Short answer
Shopping ads, also called product listing ads, are search ads that display a product's image, title, price, and store name. Instead of written ad copy and keywords, they are generated from a merchant's product feed, and the platform matches products to relevant searches. They give shoppers visual, comparable information before they click.
