Honestly, everyone is scared shitless of them, but they know they're an important part of building out a strong digital presence.

Well, there's GREAT news for eCommerce merchants.

If you don't already have a Google Merchant Center account (you'd have this if you're running Google Shopping Feeds and Google Shopping Adwords Campaigns), create one today.
