Bookends Category Definition

The Bookends category is designated by ID 587 within the Home & Garden taxonomy tree. Its full path is Home & Garden > Decor > Bookends, representing the third level of the classification structure for items designed to support books upright.

What Belongs in this Category

This category is specifically for products meant to hold rows of books together on shelves. Examples found in the US market include items crafted from materials such as wood, marble, metal, rattan, brass, terracotta, and bronze. Typical designs include decorative sculptures like animals, birds, skulls, botanical motifs, or geometric shapes, as well as functional artistic pieces like arched frames or athlete statues.

What Does Not Belong

Do not include items that do not serve the purpose of book support. If you are selling decorative items that belong to neighboring categories, place them appropriately. For instance, store clocks in Clocks, decorative trays in Decorative Trays, and bird feeders in Bird & Wildlife Feeders. Items like vases go under Vases, and figurines not intended for books should be categorized in Figurines. Wallpaper, curtains, or window treatments belong in their respective dedicated segments, not here.

Category Assignment

This category does not have any further subcategories. It is the most specific level available in the current taxonomy tree.

Feed Implementation

Use either the numeric ID 587 or the full path Home & Garden > Decor > Bookends in your google_product_category attribute. While this attribute is optional, explicit categorization ensures accuracy, as relying on Google's automated system may result in misclassification and reduced visibility.

Frequently asked questions

Is it mandatory to provide the google_product_category for my bookends?
No, it is optional. However, manual assignment is recommended because Google's automated system may categorize your items incorrectly, potentially affecting how your ads are processed.
Can I use product_type instead of the google_product_category for these items?
No. The product_type attribute is for your internal classification system, while google_product_category is a required standard taxonomy used by Google to interpret your items.
Should I use the numeric ID or the text path in my data feed?
Both are accepted by Google. Using the numeric ID 587 is often preferred as it is language-independent and less prone to formatting errors during updates.
