Demystifying Google Shopping

Think about e-commerce 20 years ago. Amazon was just getting started, but was nowhere near the powerhouse it is today. Shopping online was hardly a thing. Google was a search engine and not much more. The only e-commerce that had really taken off was consumer-to-consumer sales through eBay.

Fast forward to today and the world is basically available at your fingertips – and next day at that! There are too many options to count when it comes to showcasing a product online and leading consumers down a path to purchase. But, when it comes to shopping, Google has developed one of the most powerful solutions available to consumers, showcasing exactly what a consumer is looking for at the moment they hit search. For brands, navigating this offering can be complicated and confusing, especially as the state of commerce continues to evolve. As part of our ongoing thought leadership series around e-commerce, Demystifying Google Shopping will help brands and manufacturers explore the advantages of this platform to ultimately drive business goals.
