What is Google Things to do?

Google Things to do is a new platform for finding fun activities, making it easier than ever before for customers to discover and book fun experiences at your business. It’s an exciting new way to sell tickets directly from Google Search results, sending clicks straight to your online store and increasing direct bookings.

The program allows you to connect with millions of people using Google Search, Google Maps, and Google My Business every day, driving them to purchase tickets directly on your online store.

Whether customers are looking for something new to do with friends or searching for ways to entertain visiting family on the weekend, GTTD will help them find the perfect activity, and make it easy to book their tickets to the activity of their choice.

What does GTTD to do look like? 

Customers can discover your business by searching by location or interest, exploring curated content like top-rated activities, or simply scrolling through the feeds of nearby attractions, cities and countries and browsing available tickets and prices. When a customer chooses the ticket, they will be directed directly to your online store for purchase. Hint: our Cloud Store partners benefit from higher revenue and conversion rates by using Catalate’s proprietary dynamic pricing strategy to drive the most intelligent ticket pricing.

Since traffic is directed from Google to your own store, you’ll own the full customer experience, get more direct sales, and acquire data from customer purchases. With increased highly-qualified traffic sourced by Google, you can reach more people at a lower cost of acquisition.
