Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (606) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Household Appliances > Climate Control Appliances > Air Purifiers"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 606 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Home & Garden > Household Appliances > Climate Control Appliances > Air Purifiers |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 606, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.
Questions about Air Purifiers
What is the Google product category ID for Air Purifiers?
606. The full path, "Home & Garden > Household Appliances > Climate Control Appliances > Air Purifiers", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Air Purifiers available?

Where does Air Purifiers sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Climate Control Appliances (1626). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Household Appliances → Climate Control Appliances → Air Purifiers.

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Climate Control Appliances (1626) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Air Purifiers compared with the categories next to it?
