Google Adds Product Listing Ads to Image Search Results

at PST By

google image plasGoogle is definitely ramping up Product Listing Ads coverage on the search results.  They have now added PLAs to image search.

Here is how they appear:

All the listings show the price and the store name, but no product title.  One can click through to the landing page for more details.

Surprisingly, these are not carousels.  This surprised me because it looked like the perfect avenue to show more results.  However, on mobile they do show a carousel since there is limited screen space.  It appears that PLAs on mobile are only on Android.

Here is another example.

They also seem to not require the entire unit be filled with ads.  For example, this laptop search is only partially filled with products.

  1. Thanks for the update, Jennifer.

    In the title, it might be a good idea to edit one of the ‘adds’. 😉
