Google Launches Shopping
Experience In India
Simplifying Search experience
for consumers further, Google has
unveiled a new shopping search ex-
perience for the Indian users that
would allow them to filter through
offers, review prices from multiple
merchants and find the products
they are looking for. The shopping
search experience will be accessi-
ble through multiple products. The
first being 'made-to-browse' experi-
ence on the shopping homepage,
second being the shopping tab on
Google Search and the last being
style search in Google Lens.
Talking about the launch of the
new experience, Surojit Chatterjee,
Vice President - Product Manage-
ment, Google said, "More than 40
million Indians are coming online
every year, and search is an integral
part of their online journey. From
seasoned desktop shoppers to
first-time users with entry-level
smartphones, we hope this new
shopping experience will make
finding what people are looking for
just a little bit easier."
Shopping Homepage:
Google
explains that the new 'Shopping
Homepage' is a made-to-browse
destination for shoppers to
search across multiple product
categories and browse products
from thousands of retailers. It
includes smart features such as
price drops and a collection of the
most popular products on Google.
Bringing the experience to entry-
level phones, too, the similar
experience will also be available
as a Progressive Web App (PWA).
Shopping Tab:
A new addi-
tion to the quick search option
on Google is the shopping tab. It
will allow users to post queries
in Hindi and English and show
product lists, local store inventory
and review prices from across
multiple retailers.
Style Search in Google Lens:
Google has introduced an all-new
visual approach to finding prod-
ucts such as clothes, furniture,
and home decor. This can be done
by simply pointing the Lens app.
Merchant Centre:
Merchant is
used by retailers to upload store
and product data for shopping ads
for retailers. So far, the Merchant
Centre has been only available
in English, but now it supports
the Hindi language too. Retailers
will also be able to use Merchant
Centre to upload product details
so they can appear across Google,
without paying for ad campaigns.
According to the Sixth Eco-
nomic Census, there are 58 mil-
lion SMBs in India of which 35 per
cent are engaged in retail trade.
However, a very small number
of them have an online presence
-- clearly highlighting a huge op-
portunity for retailers to surface
their merchandise to the millions
of online consumers.
