Google Ads Local Campaigns are optimized to help customers find you.
Local campaigns are designed to help businesses provide their potential customers the information that they need to decide when and how to visit their stores. Local campaigns streamline the process for you, making it easy to promote your stores across Google’s largest properties including the Google Search Network, Maps, YouTube, and the Google Display Network.
How do Local Campaigns work?
We identify the store locations you want to promote and link to your Google My Business account or affiliate locations. Local campaigns are focused on simplicity and growing your offline business goals. We use your store locations foot traffic, and together with Google’s machine learning technology will optimize bids, ad placements, and asset combinations. The campaign aims to maximize your in-store value:
- Using store visits
- Call clicks
- Direction clicks
- And promote your locations across Google properties and networks
Local campaigns also use radius targeting for the Google My Business and affiliate local extensions (ALE) locations. The radius can vary depending on the targeted locations and a user’s preference of travel distance to them. Other factors that determine the targeted radius include vertical, population density, and the existence of competitors.
How Does Google Know When Someone Visits One of Your Locations?
Although most consumer research and often buy online, foot traffic remains an important part of doing business. Google tracks millions of users who opted in to share their location, saw and clicked on an ad, then visited one of your locations. Google tracks store visits by utilizing a phone’s GPS history to match if someone visited your store after seeing an ad. Additionally, Google machine learning extrapolates data about similar users to both measure traffic as well as increase traffic to your business location. Check out the video below for more details on how this works.
