Retargeting With Product Listing Ads

Google PLAs are now available with a “Buy Now” option and select retailers can use the option to retarget audiences that have engaged with brand’s advertising by offering a Click-To-Buy option that comes with the newly rolled out Ads.

That ad will lead to a retailer-branded product page hosted by Google, where the shoppers are required to add their payment information that can be used for future transactions.

Google has rolled out a Conversation Search feature that according to the AdWords blog:

“On searches for the top-rated products, such as “Best women’s Nike running shoes,” we’re starting to show newly-designed shopping ads with authoritative rankings and product ratings. The new design is so helpful to those specific users that we’ve seen click-through-rate increases of up to 11 percent for retailers for these queries.Product queries that include “reviews” or “recommendations” are also increasingly common, so we’re showing new product review cards with product ratings and snippets from the most useful reviews from around the web. Finally, shoppers who want to learn more about a product’s features, like the resolution of the camera they’re considering purchasing, may now see a product attribute card with the most relevant information.”
