Monetate estimates that during Q4 of 2014 smartphone conversion rates stood at 0.92 percent and that increased to a still unimpressive 2.86% for tablets. Luckily for online retailers, Google is trying to change that for good.Google reports that 50 percent of YouTube views come from mobile devices, and they\u2019ve taken that to heart with their two latest e-commerce developments.The first was the Wall Street Journal\u2019s recent announcement that Google will be rolling out buy now buttons for mobile searches. Shoppers searching for certain items would be presented with buy now buttons from certain retailers that had already purchased Product Listing Ads.This would lead them to a branded page hosted by Google where shoppers could choose sizing, colors, shipping options. Shoppers can also choose to opt into retailer\u2019s emails, and even save their payment options to enable one-click purchasing in the future.Get ready for the future of search and mobileOn May 21, Google officially announced TrueView\u2019s buy button for YouTube. TrueView will give online retailers the opportunity to provide a banner ad in their videos and a product card below it that will send shoppers to the appropriate product page on that retailer\u2019s site.Wayfair and Sephora both tested shoppable ads within their videos and proved how useful they could be for other retailers. Google boasted that Wayfair increased revenue per impression by 3x, when compared to their campaigns in the past. Sephora reported that using TrueView increased consideration by 80% and ad recall by 54%. This was all after just two minutes of videos viewed on average.      The future of SEO: Search, trends, content, Google algorithm update                Understanding and learning SEO methodologies that'll help your site rank for relevant terms isn't a job for the faint of heart - and those who can do this are in high demand today. Learn all about the future of SEO and the Google Page Experience update.      There are a few differences between the two new ad locations:The Google buy button is a bit more user friendly than the YouTube ads, as it makes one-click shopping possible. However,Google could learn from the data it garners from its buy button and implement one-click shopping on YouTube as well.YouTube ads will direct shoppers to a retailer\u2019s website, instead of them staying within Google when purchasing from buy now mobile buttons. This could lead to more abandoned carts, as it adds more steps to the process. At the same time, this will give retailers more autonomy in the process.Hilary Milnes of Digiday suggests that \u201cThe click-to-buy buttons are designed to drive sales seamlessly, but YouTube\u2019s shoppable ads appear to be more about driving a brand\u2019s mobile influence.\u201dGoogle has implemented these two new ways of shopping as logical (and profitable) ways to meet shoppers where they are.Why not make the path to purchase a little easier for shoppers that are clearly interested in the product? These new shoppable videos, along with Google\u2019s buy button will certainly help boost ad revenue for the search giant.Especially because consumers already go to YouTube for how-to and product reviews.The idea between both developments is to make the shopping process more seamless. One aspect that Google has yet to comment on is the cost difference between the two.      What is mobile commerce: M-commerce definition, stats, benefits                Actually talking on the phone...not so much. But consumers are choosing mobile commerce for more than half of their e-commerce purchases today - and that number only looks to get bigger. See the trends behind the rise of m-commerce.      Ready or not, mobile is here to stayGoogle is driving mobile commerce faster than any other company.There are a few things that retailers can do to make the most out of these opportunities:Produce more original video content that would make sense to pair with adsRevamp existing Google Shopping Campaigns (GSCs) to get ready for buy buttonsConnect GSCs with Google Merchant Center to add products to videos and customize based on customer demographics  Modern business, meet revenue:\u2013 End-to-end connected data\u2013 Engage quickly with a great CX\u2013 Sell anytime, anywhereGet going TODAY."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"2015","item":"https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2015\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"07","item":"https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2015\/\/07\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"09","item":"https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2015\/\/07\/\/09\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Google steps on the gas, drives mobile commerce into the future","item":"https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2015\/07\/09\/google-mobile-commerce-buy-now\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
