Google Slightly Updates Google Merchant Search

Loren Baker covered a small update to Google’s Merchant Search, which we outed back in May. Currently, Google Merchant Search is available in the UK and allows you to compare loan providers.

After selecting the amount and clicking “compare lenders,” you will be taken to the Google Merchant Search page. I do wonder if Google pays themselves a CPC for each click. :)

You can further filter the results on the left hand side. Clicking on “Get Quote” returns a dynamic form that looks like this:
Loren asks, does this mean the end to UK comparison sites?
