About the Rain Gauges Category
The Rain Gauges category, identified by ID 710, falls under Home & Garden > Decor. This classification is specifically designed for tools intended to measure rainfall levels, serving both practical meteorological monitoring and garden decor purposes.
This category is intended for devices that track precipitation. Examples found in the US market include magnifying rain gauges, wireless digital models, and precision instruments. You should also classify standard silicone, jumbo, and decorative gauges designed with artistic themes like gnomes or animals here. These items provide essential data for gardening enthusiasts and homeowners managing outdoor spaces.
Do not place bird feeders, bird baths, garden sculptures, or decorative garden signs in this category. These items belong under neighbouring categories such as Bird & Wildlife Feeders, Bird Baths, Lawn Ornaments & Garden Sculptures, or Decorative Plaques. If you sell wind chimes, weather vanes, or suncatchers, ensure they are mapped to their specific categories rather than here to maintain feed accuracy.
There are no subcategories for Rain Gauges, as this is the most specific level provided within the current Google product taxonomy.
To include this in your feed, use either the ID 710 or the full path: Home & Garden > Decor > Rain Gauges. While the attribute is optional, providing it prevents Google from miscategorizing your items. Remember that product_type is a separate, merchant-defined field, so you must still populate the google_product_category attribute with the official taxonomy values provided above for optimal results.
