Feeding Requirements
To include this category in your feed, you may use either the numeric ID 1306 or the full string: Home & Garden > Flood, Fire & Gas Safety > Water & Flood Detectors. Providing the category manually is optional but recommended over relying on Google’s automated system, as it ensures your products trigger the correct Google Ads features and policies. Always keep the google_product_category attribute distinct from your own internal product_type classification, which remains entirely free-form for your personal feed organization.
