Package tracking Early Adopters Program

Package tracking is a feature that displays package tracking related information on Google. When people come to Search looking to track a package shipped with your company, they'll be able to enter a package ID directly. The feature uses your API to retrieve the package tracking information and then displays it to the user. Here's how package tracking information may appear on Google Search when a user seeks to track a package.

Feature availability

Package tracking is available in all languages and countries where Google Search is available.
