# Map uncategorized/incorrectly categorized products  (Google Shopping feed)

[AI product categorization](/manage-improve-product-data/categorize-products/create-product-categories/ai-product-categorization.md) does not perfectly categorize every item, which means that sometimes you’ll need to [map some categories manually](/manage-improve-product-data/categorize-products/create-product-categories/add-categories-manually.md).  

### Manual categorization <a href="#h_01jcd9h0zgyd003n4p42v9s31t" id="h_01jcd9h0zgyd003n4p42v9s31t"></a>

To categorize items manually, follow these steps:

1. To get an overview of all your uncategorized items, navigate to **\[Your Google Shopping feed] > Categories** and click on the **Uncategorized items** tab.
2. Briefly analyze your uncategorized items. Get an idea of the type of items that are uncategorized so that you can assign them a category later. For example, you may notice that ‘T-shirts’ were not categorized properly but ‘shirts’ are categorized.&#x20;
3. Go to the **Manual Categorization** tab.
4. Click **+ Add category**.&#x20;
5. Set a category for those products using a rule. Let’s use create a rule using an example:&#x20;

#### Map a category based on a value in your title <a href="#h_01jcd9h0zhm81qf1v4eacnhj5s" id="h_01jcd9h0zhm81qf1v4eacnhj5s"></a>

If a product title contains the term 'T-shirt', we want to match that with the category 'Clothing & Accessories > Clothing > Shirts & Tops' in Google. Follow these steps to connect a product to a category:

1. In **Field**, select 'Title'.
2. In **Filter**, select 'Contains'.
3. In **Value**, type in 'T-shirt'. You will fill this in depending on the type of products that are uncategorized.
4. Choose the correct category that fits these items from the **Set to category** dropdown. Use the search field to help you.&#x20;
5. Click **Save**.
6. Once your categories have been updated, you can click on the number in the **Items** column to get an overview of the items that have been categorized using the rule.

As you apply manual categorization rules to your products, there will be a decrease in the **Uncategorized Items** count. This is a good indication that you are sorting items into relevant Google Shopping categories correctly .
