“The best performing [CPG] companies are pushing the boundaries of the “perfect page” online by providing rich product information and content that also helps deliver search results that are more favorable to their company.
These can include high-quality pictures with rollover notes, detailed product descriptions and reviews, product comparisons, videos, and mobile-optimized sites, which give consumers all they need to know at the point of purchase.”

Bob wants to stream video from his phone to his TV. He goes to Google.com and searches for “streaming media device that works with iphone”
Bob sees an ad for Chromecast and clicks on it. There he reads that it is compatible with his phone. The product suits his needs, so the ad has a greater chance of resulting in a sale.
A variety of retailers advertise the Chromecast streaming media device, but their ads don’t display detailed product information, such as which smart phones it is compatible with.
Fortunately, for each ad, in addition to the information displayed on Google, additional information about a product can be invisibly “attached” to ads.
