YouTube Pilots Search From Comments
Over the next few weeks, YouTube will pilot a new program allowing users to search keywords found in the comments while the original video continues to play in a mini-player. YouTube will determine the keywords based on what they think the viewer will want to explore further, and clicking on a keyword may take a viewer to your competitor’s marketing.
Google Bard Expanded
Google has expanded Bard to 40 countries. Furthermore, the company has added new features that may help your digital marketing. Marketers can now pin, rename and pick up recent conversations in Bard’s sidebar. You can also share your answers in more places. Google Lens is more integrated into Bard. Furthermore, you can adjust the tone of your responses between simple, long, short, professional, or casual.
Updates to Dynamic Search Ads and Google Display Ads
While you need to opt into the program, Google has enhanced features for people using Dynamic Search Ads and Google Display Ads. These new features suggest queries that may convert better, lets you automatically stop ads when inventory is gone, and better customize ads to match user intent. Google also introduced more search categories and enhanced the ability to control dates when your ad shows.
