Google launches new car insurance engine
Google has launched or is testing (more likely) a new car insurance aggregator today. It'll compete with the likes of Confused (client), GoCompare (not client) and MoneySupermarket (not client) - pretty much directly.
I've been able to recreate this all morning by searching for [compare car insurance].
The interesting thing to note is how the "ad" is presented in Google. This isn't in the AdWords area. This isn't an OneBox result. This is something new. A "Sponsored".
The info button associated with the i icon says;
Once inside the new finance engine users are presented with a discovery engine. This is far more attractive than Google's previous attempts in the area.
