Google Ads Product Value Optimization Beta

Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today…

Google Merchant Center is rolling out automatic shipping updates under the automatic improvements tab. “Automatic shipping updates improve the accuracy of shipping information of your products. The feature can help your customers predict when they get their orders, and it can help improve your overall shipping performance,” Google said.

Google is testing a knowledge panel that includes a places card that can be expanded to show a map and local pack results. I cannot replicate this, which makes me think this is a test. I do see the places section below the knowledge panel, but not one that you can click to expand.
