Something huge just happened in the ad world.
Amazon walked away from Google Shopping ad auctions in late July 2025 and that move shook things up big time.
Cheaper Clicks, Better Results
When Amazon left, the numbers went wild:
-
Google Search ad spend jumped 10%, clicks up 11%
-
Cost-per-click (CPC) dropped 1% (finally going down!)
-
Google Shopping clicks up 15%, CPCs down again
-
Walmart jumped in, filling part of Amazon’s space
👉 For small and medium businesses, that means better visibility and cheaper ads if you move fast enough.
You snooze, you lose.
AI’s Taking Over (and It’s Actually Working)
Performance Max is now ruling the game as it eats 68% of Google Shopping spend, up from 59%.
And it’s not just hype:
-
Conversion rates up 2%
-
Sales per click up 5%
-
Smart bidding that reacts faster than any human could
But here’s the tricky part, 33% of that budget goes to non-shopping spots, like YouTube. Impressions there doubled.
Cool, but messy. Without the right setup, you’ll be spending blind.
