Why Use Product Listing Ads #PLAninjas

click through rates Because Product Ads are more attractive and engaging than standard text ads, they offer better CTRs.

Conversion rates Product Ads give users information (merchant, price and picture) before they click through, so they are better informed and more likely to complete a sale when they arrive on your site.

Easy targeting Google automatically selects the most relevant products to show from your Merchant Center account when a user enters a related query.

Increased exposure Because both Product Ads formats can show at the same time, your exposure on given query can increase 2x or more.
