“It’s your chance to be seen, drive more traffic to your eCommerce website and increase your sales.”
Reach more potential customers: Google Shopping ads draw on the power of Google’s extensive network to help you reach more potential customers in more places. Your ads can be shown on Google’s search results pages, Google search partner websites, as well as the Google Display Network (including YouTube, Gmail and Google Discover). This helps you reach people who are searching for products that you sell (or perhaps for solutions to problems that your products can help them solve) as well as those who are likely to be interested in your product based on the content they’re consuming on other websites.
Drive more traffic and increase sales: Drawing on the product data in Google Merchant Center, Shopping ads decide how and where to show the ads you set up, matching them to what people are searching for. This means your products will show up when relevant to a search someone makes, or when they’re browsing content that’s related to what you sell. Because someone isn’t just being served a random ad but one that matches what they’re searching for or interested in, it’s more likely they’ll click on it. This tends to mean higher click-through rates, resulting in increased traffic to your website and a greater return on investment for your business in the form of product sales.
Gain valuable insights: Another great thing about Google Ads, as with digital marketing mediums in general, is that you can get key metrics to help you analyse how your ads are performing, which products are selling and who is engaging with your campaigns, which helps you identify how you could improve.
