Aktualizacja 2024: Przegląd rynku Google CSS Partner

How we create the market overview

To make a fair analysis, we use publicly available data. We analyzed the Shopping ads of best-selling products from over 140 thousand webshops in Europe. In 2024, we found 1,012 Google CSS partners so far, which is an increase of nearly 200 Google CSS partners compared to the end of 2022.

Google puts effort into the Google CSS partner program

It’s good to see that the number of Google CSS partners is growing, it’s a sign that Google puts effort into the Google CSS partner program. This is also reflected in the number of merchants on Google Shopping, which is the default CSS for new merchants, compared to having a Google CSS partner. The Google CSS partner share grew from 37.9% to 43.6%. While this is good progress, it is still surprising that almost 60% of the merchants stick with Google Shopping as their CSS and miss out on the 20% margin difference.
