About annotations and badges in Shopping ads and free listings

Annotations and badges are additional information that may be displayed on the Shopping ads or free listings product cards. They help your product stand out and can help increase the performance of your offers.

This article provides an overview of the different types of annotations and badges. Select each type to learn more about it.

How it works

Google dynamically decides which annotations and badges to display, based on their relevance to customers and to improve Shopping ads and free listings performance for merchants. When customers click on your product, additional information may be shown in the product viewer.

Note: Providing all the information doesn’t guarantee that an annotation will be displayed for your products. Some annotations are only displayed on specific devices such as mobile and desktop, on specific surfaces like Google Search and the Shopping tab, or in specific countries. Annotations may be adjusted at any time.
