Project overview

Initial Position

In order to comply with EU regulation, Google opened up its Google Shopping Platform to Comparison Shopping Services (CSS). Along with this opening, Google started to incentivise CSS providers with lower CPCs and a spend match program.

«Through the use of CSS campaigns in Google Shopping, we were able to expand our reach at favorable conditions while at the same time delivering strong performance.»
