Google reveals a new feature for small merchants to upscale sales

Google has introduced new features aimed at helping small merchants improve their product images using generative AI. Small businesses can now identify themselves as such on Google Search and Google Maps, allowing their products to be labeled as “small business” in search results. This labeling makes it easier for shoppers to find and support their favorite small businesses. Additionally, Google has launched Product Studio, a set of AI tools to assist merchants in creating and managing product imagery. These tools include an AI-powered scene generation feature, text-to-image generative AI models, and prompts for holiday-themed scenes to inspire merchants. The new features are aimed at enhancing the shopping experience for both businesses and consumers.
