Google is rolling out ads in its AI-powered Search internationally, aiming to create new revenue streams as traditional Search ad growth slows. Despite Alphabet's Q3 revenue rising 25% to $127.6 billion, Search ad growth decelerated to 12% year-over-year, down from higher rates earlier in the year. Google highlights that AI-enhanced ad formats, including conversational and multi-turn ads, show promising engagement, with click-through rates matching organic listings. CEO Sundar Pichai noted that AI features are changing search behavior, with longer, more complex queries and increased use of voice, images, and documents, signaling a shift in how users interact with Search. This expansion follows recent AI product launches and growth in Google Cloud and services revenue.
