Google Merchant Center Next will soon support rules and supplemental feeds

Written on December 1, 2023 at 5:22 pm, by admin

Google Merchant Center Next will support rules and supplemental feeds early next year. The predecessor version, Google Merchant Center, is still used by some advertisers and already supports these new features.

Google Merchant Center Next (GMC Next), a simplified version of Merchant Center, was unveiled in May.

Advertisers that haven’t transitioned to GMC Next and want access to the rules and feeds should not upgrade to GMC Next.

Those who have already migrated to GMC Next and need access to these tools can revert to classic mode. Google will not invite merchants using rules and feeds to migrate to GMC Next until the features are available in that platform.

Why we care. For those who migrated from GMC to GMC Next, and were unpleasantly surprised to find rules and feeds unsupported, there’s now a path to restore those features. Reverting isn’t ideal, but it offers a way to restore functionality that is integral for optimizing Google Shopping ad performance.

Switching back to Classic Mode. To revert from GMC Next to classic mode and gain access to rules and supplemental feeds, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to Merchant Center.
2. At the top of the screen, click the Help & feedback icon.
3. Click “Use classic Merchant Center”.
4. A disclaimer will appear. If you’d still like to continue, click Use classic Merchant Center.
5. A box will appear allowing you to give feedback on why you’d like to switch. When you’re done, click Submit.
6. Another disclaimer will appear. Check the box, and click Switch now.
7. Classic Merchant Center experience will now be available to use.

Warning. Switching from Merchant Center Next back to the classic Merchant Center may result in the loss of previously added business details and in-store product details. Consider this potential impact before making the switch.

No return to GMC Next. If you switch back to the classic Merchant Center, you won’t have the option to return to the Merchant Center Next until the classic experience is retired next year.

Meta to launch Threads in the EU within weeks

Written on December 1, 2023 at 5:22 pm, by admin

Meta is reportedly planning to launch Threads in the EU before the end of the year.

The news comes after X’s biggest advertisers – including Disney, Paramount and Sony Pictures –boycotted the Elon Musk-owned platform following his endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory

Why we care. Although Threads isn’t serving ads just yet, brands can still grow their audiences on the platform through influencer partnerships. It’s worth noting that ads on Threads are inevitable and will likely be a significant contributor to the app’s overall revenue when they do launch.

EU regulation difficulties. Threads was not rolled out to EU countries upon its global launch in July because of the EU’s strict privacy regulations. To comply, Meta modified its product to enable users to use the app without creating a profile. A profile is required if the user wishes to publish posts, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Threads users can now delete their Threads profiles without having to delete their associated Instagram accounts, Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, said.

Active subscribers. Threads now has just shy of 200 million monthly active users, according to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. He predicted that figure could rise to one billion within the next few years.

By rolling out to EU countries, Threads could see up to 40 million extra monthly active users, according to independent tech analyst, Aho Williamson.

Reddit launches new Conversation Placement ad formats

Written on December 1, 2023 at 5:22 pm, by admin

Reddit has launched two new ad formats within Conversation Placement: Carousel Ads and Product Ads.

Conversation Placement sits within a Reddit conversation thread, appearing below the original post and above the first comment. The rollout of the new ad formats within this placement is intended to offer advertisers the opportunity to interact with high-value users in a high-focused environment.

Why we care. Marketers now have more options to promote products through Conversation Placement, giving them more control over how they reach their target. These ads also offer a valuable opportunity to connect with new audiences, especially as many users in Reddit conversation threads come directly from organic searches.

Carousel Ads: This ad format has been revamped for Conversation Placement, enhancing the experiences for both users and advertiser. With the new design, brands can showcase up to six images or GIFs, each with its clickable link leading to respective landing pages.

Product Ads: After introducing Product Ads earlier this year, the format is being extended to Conversation Placement. This expansion enables advertisers to connect with high-value consumers who are actively engaged in research, providing a strategic opportunity to influence their purchase decisions.

