Google quietly removed the July announcement expanding Shopping ads and free listings to 14 new markets
- Date

- Primary source
- PPC News Feed
PPC News Feed found that the 14 countries added on July 14 had vanished from the supported-countries table and the announcement page returned a 404, with no explanation from Google.
The original announcement page (answer 17262696) now returns a not-found error. Google gave no explanation; observers read it as a delay or change in rollout plans for the March 2026 European expansion.
