Google launches Commerce Media Suite to help brands boost sales on quick commerce platforms

Google has rolled out its new Commerce Media Suite in India to help brands and merchants reach more customers and increase sales on quick commerce and e-commerce marketplaces . The launch comes ahead of the festive season and the suite will be available through Google Ads . It will allow brands to target high-intent shoppers across Google's platforms — including Search, Shopping, YouTube, Display, Discover, and Gmail — and drive them directly to marketplace listings on platforms like Blinkit , Swiggy , Zepto , and Myntra. Google says the Commerce Media Suite uses AI-driven performance tools, offers more transparency, provides self-service options, and gives brands access to first-party marketplace data. It also enables product-level measurement, so companies can track the direct impact of their ad spend on product and category sales. Bhaskar Ramesh, Director, Omni-channel Businesses, Google India said 'Today, consumers demand immediacy and convenience, clearly demonstrated by the rise of quick commerce. To help brands capitalize on this, Commerce Media Suite opens fresh pathways for discovery across Google and YouTube, driving stronger results on quick commerce as well as e-commerce – a crucial advantage, especially during peak demand seasons.' Blinkit is among the first partners to adopt the solution. Anish Acharya, Director–Ad Monetization and Pricing at Blinkit, said, 'In today's cluttered market, Google's Commerce Media Suite offers a significant opportunity for our great brands to cut through the noise and connect with the modern consumer. We believe this will be a game-changer for brands leveraging the growing demand for immediacy, especially with the festive season approaching, making the most of Blinkit's remarkably high conversion rates.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo The company claimed that several brands have already seen strong returns from the tool.
