Google Shopping

Have you ever wanted to shop for a product but wanted to be able to compare a variety of different brands but want to avoid jumping from one e-commerce page to another? Well, that is exactly what Google Shopping is, it provides shoppers with the opportunity to browse a variety of products based on their search query. How will this benefit your business though? Anytime a shopper decides to click on your product link, they are taken back to your website!

Why Google Shopping?

Google Shopping displays your products on the SERPs (search engine results page) allowing customers to search for, view and compare products. Have you ever been looking for a product and wanted to shop around comparing price and value? This can be an exhausting exercise flicking through each e-commerce site. This is where online market places come in handy to the consumer and put your products to the forefront of their minds. Conversion rates on Google Shopping are very strong, as customers have already seen your product and price prior to clicking. Look at the screenshot below, simply taken from google after searching for ‘’watches’’
