The Scoop:

• Visual Brand Profiles on Search: To cater to over 40% of brand-related shopping queries, Google has launched visual brand profiles.

These tools not only help brands better showcase their products but also engage shoppers more effectively, which could lead to increased sales and customer loyalty.
