Google is making it easier for shoppers to shop during the upcoming holiday season. The company has updated search on mobile and tablets to provide a detailed information about a product.
“Starting this week, when you search for a specific product on your smartphone or tablet you’ll see more detailed information about the product and where to buy it, like which stores have it available and product reviews from customers. You’ll also be able to rotate selected products on Google Shopping in 360 degrees to see them in more detail. ”
posted Google on a company blog.
For example, on a query such as the Nexus 10, results will show the image of the product along with merchants who carry this tablet, detailed information on the product, and product reviews from customers. Additionally people can view images from multiple sources and explore products from any angle. Shoppers can now rotate selected products in 360 degrees to see them in more detail on mobile. The 360-degree feature is already available on desktop browsers.
Google said that shopping searches on Google coming from smartphones have increased 3.5 times year over year and continue to grow. People are also searching for Black Friday deals earlier than before, starting as early as beginning October.
