—these visualizations help you quickly understand the competitive landscape without diving into raw data.

How it works:
The plots are fully interactive. Sort by any column on the Competitor Insights page, and the joy plots update instantly to show how competitors are positioned. This makes it easy to identify whether competitors are positioned as budget or premium, how aggressive their discounting strategies are, and how their review scores compare.

Joy plots turn complex datasets into intuitive, beautiful visualizations that reveal patterns in seconds.

Fixed a bug that affected ~0.1% of all tracked queries, where the product position wasn't calculated properly. Unfortunately, we're unable to backfill the correct data for any previous queries, but from now on, all product positions should be 100% accurate.

Just audited a feed of 5,000 products? You can now export it to a sheet (.xlsx)! These are really useful for sharing audit data around with clients, colleagues, freelancers or agency partners.

Our audit runs multiple website and feed checks (currently 20 and counting!). Each one is stored in a separate tab. Each product that you added in your feed is checked and the outcome is one of these:

• Critical: Something should be fixed
• Warning: Something might need to be fixed, but it also might be okay
• Info: Your product passed the check, but we still store it for your information

The feed auditexports only contain products that have either a 'Critlcal' or 'Warning' status.
