I’m digesting this blog post today from Bazaarblog about how Office Depot increased clickthrough, conversion and sales from their Google ads simply by putting information based on customer reviews in their ads. What a great idea! Office Depot recently started a creative test to see how searchers would respond to messaging from product reviews on their site. The result was a 78% increase in clickthrough rate, 23% increase in conversion and almost 200% increase in revenue from their Google ads.
Here’s a sample of one of their ads (from the Bazaarvoice case study):

This would be an interesting test for online retailers that test copy in Google ads. You can bet we’ll be testing it!
