Seeds Category Overview
The Seeds category, identified by the unique ID 2802, is a specific segment under the Home & Garden hierarchy. It is designed to capture agricultural and botanical items intended for planting and cultivation in both home and professional gardens.
What belongs in this category
This category is intended for various types of seeds used for growing plants, vegetables, and flowers. Examples from the US market include vegetable seed variety packs, organic herb seeds like Genovese basil, floral seed blends such as snapdragons and zinnias, and comprehensive survival seed vault kits. These products are specifically processed and packaged for germination.
What does not belong here
Do not place items that fit better into neighboring categories like Flowers, Trees, Aquatic Plants, or Indoor & Outdoor Plants within this section. If you are selling complete kits that include tools or pots alongside seeds, use the Plant & Herb Growing Kits category instead. Ensure your classification reflects the primary intent of the product.
When to choose a subcategory
If your inventory is specialized, select the subcategory Plant & Flower Bulbs for bulb-based products or Seeds & Seed Tape for products specifically formatted as seed tape.
Feed Implementation
To implement this in your feed, you may use the numeric value 2802 or the string Home & Garden > Plants > Seeds. While this attribute is optional, providing it manually prevents Google from miscategorizing your inventory. Note that product_type remains a separate, internal classification field that does not replace this required taxonomy mapping.
