Highlights

  • Criteo named as Google’s first onsite retail media partner, marking a milestone in retail media growth.

  • Integration will begin with a limited beta in the Americas via Google Search Ads 360, with global rollout planned.

  • The collaboration aims to unlock new advertising budgets and provide unified measurement for improved investment decisions.

Criteo (NASDAQ:CRTO), a global platform that connects the commerce ecosystem, has announced a new integration with Google to expand onsite retail media. As Google’s first onsite retail media partner, the initiative is expected to create new opportunities for retailers and advertisers across the digital commerce landscape.

The integration marks a significant step in broadening how brands can access retail media channels, an area of digital advertising projected to reach USD 204 billion by 2027.

Limited Beta Rollout Through Google Search Ads 360

The collaboration will initially be available to a select group of customers in the Americas under a limited beta program via Google Search Ads 360. Over time, the integration will expand into additional Google Marketing Platform tools and reach global markets.

Criteo’s global network of more than 200 retailers can opt into the program, opening access to incremental demand from Google’s Search Ads 360 platform. Advertisers will benefit from the scale and reach of Criteo’s retailer network while using Google’s platform for campaign management, optimization, and performance measurement.

Unified Measurement and Incremental Impact

A key focus of the integration is to provide unified measurement for retailers, enabling advertisers to clearly assess how campaigns drive incremental outcomes. With better visibility into return on ad spend, brands can make more informed investment decisions, allocate budgets effectively, and optimize performance.

This transparency is intended to build confidence in retail media advertising while allowing a broader set of retailers to capture advertising dollars that have traditionally been concentrated among a handful of major players.

Expanding Opportunities Across Retail Media

By connecting global brands with Criteo’s diverse retail partners, the collaboration supports a more inclusive retail media ecosystem. Advertisers can design, launch, and refine campaigns across multiple retailers from within Search Ads 360, combining the scale, efficiency, and flexibility of both platforms.

The integration also introduces opportunities for retailers to attract new budgets, enhancing their ability to compete in a rapidly expanding industry.
