About
Google Commerce Media Network (CMN) lets you find and reach potential customers across all of Google’s channels, including Search, YouTube, and Discover, and send more traffic directly to the products you sell on a marketplace.
All you need is a Google Ads account that is linked to the marketplace of choice. With it, you can use product data from the marketplace to run full funnel marketing campaigns across all of Google’s channels, capturing valuable customers you might have missed.
Benefits of CMN
3 key benefits of CMN solution for your e-commerce business:
- Avoid audience saturation: Brands relying heavily on social advertising such as those using Meta CPAS risk capping their audience pool.
- For instance, 54% of YouTube Shorts users in SEA do not use Instagram Reels1, making Google Ads an high potential channel to tap new audiences
- Meet shoppers where they already are: Brands need to reach shoppers beyond social media where they are discovering new products, especially when 91% of Southeast Asian consumers use Google or YouTube daily.
- Streamline tracking and feed management: CMN allows brands to see the entire product-level conversion journey and run ads using the ecomm platform’s Google Merchant Center feed, removing the need for brands to build and manage their own feed.
