iHave you noticed that the shopping tag inside Google search results in South Africa seems to be missing? Now take a look what I'm gonna do below. I'm gonna open up my V P.
N and then I'm gonna do a search result in a number of different countries. I'm gonna go to the U. S.
A. I'm gonna go United Kingdom and I'm gonna go to Australia. I'm going to search for the word paddle rackets.
You can see very clearly that the shopping tab comes up for all those different countries and you can see the huge amount of free organic shopping listings. But now again when we go into South Africa it's missing. Unfortunately, I can't give you a solution and I don't know what the reason is.
I'm gonna try investigate to see if we can get any news but until then, like I mentioned that shopping tab in South Africa seems to be missing.
