Google Hotel Ads Testing New Local Three-Pack Entry Point

When users search on Google for hotels at a destination, they are typically greeted with a result page that has a mixture of paid search results, organic search links, and the local three-pack that includes three hotels for the destination that they searched for. This local three-pack is the entry point for a large percentage of the volume that is driven through Google Hotels Ads.

Now is the time for savvy hotel marketers to optimize their strategies to make the most of these new opportunities.
