*Extensive research has been done internally by Keywordio showing a 30% higher return from Shopping vs Text Ads.
In Q1 of 2018, 60% of search ad clicks were on Google Shopping Ads, showing a clear preference over text-based ads.
Google Shopping results do appear within regular Google searches, whenever Google believes there’s a shopping match. These results are normally shown in a special shopping box integrated into regular results!
Google Shopping is powered by two platforms:
- Google Merchant Center: where your product feed lives and contains details of your products organized in a format Google prefers.
- Google Ads: where your actual shopping campaigns live and where you’ll set your budget, manage your bids, gain insights, and make optimizations based on performance.
With Google Shopping Ads, the customer can see relevant information within the ad. This means they are already a little familiar with your product when they arrive on your website.
The ads consist of all the important details-
- Product image
- Name
- Price
- Brand name
This is how Keywordio grows successful ecommerce businesses via Google Ads and Google shopping. The numbers will astound you.