Accessibility. Carousel Ads and Product Ads are now available to all advertisers globally.

Google will pay Canadian publishers $73m a year to keep news links in search

Written on November 30, 2023 at 1:21 pm, by admin

Google has agreed to pay publishers in Canada $73.6 million a year to keep links to news articles in its search results.

The search engine had threatened to stop serving news links in response to a new law that forces tech companies to pay for news content.

However, Google was able to strike a deal with the Canadian government before the rollout of the Online News Act, which is planned for Dec. 19, 2023.

Why we care. This landmark deal will come as a huge relief for news publishers in Canada. Had Google followed through with its threat to remove links to news articles in search, organic traffic would have been severely impacted, which in turn would have negatively affected the value of the publishers’ ad space.

Terms and conditions. Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge said in a statement that the “single collective” paid by Google would be distributed to “a wide range of news businesses across the country, including independent news businesses and those from Indigenous and official-language minority communities.” He added:

• “A sustainable news ecosystem is good for everyone.”
• “The health of the Canadian news industry has never been more at risk.”

Although the Canadian government and Google have agreed to solutions to make both parties happy, the final regulations have yet to be confirmed.

What Google is saying. Alphabet president of global affairs, Kent Walker, said in a statement:

• “Following extensive discussions, we are pleased that the Government of Canada has committed to addressing our core issues with Bill C-18.”
• “While we work with the government through the exemption process based on the regulations that will be published shortly, we will continue sending valuable traffic to Canadian publishers.”

Meta maintains its opposition. Despite Google’s announcement, Meta is standing firm on its decision to remove news from Facebook and Instagram in Canada. Meta spokesperson, Lisa Laventure, said in a statement:

• “Unlike search engines, we do not proactively pull news from the internet to place in our users’ feeds and we have long been clear that the only way we can reasonably comply with the Online News Act is by ending news availability for people in Canada.”

Pinterest rolls out AI body type filter to improve search inclusivity and engagement

Written on November 30, 2023 at 1:21 pm, by admin

Pinterest has started testing an AI “body type” filter to make search more inclusive.

The new consumer tool, which is rolling out on women’s fashion and wedding ideas, will enable users to filter their product search results based on different body types. Pinterest execs claim the feature has potential not just to improve search diversity, but also increase engagement for brands.

Why we care. Enabling customers see how clothes fit their unique body shape has the potential to strongly influence their decision to buy, which could possibly lead to higher conversions.

Roll out. The AI “body type” filter is currently available in the following countries:

• U.S.
• U.K.
• Ireland.
• Canada.
• Australia.
• New Zealand.

Pinterest has confirmed that the technology will expand to additional international markets soon.

What Pinterest is saying. Sabrina Ellis, Pinterest’s chief of product, told TechCrunch:

• “We are committed to building a more positive internet, and with these developments, our hope is to bring a more personalized and inclusive experience on Pinterest.”

YouTube updates Product Drops tool for enhanced accessibility and control

Written on November 30, 2023 at 1:21 pm, by admin

YouTube is updating its Product Drops feature to improve accessibility and give creators more control.

The tool, which enables creators to announce new products during live shopping streams, is also being rolled out to first-party stores for the first time. In addition, creators will have more flexibility regarding timings of product announcements.

Why we care. The Product Drops tool offers a simple way to create buzz around product launches, engage audiences effectively, and boost sales. The new flexibility in timing allows marketers to strategically optimize promotions, ensuring maximum impact for their products.

Enhanced accessibility. More creators will be able to utilize Product Drops in the live control room on YouTube as the feature is now available to both:

• First-party stores (creators who have connected their stores).
• Third-party stores (participating in the youTube affiliate program).

More control. Previously, creators were restricted to pre-scheduling Product Drops for a specific time, however, this update allows them to drop products whenever they so wish during a live stream. This change has been rolled out to “give creators more flexibility to react to the moment and drive excitement in realtime,” according to a YouTube spokesperson.

