ZDNET chooses deals based on the percentage of discount compared to the original price ($5 off a $20 item is just as good as $250 off a $1,000 item), how significant the discount is compared to pricing history, and whether our experts have tested and recommended the product. We also examine deals from a broader perspective, considering alternative options, unique use cases, stock availability, and existing customer reviews on websites such as Amazon, Best Buy, and Reddit.

Conversational is much the same as writing a prompt to Google's Gemini or in the search engine's AI Mode: You can ask for recommendations for a product based on an individual's taste or needs, and you'll receive suggestions that relate as closely to the request as possible. During an event for showing off these shopping features, one example included searching in AI Mode for a skin moisturizer that's particularly helpful for the cold winter months.

Google is testing showing the option ot track price changes for hotel results by email. We saw Google announce a similar feature back in March but now it is showing in the local hotel pack results in core search. This was spotted by Ethan H. who posted about this on LinkedIn - he told me "this feature was just added to the metasearch section of their GMB listings (not just maps/hotels section)." "We tend to look at these sections daily," he added.
