What is product advertising
Google shopping ad is a form of advertising that retailers can use to advertise their products. You can promote products that are sold in an online or offline store. Also, with the help of shopping campaigns, you can attract users to the site and visitors to the office, and find prospective customers. An advertisement consists of a high–quality image of the proposed product, the name of the product and its description, the name of the store where you can buy it, its price and delivery information. Such advertising is designed for people who will be interested in this particular product.
Google Shopping Product Ads
Advertising on Google shopping is suitable for retailing goods in online stores. Users are shown a feed with products relevant to their request, which can be sorted using filters by price and other parameters. Afterwards, customers can go to the advertiser’s website to complete the purchase.

Standard Shopping Campaign
To set up a standard type of product advertising, keywords are not used, all product data is taken from the product feed in the Google Merchant Center account. Using the attributes specified in the feed, the system automatically generates ads in the form of product cards. Google algorithms determine the requests according to which ads are shown to users, based on the information specified in the product feed and in the site content.

Moreover, its advantages include placing an advertisement simultaneously in search results, display network, Gmail and YouTube.

Free placement of product information on different Google platforms
According to the rules of the Google system, you can post information about your products for free on different Google platforms:
- shopping.google.com – “Purchases” tab;
- google.com – advanced search results;
- images.google.com – images with the mark “Product” in the search results;
- youtube.com – a list of products under the video that are shown in it.
The Google system does not charge for placing ads and for their inclusion in the Google Search index. However, there is no guarantee that your products will be shown on the platforms if you do not develop your campaign to advertise on Google shopping correctly. To increase the chances of promotion in free services, you need to fill in information about your products as accurately and efficiently as possible. The more closely the descriptions match user requests, the more likely it is that your ad will be shown in the search.