Getting started. To use Product Drops, head over to the Live Control Room, schedule a live stream, and follows these simple steps:

• Tag the product drop and any other other relevant items to the live stream video.
• Click “Create Product Drop” next to the product.
• When you are ready to drop, select the timer (your product will be hidden until you are ready to drop it).
• Choose whether you want to do a one-minute countdown or an instant drop.
• Viewers will then see a countdown timer or a placeholder image of a shopping bag as a video overlay until the product has dropped. This will let viewers know the exact moment the product will be available for purchase.

LinkedIn rolls out new ad performance measurement features

Written on November 29, 2023 at 9:20 am, by admin

LinkedIn has introduced new tools and upgrades to assist marketers in measuring their ad campaigns more effectively:

• New Conversions API (CAPI).
• Website Actions.
• Document ads upgrades.

Why we care. Accurate measurement of campaign performance enables advertisers to make informed decisions, allocate resources efficiently and demonstrate the value of their efforts to clients.

CAPI. LinkedIn’s new campaign performance measurement promises “more precision and clarity” as there is no need for cookie tracking. This allows LinkedIn to provide better insights into how users respond to ads on the platform. You can choose how to connect your online and offline data from two options:

• API integration
• Partner integration.

The ability to connect both online and offline data enables you to track the impact of your campaigns on website actions, phone sales, and in-person event leads.

LinkedIn asserts that its new Conversions API is designed to be “privacy-compliant and future-proof.” This means that it adheres to current privacy regulations and is built to adapt to future changes in data privacy laws.

Website Actions. This new feature simplifies how marketers track conversions in advertising campaigns as there is “no need for complex event-tracking installations”. Website Actions can measure actions based on CTAs, page visits, and data without the need for additional on-site code.

Document Ads upgrades. LinkedIn is rolling out three new upgrades to this ad type:

1. Retargeting: This function provides the ability to engage with customers who have previously interacted with Document Ads. 
2. New metrics: You can now monitor objectives like website visits and website conversions for this specific ad type.
3. Local Area Network (LAN) distribution: There is now an option to opt in for this feature, which could help improve delivery and cost-efficiency.

---

---

What LinkedIn is saying. Nicholas Hassebrock, Product Marketing Manager at LinkedIn, said in a statement:

• “If you’re currently focused on measuring the deeper impact of your campaigns, these new enhancements to LinkedIn Ads are worth your attention.”
• “In a study involving nearly 850 beta campaigns, CAPI delivered a remarkable 31% increase in attributed conversions and a 20% reduction in the cost per action.”
• “Early results for Website Actions users include a remarkable 33% CTR lift for Conversion Tracking campaigns, and a 31% CTR lift for Website Retargeting campaigns.”
• “Retargeting campaigns using Document Ads have seen CTRs approximately 2x higher compared to retargeting campaigns using lead gen forms.”
• “B2B marketers are under pressure to drive results and demonstrate impact. They need to be confident in the tools and platforms they are using to achieve their goals. At LinkedIn, we continue to innovate and enhance our product offerings to meet these needs.”

The rise of Google followership: Unlocking visibility on Google’s surfaces

Written on November 29, 2023 at 9:20 am, by admin

Google is no longer just a search engine. It is adopting social signals that increasingly impact content visibility across Google surfaces like Search, News and YouTube.

This shift requires brands to rethink what it means to do SEO today and beyond.

The article explores how Google is expanding into a surface ecosystem, why followership matters for visibility, and some initial ideas for brands looking to increase followers on Google.

Google’s shifting focus: From search to discovery

In the past four years, Google has undergone fundamental shifts: 

• From answers to journeys.
• From search queries to queryless search.
• From text to visuals. 

