About Writing & Drawing Instruments
The Writing & Drawing Instruments category, identified by ID 977, is a specific classification within the Office Supplies taxonomy. It encompasses tools primarily used for drafting, note-taking, and artistic creation, serving as a critical node for accurate product categorization in Google Merchant Center.
This category covers a wide variety of tools used for mark-making. Based on examples from the US market, this includes items such as fountain pens, mechanical pencils, ballpoint pens, rollerball pens, gel pens, and specialized drawing pencils. Whether the product is designed for professional architectural sketching or daily writing tasks, these items typically belong here.
Items that do not belong in this category include accessories like pencil sharpeners, tape dispensers, staplers, staple removers, clipboards, magnifiers, call bells, office rubber stamps, and letter openers. These belong in their own respective neighbouring categories under Office Instruments. Furthermore, avoid placing writing instrument accessories here if they do not perform the primary act of writing or drawing themselves.
You should choose a more specific subcategory whenever available to ensure better matching. These subcategories include Chalk, Crayons, Markers & Highlighters, Art Charcoals, Pastels, Pens & Pencils, and Multifunction Writing Instruments. Selecting the deepest possible subcategory helps Google's algorithms better understand your product range.
To include this in your feed, use the ID 977 or the full path: Office Supplies > Office Instruments > Writing & Drawing Instruments. Remember that this attribute is optional, but providing it manually prevents Google from miscategorizing your items based on automatic analysis.
