There will be a price insights feature in Google shopping tab which provides relevant additional info about the price history of a product, if it is available. This feature will show when a product was priced lowest and where.
The shopping feature is one of the aspects that the Search company believes it can improve users’ experience. It has mentioned facing competition from social media sites and e-commerce destinations when it comes to searches like products, dinning, and more.
With the improvements, Google hopes that it can increase the number of people that trust it as a destination to fulfil all their search needs.
