Google has updated the Shopping tab Listings report in Search Console, providing merchants with listing statuses and opportunities for growth.
The latest additions to the Shopping tab, introduced last November, should help vendors showcase their products effectively.
Notifications And Growth Opportunities In The Listing Report
The latest Shopping tab Listing report changes could help merchants increase sales by ensuring products are visible on Google.
Whoa, a new report just launched in Google Search Console! Within the ‘Shopping tab listings’ report (previously empty), it now tells you how many products can appear. Apparently it’ll start showing opportunities for getting more clicks/rankings soon! https://t.co/F7dqf1Ikes pic.twitter.com/cKPE195BKV

First, merchants will now receive alerts when their products no longer appear on the Shopping tab due to any issues that might arise.
This notification mechanism is expected to act as an early warning system, allowing businesses to resolve issues that prevent products from appearing in Google Search.
Second, the updated report will identify opportunities for merchants to boost clicks and enhance the rankings of their products on Google.
For example, it would instruct merchants to enter the most relevant information about shipping and return policies for consumers.
