Google expands ads in AI Mode to international markets
Overview
Google will bring ads in AI Mode and multi-turn ads to international markets, according to a TechCrunch report on Alphabet's third-quarter results.
The report does not give a launch date or name the markets. Google says sponsored product listings in AI Mode already reach click-through rates comparable to organic listings.
The announcement came as Search advertising growth slowed to 12% in the quarter. Alphabet shares fell 8% after the results, and a separate X post by indigo (@indigox) puts the after-hours drop at about 10%, which he attributes to search growth slowing for two straight quarters. He also says advertising made up 64.28% of $127.577 billion in revenue and Google Cloud 24.07%, a figure the post presents as the first time pure search fell below 50% of revenue.
