The following best practices apply to the
integration and can be leveraged to avoid usability and performance issues.
Low data quality might lead to inventory takedown.
Feeds
If a service doesn't have a set length, set duration_sec in
the Availability feed to one of the following:
The number of seconds it takes to perform the service in a
reasonable manner.
The average number of seconds required to complete the service.
Make the Category field input in the merchant's feed is
specific. For example, a restaurant might submit a specific type, such as
French or Japanese. For details, see
Place types for potential category values.

Key actions include setting the `duration_sec` in the Availability feed to a reasonable or average time for services without a set length, avoiding a `0` value. It is important to use specific categories in the merchant feed, referring to the provided Place types for examples, such as \"French\" or \"Japanese\" for a restaurant, and also compressing feeds using `gzip`.
