A Home icon for Merchant Center 2.0. Overview

The Overview page in Merchant Center Next provides a quick and consistent overview of your Merchant Center, structured into two main sections. The top section shows an overview of your performance and your product status, while the bottom section shows suggestions on the most impactful actions that you can take to optimise your Merchant Center.

The performance section showcases both daily and smoothed values, while product status offers both current and historical snapshots for comparison. Notably, data is aggregated across organic and paid channels but can be separated for physical and online shops, allowing for more optimisation.
