The official blog for the latest news from Google Commerce
The +1 button for retailers
8/25/11
(Cross-posted on the
Google Retail
and
Google Merchant
blogs)
The people we know and trust have a big influence on our purchase decisions. I bought the chef’s knife I use every day on the recommendation of my friend Eliot, who more than knows his way around the kitchen. And I always try to bring my friend Brian along when I’m music shopping, since he has a knack for pointing out great albums I’ve never heard of.
We’re excited about the
+1 button
because it brings these personal recommendations to a place where many purchase decisions start -- the Google search results page.
Adding +1 buttons to your product pages makes it easy for your customers to recommend the products they love on your site with a single click. And thanks to
recent improvements to the +1 button
, they can take the conversation even further by sharing your products right away on Google+.
From there, +1 annotations can help your products stand out. Potential customers might see +1’s from their friends and contacts on your search ads, your organic Google Search results, or even on your page itself.
We’ve worked with
Bazaarvoice
and
PowerReviews
to make it even easier to get the +1 button on your pages. Both companies have extensive experience in social commerce, and can help you develop the right strategy for implementing +1 buttons on your site.
Looking for a couple examples of retailers using +1 to help their products stand out on Google search?
Jockey
(working with PowerReviews) and
Golfsmith
(working with Bazaarvoice) have already added +1 buttons to the product pages on their sites.
If you’d prefer to add the +1 button to pages yourself, it’s easy to do. Just install a
small snippet of code
wherever you want the +1 button to appear. For advanced implementation FAQs and documentation, you can visit the
+1 button page on Google Code
.
As more retailers add +1 buttons to their sites, we’re excited about how much more helpful search results will get. The next time I need a new frying pan, I won’t need to call Eliot up -- his recommendation will be right there waiting for me.
