When to Use Subcategories
You should prioritize subcategories like Mini Skirts, Long Skirts, or Knee-Length Skirts when your product fits a specific length classification. Using these subcategories helps refine the search results for users specifically filtering by length.
Feed Implementation
To categorize your items, use either the ID 1581 or the path Apparel & Accessories > Clothing > Skirts in your google_product_category attribute. Remember that for apparel, Google typically expects valid values for color, size, gender, and age_group to improve ad performance.
