Before when you for example visited google.co.uk and search for a product you would get shopping results among text ads. Or&nbsp;if you go to google.co.uk\/shopping you would see products relevant to the search. Instead what you see in the Shopping Search is a blank page&nbsp;and only text ads on Web Search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So why has this happened?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not really sure why they did this, but can assume that Google only wants to show products that are native country to the searcher&#8217;s country location. Which in a sense is a good idea, as I manage to a lot of Google Ads clients, I think this is a good move. However, it has created a little wake of issues for people who need to check results in a country not native to their location. This problem is for agencies, freelancers and individuals that want to visually see shopping ad results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should you do now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, there is no real workaround and recommend doing two things :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.en.advertisercommunity.com\/t5\/Google-Shopping-and-Merchant\/Google-Shopping-Results-Removed-When-Searching-From-A-Foreign\/td-p\/855542\">post a reply on Google&#8217;s official advertising community<\/a> to get Google&#8217;s attention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/adwords\/answer\/8206?hl=en\">Contact Google&#8217;s official help line<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there an alternative?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, there are three methods :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Rely on Google Ads data, which should be your first line of offense, however I do too require sometimes to look at ads visually<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In that case I use a service such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/\">semrush<\/a>&nbsp;(paid service), below is a screenshot of what to expect<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/feedarmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/semrush-pla-research.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/feedarmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/semrush-pla-research-300x284.jpg\" alt=\"semrush pla research\" class=\"wp-image-2068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/feedarmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/semrush-pla-research-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/feedarmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/semrush-pla-research-1024x970.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of October 2016, if you are searching for products that are not native to your country&#8217;s location, you will notice that the Google shopping results will not show up.
