The update was announced by Google Search Central on X (formerly Twitter). The article also notes that Seller Ratings are being rolled out for organic listings, highlighting broader efforts to improve product presence and measurement within Google's shopping ecosystem.

Recent verified developments and strategic activity across this market segment.
Google adds AI shopping insights to Merchant Center
Google announced new AI performance insights in Merchant Center that give retailers visibility into how products appear across Google's conversational shopping experiences (Search, Gemini, AI Overviews). The reports include share-of-voice metrics, shopping-funnel performance, product-term insights and product-attribute gap detection, and will flag missing structured product details such as color, material and style. Google frames the update as part of Merchant Center’s evolution from feed management toward AI commerce optimization. The features will roll out in the U.S., Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand in the coming months.
Google SEO Update for Merchants: Shipping Policies, Ads Advisor
Google announced two practical options for merchants to publish shipping and return policies without a Merchants Center account: (1) configure directly in Search Console for websites identified by Google as online Merchants, and (2) expose Shipping and Return Policies via markup in Google Search, extending a feature that previously supported return policies. This allows policies to be displayed without per-product entries. Separately, Google unveiled Ads Advisor, an AI-powered Ads agent designed to help advertisers proactively manage campaigns within Google Ads to optimize performance with minimal effort. Ads Advisor is slated to launch in December as a beta for English-language accounts worldwide, following Google's Analytics Advisor expansion. The updates illustrate Google's strategy to improve policy transparency for shoppers and integrate AI-driven automation into advertising across its search and ads platforms.
Google launches unified agentic AI for Gemini
At a Google Cloud event on Thursday, Google announced it is bringing agentic AI to its Gemini assistant, launching a unified agent that can autonomously plan and execute tasks on behalf of users. Aimed initially at businesses, the agent can connect to internal systems and external tools, use custom skills, and even choose from third-party models like Anthropic's Claude. It will have its own Workspace account with an email address, and will write its own audit trail. Early testers include On, Shopify, and PayPal. Gemini has over 1 billion monthly active users, and nearly 90% of Fortune 100 companies use Gemini Enterprise.
