Comparing Google Smart Shopping and Google Shopping below aims to give you a specific insight into the clearest differences between these two forms of Google advertising. Each tool will have different strengths and advantages, let's explore them with ECOMCX right now.
Recently, Google launched its latest advertising campaign, Google Smart Shopping, with a smart and multi-channel platform, meeting the demand for expanding the online advertising market for retailers. However, many people still do not fully understand this campaign, or its difference from the regular Google Shopping campaign.

Comparing Google Smart Shopping and Google Shopping
Google Smart Shopping is an advertising format quite similar to Google Shopping but with a smarter breakthrough. If Google Shopping is an advertising format based on Google search network display and easily controlled manually, then Google Smart Shopping is a new format that uses Google's automatic machine learning to distribute ad impressions to target audiences, optimizing and aiming for higher conversion rates for campaigns.
Specifically, Google Smart Shopping not only displays on the Google search network like Google Shopping but also distributes to more diverse display networks such as: Google Display Network, Youtube, Gmail...
Essentially, both campaigns have their own pros and cons. Google Smart Shopping aims for high automatic optimization, while Google Shopping focuses on proactivity for the campaign implementer. For example, regarding campaign bids, Google Shopping can be actively adjusted, but Google Smart Shopping cannot; keywords also cannot be set manually but must go through Google's keyword machine learning.
That's the comparison between Google Smart Shopping and Google Shopping, but in terms of applicability, it's impossible to say which campaign is better; only which campaign is more suitable for each business target.
Campaign Selection Advice for Advertisers
Choosing the most optimal advertising campaign depends on the advertiser's capabilities, experience, and the campaign's objective.
When should you choose a Google Shopping campaign?
- When the advertiser has high knowledge, experience, and technical expertise to proactively manage the campaign and optimize its objectives.
- When you need to run negative keyword ads, because Google Smart Shopping campaigns do not allow that.
- When you want to control and adjust bids at the most optimal level, avoiding situations where campaign budget is inflated.
- When the advertised product needs to focus on targeting characteristics such as: geographical location, age, customer interests. Or your campaign is not simply about increasing conversion rates and selling more products.

When should you choose a Google Smart Shopping campaign?

- The advertiser prioritizes revenue, conversion rates, and selling many products as the biggest goal.
- When you don't have much experience running Google ads, Google's automatic machine learning helps you shape and find customers.
- Quick and easy setup
- Highly automated, simple, requires less effort and time
