Google宣布推出通用商务协议(UCP),这是一项面向代理型商务的开放标准,覆盖从发现、购买到售后支持的完整购物链路。UCP为AI代理和系统建立通用语言,使其能在消费者端、商家和支付提供商之间无缝协作,避免为每个代理单独对接。该协议由Google与Shopify、Etsy、Wayfair、Target、Walmart等行业龙头共同开发,并获得Adyen、American Express、Best Buy、Mastercard、Stripe等20余家企业的背书。UCP将率先支持Google搜索结果(AI Mode)和Gemini应用中的直接结账功能,消费者可使用Google Pay或PayPal完成支付,商家仍保留销售记录权并可定制集成,有助于减少购物车放弃并提升转化。
同时,Google推出Business Agent(商业代理),让消费者在搜索中与品牌进行对话式互动,类似于虚拟销售顾问。该功能支持品牌以自身口吻回答产品问题,助力零售商在关键购物时刻触达用户并拉动销售。Lowe's、Michael's、Poshmark、Reebok等零售商已率先接入,未来商家可在Merchant Center中激活、定制代理,并基于自身数据训练模型、获取客户洞察,甚至实现代理式结账。这为零售商的用户获取(UA)和精细化运营提供了新抓手。
为适应对话式商务趋势,Google在Merchant Center新增数十个数据属性,覆盖常见产品问答、兼容配件或替代品等非传统关键词维度,帮助零售商在AI Mode、Gemini和Business Agent等场景中更容易被用户发现。这些属性将逐步向更多商家开放,旨在通过结构化数据优化投放策略,提升广告变现效率。
此外,Google推出Direct Offers(直供优惠)试点,允许广告主在AI Mode中向有购买意向的用户展示专属折扣(如20% off)。当用户搜索如“现代风格、易清洁的餐厅地毯”时,Google会智能匹配相关产品并叠加优惠,帮助商家促成交易。该功能初期聚焦折扣,后续将扩展至捆绑销售、免运费等价值属性。Petco、e.l.f. Cosmetics、Samsonite、Rugs USA及Shopify商家已参与测试,目标是通过AI驱动的增量提效(incrementality)连接新一代消费者,提升ROAS和LTV。
Meta introduces new creator tools for product tagging in posts and Reels, expanding affiliate partnerships with Amazon, eBay, Temu, and others. AI enhances shopping with product info surfacing and one-click checkout via PayPal and Stripe. Retail media gains product set optimization for campaigns, reducing seller cost per purchase by 17%. Product showcase expands to Reels and Stories. These updates aim to reduce friction from discovery to purchase, empowering creator monetization and advertiser performance.
Meta’s Advertising Week New York updates center on AI-driven campaign automation and faster creative production. Ads Creative Studio is expanding with performance insights. Meta AI business assistant gains creative insights, deeper business memory, and agentic abilities to plan, create, optimize, and schedule tasks, with advertiser permissions and approvals. AI-enabled audience discovery arrives in Detailed Targeting, and Customer Lifecycle Strategy helps prioritize new customers. Generative AI video expands for static assets, catalog product video, and smart recommendations. Direct checkout tests launch in Meta Business Agent on Messenger, Meta AI, and Muse. For ad ops, these tools promise efficiency, but governance and testing remain critical.
In 2025, non-game apps surpassed games in revenue, with total in-app spending hitting $167B. APAC publishers drove a $2.58B increase in gaming revenue. Short Drama and AI Assistant categories saw explosive growth, while Blinkit, Shopee, and DeepSeek led their sectors. For ad ops, this signals shifting user attention toward lifestyle, commerce, and AI tools, creating new inventory opportunities beyond gaming.
TikTok's full-funnel automation, integrating creative, media, and measurement, addresses fragmentation in AI tools. Brands using Smart+ and GMV Max see improved ROAS and CPA. Case studies show Naturium achieved 3.5x ROAS, PHLUR 191% higher ROAS, and Leatherman 97% revenue increase. Symphony and Content Suite enable scalable, authentic content. The key is pairing automation with strategic storytelling.
Meta and Sierra are previewing an open Personal Agent Protocol with Genesys, NiCE, Decagon, Rocket, Shopify, Stripe, and Walmart to standardize how personal agents like Muse interact with businesses. For ad ops, the key shift: high-intent customers will arrive via agents, not browsers. Blocking agents risks losing those customers. The protocol aims to cover authentication, user identity, business steering, APIs/connectors, and agent-to-agent communication. Brands should prepare for agent-readable product, inventory, booking, and support flows, plus measurement and consent. Expect less page-based browsing, more structured API and agent traffic; adapt bot policies, attribution, and customer journey controls now.
Ramadan drives high mobile engagement in the Gulf, but success hinges on pre-Ramadan acquisition for higher LTV and remarketing during the month. eCommerce peaks early; finance responds to mature market triggers; travel converts at Eid. Post-Ramadan, focus on retention over acquisition to stabilize. AI tools are operational but measurement lags. Key takeaway: plan early, leverage remarketing, and phase strategies by period.
Cross-channel marketing analytics isn't about putting Meta, Google, and TikTok numbers side by side—they often double-count the same customer journey. Fragmented identity is the real culprit; without a first-party Customer User ID, attribution measures platform credit, not customer value. The article explains that deduplicating conversions across mobile, web, and CTV can lift attributed revenue by 30–60% and improve ROAS by 20%. It walks through attribution models, warns against platform-native analytics, and advises using an independent MMP for true cross-channel measurement. Ad ops takeaway: fix identity resolution first, because AI-driven optimization and budget allocation depend on trustworthy, deduplicated data.
