Ads make their way to Google image search results

Even your image search these days aren’t safe from ads. Google is introducing Shopping ads into image search results, so if you’re looking through new bags and jewelry, for example, you’ll see items that you can buy on the spot. Aside from that, Google is boosting its local inventory ads. It now shows you whether a retailer has in-store pickup and a store’s knowledge panel will turn inventory into something that’s searchable, which could help save you time since you find out earlier if it’s worth making a trip to a particular store.

Google Canada has clarified that only local inventory ads are available in the country. Shopping ads aren't currently available.
