Google Search Expands Return & Shipping Details In Search Results & New Search Console Reporting

Published

on

Google Shipping Warehouse

Google announced that it can now show expanded shipping and return information in the Google search results snippets. Google also added new Search Console reporting to help merchants debug these shipping and return structured data elements.

The funny thing is that we saw these being tested and added several months ago and now Google said it is officially supported. Google wrote, “Google Search can already display product pricing, now your products will be eligible to display Shipping and Return information on Google Search in the US and in more countries soon.”

Here is the screenshot Google shared of this:

Here is what we saw last July of this in the Google Search results:

Google also added new Search Console reports to help you monitor, debug and fix the structured data required to enable the display of these shipping and return information. “If your products don’t have shipping and return information or the shipping and return information was added incorrectly, you’ll receive warnings in the Merchant Listings report and via email notifications,” Google wrote.

Here is what that report looks like:

There are two ways to get these snippets to show in Google Search:

(1) Add structured data markup to your product pages.

(2) Submit this information through Google Merchant Center.

Don’t forget, a while back Google had this shopping experience scorecard data feed or some other data from a Google Merchant Center feed around shipping and return details.

Google did add new return policy information to the Product structured data documentation with this announcement. This whole section is new:

Daily Search Forum Recap: October 10, 2024

Published

on

Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.


Google Local Service Ads will require advertisers to have a Google Business Profile next month. Google is testing a Quick view button in search that gives searchers no reason to look at your site. Google may have 9,000 ad campaigns created every second. Google is testing verified labels for retailers in the product search results. Google is expanding store ratings to more countries.


Search Engine Roundtable Stories:


  • Google Tests Quick View Button For Recipes That Keep You On Google


    Google is testing placing a “quick view” button overlayed on the images on recipes within Google Search. The crazy part is that clicking on “Quick view” keeps you on Google while giving you a snapshot of the content from the publisher, without sending that traffic to the publisher.

  • Google Local Service Ads To Soon Require Google Business Profile


    Google will soon require businesses who want to advertise using Google Local Service Ads to also have a Google Business Profile. Google posted a notice that reads, “By Thursday, November 21, 2024, your Local Services ad will need a matching Google Business Profile to continue appearing in search results and to display your customer reviews.”

  • 9,000 Google Ads Campaigns Created Every Second???


    Thomas Eccel posted a guess, trying to figure out how many Google Ads campaigns are created in a timeframe. He said if the ad campaigns are issued in sequential order, based on his calculations, 9,000 ad campaigns are created on Google Ads every second.

  • Google Search Tests Verified Labels For Product Results


    Back in August we reported that Google was testing showing verified badges, verification labels, in the organic search results. Well, now Google is testing the verified label on the detailed product results overlay, on retailer listings.



  • Google Store Ratings Now Available In India, Australia, Canada & UK


    Google is rolling out the Store ratings feature beyond US Search. It is rolling out to searchers in Australia, Canada, India and the United Kingdom. Although, we’ve seen examples of Google showing them in Australia and other countries over the years, I guess as a test.



  • Google Noogler Bison Again


    We have a photo of this Google Bison from 2018. It looks to be in the same condition but moved from its previous location. It also looks angry…