Google has transformed itself from a search engine to a surface ecosystem that focuses on anticipating and satisfying users’ needs, enabling it to reach and influence people before they need to search.

Think of the number of influential surfaces beyond the traditional SERPs. Google is now a:

• Ecommerce player with Google Lens, Shopping and Buy on Google functionality.
• Business directory with Google Maps.
• Aggregator in multiple industries with Google News, Google for Jobs, and Google Travel.
• Personal assistant, especially with the upcoming integration of Bard into Google Assistant.

Yet, the key functionality with the potential to greatly impact every brand and shape future visibility across all surfaces is Google’s hidden social networking feature.

Google is a powerful social network

The Perspectives tab may highlight other social network content in search, but I doubt this is Google’s end game.

Despite the failure of Google+, I believe Google still intends to become a leading social network.

Think about it: Google already offers every feature of its social media competitors.

• Vertical video through YouTube Shorts.
• Stories on the open web.
• For You Page (FYP) with Google Discover, which treats webpages as social posts.
• Likes with the heart button in Google Discover.
• Comments with the new Notes feature in Search Labs.
• Shares through Google Chrome.
• Personalization algorithms based on topical engagement, especially with the new website visit frequency ranking feature, which feels like Google’s version of “Trusting the algorithm to bring me back.”
• Creator details such as social handle, social follower count or content popularity included in search results, and the recent avatar guidance.
• Chat, albeit to an AI, with Bard and the converse feature in SGE.

But Google’s main social weapon is Discover.

In terms of monthly active users (MAUs), YouTube’s 2.7 billion is only exceeded by Facebook’s 3 billion. And with Discover’s last MAU reporting in 2018 at 800 million, it’s likely competitive with TikTok’s 1.1 billion or Instagram’s 2.3 billion. And certainly beats X’s 528 million and LinkedIn’s 310 million.

Moreover, Discover can provide significantly more value to brands. Unlike many of its social counterparts, Discover is not an area for doom scrolling or click hoarding.

There is a limited number of posts highly personalized to each user with the primary aim of getting users to click through to read more.

This is how Discover delivers its value. This means being featured in Google Discover can be highly impactful and highly targeted.

Now, Google is promoting a way to optimize for Discover and many rich experiences with surface followership.

Google followership: The next frontier

Google has begun rolling out the Follow button in search results. This allows you to subscribe to topics with Google, adding it as an interest in your Google profile.

Doing this increases the likelihood of seeing content related to those topics in various places like Discover and search results. You may even receive push notifications from the Google app if there is relevant news.

But this is just one of many follow features available across Google surfaces.

Google News

In Google News, I can click the follow star to show in the sources box in News and Discover, in the recently redesigned Google News following tab and the “From publishers you follow” SERP feature.

Google Shopping

In Google Shopping, I can favorite a brand, which gives more visibility to that brand’s offerings.

Google Maps

I can follow brands and local guides in Google Maps to receive updates on their activities in the maps following tab.

Google Chrome

I can follow any website with the Chrome Browser follow button, which adds it to the following tab. The content of which you can influence through a compatible RSS feed.

Google mobile app

In the Google mobile app, I can follow my favorite sporting teams to get game reminders and result updates, which also impact Discover personalization.

Knowledge Panel on SERPs

Or I can follow an entity by clicking the bell on its Knowledge Panel in Google Search to add it as a topic of interest, similarly influencing Discover and other surfaces.

Clearly, Google needs to consolidate. Yet, it’s evident that the company is heavily investing in encouraging users to follow content on Google surfaces, with more developments on the way.

In Chrome flags, you can enable enhancements to the Following and the New tab page.

These enhancements spell the end of Google’s desktop homepage as we have known it for 20 years.

It won’t just be a search box on a white background anymore. It will include Discover and other cards like its mobile counterpart, becoming a space for people to begin their journey through search or discovery.

To get on this Google homepage on mobile (and soon desktop), engaging your audience and growing a strong followership on Google surfaces will be key.

