That’s why sellers will be thrilled to hear that Google has made it significantly easier to get your store noticed this year with Google Shopping’s free product listings across 48 countries!

Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s sales often represent the majority of eCommerce revenues throughout the year. Now, with free product listings, Google has taken the extra step to help ensure your 2021 holiday sales are a success.
