LiveVerteco Radar
Catch problems before they cost you clicks.
Radar compares the daily feed snapshot – and the latest uploaded Google Ads report when there is one – with a stored baseline and raises alerts when the product count drops, the out-of-stock share rises, the feed fetch fails or too many feed products get no impressions; Feedpulse adds score drops and missing images or prices. Thresholds are set per shop. Open alerts are listed in the app and mailed once a day in one digest to your account e-mail; item disapprovals from Merchant Center are not included yet, because there is no Google connection.
A feed that silently lost a third of its products, or a fetch that failed over the weekend, costs impressions before anyone opens a dashboard. Radar is the alert centre for merchants who want to be told when the feed or the Shopping data moves outside the numbers they consider normal.
What you get
Radar is part of your verteco.shop CSS subscription at €19/month per e-shop – there is no separate licence or add-on fee.
- Alerts for product-count drops, out-of-stock share, feed fetch errors and products without impressions
- Feedpulse alerts in the same place: score drop, missing images, missing prices
- Thresholds you set per shop; evaluation runs in the background and on demand
- One daily e-mail digest to your account address; dismiss alerts or accept the current numbers as the new baseline
- Later with a Merchant Center connection: item disapprovals as a further source
What Radar reads today
Radar compares the daily feed snapshot, and the latest uploaded Google Ads product report when there is one, with a stored baseline. It raises an alert when the product count falls by 20 % or more against the reference count, when the out-of-stock share reaches 30 %, when the last feed fetch failed, or when 50 % or more of feed products have no impressions in the report. Those are the defaults; each threshold is set per shop within its allowed range. Feedpulse raises its own alerts into the same place: a score drop of more than 15 points, and missing images or prices on more than 20 % of products. Item disapprovals from Merchant Center are not included yet, because there is no Google connection.
How the evaluation works, step by step
The evaluation runs as a background job, queued when you open the page and the baseline is older than 6 hours, and on Evaluate now. The reference product count follows the normal level: it is updated on every evaluation that finds no drop; while a drop alert is open it is kept, and after 7 days the lower count is accepted as the new normal, or earlier when you choose Accept current numbers as baseline. Each alert carries a severity, the tool that raised it, the time, a message and the numbers behind it. Open alerts are listed with the last 100 resolved ones; they resolve automatically when the next evaluation no longer finds the problem, or you dismiss them.
What it changes in Merchant Center or Google Ads
Radar changes nothing in your accounts and sends nothing to Google. Its output is the alert list and one e-mail digest per day to your account e-mail, one message rather than one per alert; Send test alert shows the format. The response happens where the cause is: a product-count drop or fetch error in your shop's feed export, a high out-of-stock share in purchasing or availability data, products without impressions in feed quality or campaign structure. Agencies see the open alert count per client in Partner Desk, and the sidebar badge shows the count for the selected shop.
Frequently asked questions
Is Radar included in the €19 CSS subscription?
Yes. Radar is part of Verteco Komplet and included in the verteco.shop CSS subscription of €19 per month or €199 per year per shop. The evaluation, thresholds, alert history and the daily e-mail digest are all part of it, with no monitoring add-on.
What does Radar monitor without a Google connection?
The feed snapshot: product count, out-of-stock share and fetch status, plus Feedpulse's score, images and prices. With an uploaded Google Ads product report it also watches the share of products without impressions. Item disapprovals live in Merchant Center and will be added as a source once a Google connection exists.
How often do I get alert e-mails?
Once a day, in one digest to your account e-mail, and only when there are open alerts. The in-app list is updated every time an evaluation runs, which happens in the background when the baseline is older than 6 hours or when you press Evaluate now.
Can I change the thresholds?
Yes, per shop. Product-count drop (default 20 %), out-of-stock share (default 30 %), products without impressions (default 50 %) and the Feedpulse score drop (default 15 points) each have a range you can set within. Lower values mean earlier, more frequent alerts; the right level depends on how much your catalogue normally moves.
What happens when my catalogue legitimately shrinks?
A drop alert opens and stays open while the count is low. If the new size is intended, choose Accept current numbers as baseline and the alert is resolved; otherwise the lower count becomes the new reference after 7 days. The reference also rises again on any evaluation that finds no drop.
