Summary

Google is testing a new "1st order price" label on shopping ads that appear within search results. The label signals a special discounted price for customers placing their first order with a retailer. It is a variation of the earlier "First order" label that was tested a year ago. The feature is currently in a testing phase and not yet publicly available. It applies to shopping ads in search and can be toggled by merchants in their Merchant Center settings. The label does not change the underlying ad structure or pricing model. Merchants can use it to incentivize new customers and potentially increase conversion rates. No impact on existing campaign budgets or bidding strategies is expected.
