Google Ads Sponsored Products Results Go Imageless

Google Ads has been experiencing an issue where images are missing from sponsored product results. A user shared a screenshot on LinkedIn showing that the images typically displayed above ad titles and descriptions were absent from the Sponsored products carousel in Google Search.

The issue was reported by Arpan Banerje, who posted the screenshot of the missing images on LinkedIn. However, when tested shortly after, it appeared that the issue was temporary and not a deliberate change made by Google.

Experts believe that showing images in sponsored product results can increase click-through rates, which could be a reason why Google may have been testing this feature.