As Google increases followership numbers, it will potentially:

• Double down on the visibility of content from followed brands across all their surfaces.
• Use it as a more general visibility signal to support the algorithmic understanding of E-E-A-T. 

Followership is a factor in many other existing social algorithms, after all. 

Google recently added followership numbers as rich snippets accompanying social media profiles. What’s to stop them from displaying the domain followership numbers for your brand website?

No matter their motivation, Google is headed down the followership path. But SEO strategy is not adapting to these changes.

Why are “ranking factors” still in our vocabulary? Why is budget invested in keyword tracking tools? Traffic from Google isn’t driven primarily by blue links anymore.

The goal should not be just to rank in the SERPs. You must get your content in front of your target audience to drive engagement, which, if done well, will lead to conversions.

Do you talk about ranking in a social network like Instagram or TikTok? No. You talk about visibility. You know it’s hyper-personalized. What you publish this week matters because it impacts next week’s post reach. 

It’s the same on Google. Google has finally owned up to site-level signals influencing visibility. What is in the index influences the performance of future pieces.

And just like on social media where engagement and followers boost visibility, the same goes for Google surfaces.

---

How to boost followers for Google surface visibility

So, how do you drive up followership on the relevant surfaces for your brand? While only you can answer that for your audience, here are some ideas for inspiration.

1. Add a ‘Follow Us’ button

This can lead to a Google News publication from your article pages. It’s worthwhile to test a button vs. a banner or a combination of the two, as is done here on Search Engine Land.

2. Write up a subtle ‘how to’ piece

If you are in a relevant space, you can create content about the new following capabilities on Google.

Informing your audience how it benefits them, with a convenient call to action showing how to try it out on you, like what 9to5Google did.

3. Cross-channel promotion

Adding posts, stories and videos on relevant social media channels, sending a push notification or adding a link in an email newsletter can all be effective ways to drive up Google followership numbers.

Don’t forget about the social power of Google surfaces. For example, Google Maps allows posting, which will show up for the brand query in the SERPs.

Optimizing for visibility beyond Google search

Google is expanding beyond just search and moving into content discovery and social media functionalities. 

As a result, Google should no longer be viewed solely as a search engine but rather as an influential network of interconnecting surfaces like YouTube, Maps, News, Discover, and more. 

Aside from optimizing for search traffic, brands must consider visibility and followership across Google’s ecosystem of products. 

Whatever your tactics, it’s time to acknowledge the lines between search and social media are increasingly blurry. Be a first mover and optimize for followership on Google.

Key takeaways from the UK’s most effective holiday ads in 2023

Written on November 29, 2023 at 9:20 am, by admin

Most Americans have spent November watching Black Friday ads. But on the other side of the pond, most of their British cousins have been watching Christmas ads (a.k.a., “adverts”).

Yes, Black Friday sales have become common in the U.K. over the past decade, but Brits don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. So, right after Halloween, most digital marketers in Old Blighty launch their Christmas ad campaigns.

If digital marketers in the U.S. want a sneak preview of creative effectiveness in December, then they should find a quiet moment during the current shopping frenzy on this side of the pond to analyze and evaluate what are the most effective Christmas ads for 2023 over in the U.K.

Measuring advertising effectiveness

In this article, I utilized DAIVID, an AI-driven creative effectiveness platform, to analyze and evaluate advertising effectiveness.

DAIVID has created a Creative Effectiveness Score (CES), a composite metric that combines the three main drivers of effectiveness: attention, emotions and memory. 

Ads are evaluated using facial coding, eye tracking, and survey responses to determine which had the biggest emotional and business impact on viewers. Altogether, 3,600 respondents took part in the study, which analyzed 24 Christmas campaigns.

The UK’s most effective Christmas ads this year

Using DAIVID’s methodology, here are the six most effective Christmas ads from Great Britain that should have the biggest impact on Christmas shoppers’ hearts, minds and wallets during this year’s festive season (unless you’re into Festivus).

