Google Product Ads Now Show 5 Products


The holiday shopping season is coming. Are you ready? The holiday season is one of the busiest seasons for shopping online. Online retailers should have already started seeing an increasing trend in sales online.

In order to prepare your business for the online season, Google announced an improvement to its Product Ads: the ability to show up to five different products at a time. Giving users the ability to see more shopping choices increases your chances of conversion while pushing your brand out in front of more people. The ability to show five products at a time is available in all countries with Product Listing Ads.

This improvement will help shoppers to see your exact products before they come to your site. Google said this will help your business get more clicks, higher conversions, and a much higher ROI for your search ads.
Product ads are twice as likely to get clicked over text ads in the same location. Since launching Product Listing Ads in AdWords, Google has seen a 600 percent increase in traffic to retailers in compared to last year. This is a significant amount of traffic for online retailers.

With the holiday season approaching, more people are searching online for products and Product Listing Ads are one of the key focuses for Google to target online shoppers.
