Optimizing Google Shopping Campaign | Advanced Google Shopping Campaign

Google product listing ads PLAs have higher CTR and Conversions

Let’s face it, everyone wants their products on the first page of a google search, and hardly anyone looks past the first page anymore. If you cannot get there by SEO alone, then you need the help of Google Shopping to showcase your products.

Over half of retailers’ Google search are now coming from product listing ads (PLA’s) and PLAs are getting 20% higher click-through-rate and higher conversion rates because shoppers land directly on the product page.

We also know that most millennials are comparison shopping and over half abandon their cart to either do this or to search further for reviews. With Google Shopping you can see the reviews and price right in the listing, which is another reason it has become so effective as a powerful marketing tool for 1000’s of successful online merchants.