1. “The World Needs More Santas | Coca-Cola,” with a creative effectiveness score (CES) of 7.61 out of 10.

2. “The LEGO Group Holiday Hero,” with a CES of 7.55

3. “Boots Christmas Advert 2023 | #GiveJoy | Boots UK,” with a CES of 7.27.

4. “Duracell | Bunny Saves Christmas”

5. “Good as Gold | Shelter,” tied with a CES of 7.11.

6. “Snapper: The Perfect Tree | John Lewis & Partners | Christmas Ad 2023,” tied with a CES of 7.11.

---

What makes these ads effective?

I asked Ian Forrester, CEO and founder of DAIVID, for his take on this year’s most effective holiday ads: 

• “Coke certainly brought the Christmas fizz with its ‘The World Needs Santa’ campaign, which generated one the strongest emotional reactions of any Xmas ad this year. But the spot did more than just pack an emotional punch.”
• “Like LEGO and Boots’ ads, which make up the rest of the top three, it grabbed people’s attention by trying something different from the usual festive fare and combined it with strong branding.” 
• “Other ads, such as Shelter, also did well, but missed out on the top three because of poor brand recall. With so many festive ads coming out at the same time, advertisers need to do everything they can to wrestle attention away from their competitors by doing something different and memorable.”

Now, I’ve known Forrester since 2012, when he worked at Unruly. And over the years, we used to discuss the most shared Christmas adverts each year, until he left that company in 2019.

Back then, the retailer, John Lewis, and its ad agency Adam & Eve/DDB often created the Christmas advert at the top of the chart. This included “Monty the Penguin” in 2014, “Man on the Moon” in 2015, “Buster the Boxer” in 2016, and “The Boy and the Piano” in 2018.

But they seemed to have lost their magic formula for creating tear-jerking (but festive) ad fare somewhere around “Edgar the Excitable Dragon” in 2019, “Give a Little Love” in 2020, and “Unexpected Guest” in 2021.

Digital marketers on this side of the pond can guess what happened next. John Lewis changed agencies. Saatchi & Saatchi and production company Megaforce, which took over the creative reins this year for the first time, produced “Snapper: The Perfect Tree.”

Forrester’s ad research company had taken John Lewis’s Christmas campaigns from the last 13 years and ranked them using their CES yardstick. Altogether, 1,950 respondents took part in the study.

What did DAIVID discover?

Well, “Snapper: The Perfect Tree” was among the top four (or five) most effective John Lewis Christmas ads, behind only “Buster the Boxer” with a CES score of 7.4, “Man on the Moon” with 7.3, “The Boy and the Piano” with 7.2, and tied with “Monty the Penguin” with 7.1.

So, what does that mean?

Forrester said: 

• “While this year we saw a new agency at the helm, Saatchi & Saatchi didn’t mess too much with the winning John Lewis formula, but still elevated itself above the sea of sameness. ‘Snapper: The Perfect Tree’ looks and feels like a John Lewis Xmas ad.”
• “That includes wheeling out many of the tried-and-trusted John Lewis emotions – including warmth, aesthetic appreciation and joy – to good effect. These emotions played a huge role in driving overall effectiveness.”
• “The ad also scored well for attention, the second strongest we have ever seen from a John Lewis Christmas ad, and decent branding resulted in a strong brand recall score. Yet strong negative emotions, most notably confusion, prevented the ad from finishing higher up the chart.
• “This was largely down to its portrayal of a Venus flytrap as a Christmas tree. This surprised people and many found it funny, with 14.7% of viewers finding it hilarious, but it also confused almost as many people (14.0%). High levels of boredom (11.2%) also held the ad back from finishing in the top three.”

There you have it: Critical data and strategic insights.

And that’s a winning combination, no matter what month it is or what side of the pond you’re on.
