Proper category setting is vital for listing the assortment in a comparison engine catalog and product matching. It will help you to **improve** your advertising. Mergado comes with functionality that **speeds up category setup and prevents errors**.

## The Rename Categories In Bulk rule now includes automatic suggestions

One of the most used rules in Mergado is the [Rename Categories In Bulk](https://info.mergado.com/mergado-guide/rules#rename-categories-in-bulk). Filling in the category names from the online store input feed is accelerated by **the option to pre-fill the left page**. The suggestions, which Mergado regularly updates **according to the Google category tree**, help to choose the proper category. This rule contains a *Suggest Categories* button.



 

Need to know **how to use** the *Rename Categories In Bulk* rule? Watch this video:

 

 

 

 

 

### How automatic category suggestions work

1. In the Rename Categories In Bulk rule, **click the** *Suggest Categories* **button**.
2. Mergado then **collects input element values** ​​for product categories **and sends them** to the component.
3. After a while, the **automatic category suggestions for the output format** that you see in the rule editing form return.
4. **Choose the best suggestion** here and add it if necessary (e.g. if the proposed category was not complete).

This mechanism **recognizes the type of string** for the given output format based on the similarity of words and sentences. And because it knows the category tree for this format, it **will suggest the most suitable category**.
