What are Google Shopping Ads?
Google Shopping Ads appear in a series of similar products displayed at the top of a SERP depending on your commercial search intent. You can quickly and easily see a variety of products and click to buy.
They are simple ads with very little description. There is an image for the brand name or website, a link, a price, a line of text and usually an additional line showing a snapshot of product reviews or additional text to highlight benefits.
Why Should Your Business Use Google Shopping Ads?
There are many benefits for business owners using Google Shopping Ads for their campaigns; here are just a few of them.
1. Placing Your Product at the Top of SERPs Text-based ads are not as enticing as seeing images of the product you want to buy. Google Shopping Ads can also include a star rating to encourage a person to click and make a purchase. 2. Better ROI on your Marketing and Product Budget Google Shopping Ads often deliver higher Click Through Rates than regular Google Ads in the retail industry. This is probably due to the visual component that helps the user experience and machine learning that serves ads based solely on search intent and other contextual aspects.
Using Shopping Ads can also facilitate the buying process. When a user sees the ad and clicks on it, they are taken directly to the product without any navigation. This means there are fewer clicks to buy.
3. Reaching a Wider Range of Customers Google Shopping Ads appear in more places online, not just in SERPs. We can make sure your ads appear in Google Image Search results, YouTube, Gmail and the Google network.
